Welcome back from Spring Break! It's amazing to see that 75% of the school year has already passed. As we move forward through the end of the year, I ask that you continue to guide and support your child in the following ways: 1. Please ensure your child maintains a regular homework schedule. 2. Please ensure your child brings a nutritious lunch. 3. Remind your child that weather changes are continuous in Spring so dressing in layers is a good idea. 4. Please check to see that your child has adequate supplies to finish out the year. Our school council has developed a parent survey in an effort to acquire your thoughts about Pioneer School. The survey should have been emailed to you. In the event you did not receive the survey, please email your child's homeroom teacher or ask for a paper copy from the office. I'd like to remind parents that our next school council meeting is on April 22. It runs from 12:00 - 1:00 in the school library. We value your insight and appreciate having as many parents attend as possible. Thank you for your continued support. Working together, we can and do create powerful learning environments for our students.
