Family Weekly Update #5

A Note from Our School

We are 4 and a half weeks into the school year, and 3 weeks away from Parent Conferences. Parent Conferences are a fabulous opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher(s) and engage as a team about your child’s success and areas of growth.

If you have not already received information from your child’s teacher, please be on the lookout for it early next week. This will include scheduling your meeting time with them for parent conferences.

Every Day Counts - Attendance Challenge

At Pioneer, we recognize students each trimester who have amazing attendance. Historically we have invited any student with 0 or 1 absence for the trimester to our Carnival in the Courtyard. During this experience, students play games, dance to music, have snacks, and celebrate with their peers. This event occurs during the regular school hours. We typically have over 200 students invited to attend. We hope your child is invited this trimester and all trimesters this year!

Monday: 92.84%
Tuesday: 97.18%
Wednesday: 94.36%
Thursday: 94.36%
Friday: 94.92%
