PIONEER SCHOOL NEWSLETTER PUBLISHED THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH ATTENDANCE LINE: 844-4213 WWW.WRSD.CA/PIONEER

5516—54 STREET ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE, AB PHONE: 403-845-2468

I'd like to thank parents for taking the time to provide feedback about our

interim report cards. If you haven't had time to share your thoughts, feel free to email

me. It is never too late to let us know what is working and what needs to be

revamped. It is only through ongoing communication we are able to work together

effectively for the benefit of our students.

Spring is here and we are quickly drawing near to the end of the school year. As

the weather becomes nicer, our students become more involved in outside activities. We

have had many students come without jackets or hoodies in the past couple weeks. With

spring squalls a possibility, I ask that you ensure your child has appropriate clothing for

weather conditions.

At this time of year we also find students getting low on pencils, pens and

paper. Please take a moment to check with your child to ensure he/she has enough

supplies to last through the end of the year.

Thank you for your continued support. Together we truly do make a difference

for our students.

We would like to offer a special thank you to the parents who

provided such a wonderful supper to the staff during parent teacher

interviews.

Principal

Renaissance News

On April 3rd we had a Mardi

Gras Academic Celebration

with a special appearance by Oopsie Daisie

The Clown. Oopsie Daisie was a fabulous

addition to our pep rally by painting faces,

making balloon animals and even stunning our

audience with magic tricks. Our gym was

filled with supportive parents, grandparents

and program sponsors as over half of

Pioneer’s students received recognition for

their achievements during the second term.

It makes us proud to see so many students

working hard to achieve well.

Congratulations to all who worked hard to

achieve their goals.

This month we also honoured students who

made an effort to achieve higher on their

overall grade and kept a “B” standing in all of

their other subjects. This term we

recognized over 30 students who improved

their overall average. Well done everyone!

We would also like to thank all of our

sponsors and volunteers for their generosity

to our students and our school. Thanks for

believing in us.
