Harvest Fest Highlights & Thank You! 🎃🍂


A huge thank you to all of our amazing Pioneer families who came out to join us for Harvest Fest on Friday night! Not even a short spell of rain could stop us from coming together and enjoying all the festive fun.


We had an absolute blast exploring the Haunted Garden, playing games, bouncing in the Jolly Jumps, and checking out all of the creative costumes everyone wore!


A special shout-out and heartfelt thank you to our incredible PTO! Their tireless dedication, hard work, and commitment to our school made this night such a wonderful success for our entire community.


Be sure to check out the photos to relive some of our favorite moments from the night!


Warmly,

Mrs. Blackburn

Your Child's Attendance Counts! Your Child's Attendance Counts!

Explore New Worlds: Every Day is an Adventure! Explore New Worlds: Every Day is an Adventure!

As the autumn season sets in, our district-wide "Level Up" attendance journey moves into an exciting new realm! October is packed with brand-new subjects, hands-on experiments, and interactive group projects that bring learning to life for our young scholars.


This month, our focus is on encouraging students to discover new passions through active classroom experiences while keeping our daily attendance strong to prevent the early "fall attendance slump."

How to Beat the Fall Slump & Stay Charged Up:

  • 🧪 Hands-On Classroom Quests: October features engaging science activities, creative art projects, and collaborative group tasks. These tactile, interactive lessons can't be replicated on a make-up worksheet—showing up in person lets students fully experience the fun!

  • 🛡️ Shield Against Seasonal Fatigue: Shorter days and cooler mornings can make waking up a bit tougher. Keeping consistent bedtimes, laying out clothes the night before, and maintaining steady morning routines shield your child from morning rush stress and attendance slumps.

  • 🗺️ Explore New Learning Realms: From fresh reading units to interactive math games, everyday attendance gives your child the complete map to explore new subjects and build confidence alongside their classmates.

  • 📊 Keep the Streak Alive: Celebrate your child’s weekly attendance milestones! Small daily victories build momentum that carries students smoothly through the fall term.


When students show up every day, they unlock new discoveries and build friendships that make school an exciting place to be. If your family needs support with morning routines, transportation, or seasonal attendance challenges, please contact our front office—we are always here to help your student succeed!


Let’s beat the slump, discover new skills, and Level Up together this fall!
