Pioneer Community Update 5/14
Curbside pickup/dropoff coming!
Dear Pioneer Families,
Next week, the week of May 18-22, Pioneer Elementary School will allow our students and parents/guardians to pick up personal belongings left at the school and drop off items to be returned (i.e. technology, library books, etc.) through a curbside process with assigned time/date slots.
Teachers have been in their rooms this week to pack up belongings left in desks and cubbies. If you are aware of additional items that need to be gathered (such as musical instruments), please let your child’s teacher know. This will expedite the process and help us quickly locate all personal items. Belongings not picked up during your specified time/date will be stored and inaccessible until the 2020-2021 school year. We will not dispose of any personal items until families have a chance to check our lost and found in the fall. In order to maintain the safety of our families and staff, students and parents/guardians will not be permitted inside DCSD buildings during this time.
During your pick up time (details below) you will pull your vehicle into our bus loop or carpool area (following signage). Please write your student’s name (or names) on an 8x10 piece of paper and place it on the passenger side dashboard of your car. A member of our staff will come to your vehicle to pick up any items your student is returning, and provide your student with any personal belongings from inside the school. The belongings will be inside a labeled bag and our staff will load that bag into your vehicle’s trunk or other designated area. We will also have an area on Riva Ridge set aside for medication pick-up. Most of our classroom teachers are planning to be on hand during their designated pick-up time to wave goodbye to their students.
We ask that families remain in their vehicle during this process, and wear a cloth mask if possible. Families should also limit the number of people coming to pick up or drop off items if possible. Our school staff will wear protective gloves and masks throughout this process.
Prior to coming to pick up or drop off items, please be sure you have:
Labeled all items that your student will be returning to their school with their name and grade level.
Cleaned out your trunk so that it is obvious to our staff which items are to be returned to the school.
Your child’s name written on an 8x10 piece of paper in large, dark letters and placed on the passenger side of your dashboard.
If you have multiple students at Pioneer, we can arrange to have all your children’s belongings available at one pick up time. Please let your children’s teachers know which time you will be coming and make sure you have the names of all your children on the sign displayed on your dashboard. If you cannot make your scheduled pick up time, please call 303-387-8405 to make special arrangements. Thank you for your patience and cooperation in this process.
We have a few left, these will be passed out next week during curbside pickup/drop off!

The Emergency Feeding Program and serving sites will last all summer long, so please message this out to your parents/community.
