A Note from Our School
**We had a great first week of November. We are excited that next week we are bringing back our next PTA event- Pioneer’s McTeacher night. McTeacher Night raises money for our Pioneer Pumas. Of all money spent at McDonald’s on Valley Parkway between 3:00-6:00 on Tuesday, November 10th, 20% comes back to Pioneer! These funds help to bring field trips, prizes, events, and so much more for our students. Please plan to stop by in-person or through the drive thru! We will have many Pioneer teachers and staff there as well to say hello and thank you for supporting!
Also, a reminder, there is no school on Wednesday, November 11th in observance of Veteran’s Day. **
Every Day Counts - Attendance Challenge
**We’re on our way with our November Pie challenge! During this month, the class at each grade level with the highest average daily attendance will earn a chance to pie a staff member at our assembly on Monday, November 30! We have 10 staff members who are willing to be pied!
Monday: 95.35%
Tuesday: 94.80%
Wednesday: 95.55%
Thursday: 94.63%
Friday: 94.63%
