Family Weekly Update #3

A Note from Our School

It feels like fall is in the air this week! This shift in weather is when we typically see many items going missing and ending up in our Lost & Found. Please have your child check Lost & Found the next day if an item is missing. Items will be donated periodically as we don’t have adequate storage space for the amount of items lost.

Two yellow clothing racks holding jackets and sweatshirts stand on a sidewalk outside a black metal fence, with lunch boxes and water bottles placed on the ground nearby.

Family Literacy Night

We’re excited to host Pioneer’s first Family Literacy Night this upcoming Thursday, September 10 from 5:00-6:30 pm! Please plan to attend this incredible event.
