We've put together a list of three things that will help make your day go smoothly and be unforgettable. So take a deep breath, relax, and let's make your first day one to remember!1. More than Just an ID CardWe are delighted to share wonderful information about the Pines ID card, which will be your go-to resource during your time on campus.You'll need to take a photo on your first day for your ID card. Don't you know that your ID can be used to pay for school services, doubles as a room key, and allows you to log in and out of the school premises? Just a heads up, this card cannot be shared and can only be used by the student to whom it's issued.2.
