Principal's Message
I am the Proud Principal of Pioneer Crossing Elementary!
In my 17 years as an educator, I've taught grades 5-8, served as a testing coordinator, and an assistant principal. I'm excited to start my 4th year as principal at PCE.
Our mission at PCE is to ensure student success for every child through high quality instruction from our dedicated teachers. Our teachers come prepared everyday to provide the best educational experience for our students. We welcome parent and community feedback on how we're doing.
This is going to be a great school year with an increase in student growth, safety, and teacher development.
Thank you for sending your children to school daily at PCE!
We have a new Campus Communication Representative and are now able to communicate with our parents and community! This is our monthly newsletter that will go out with the latest PCE updates to keep you informed.

Parent Drop off & Pick up Procedures
Please drop your students off at the front of the school in the drive through loop and drive slowly at all times. Please do not park your car and get out of your car in the drive through for drop off or pick up. If you wish to walk your child to the door or pick them up, please park your car in the parking lot and use the crosswalk.
Entering the Building
Scholars are to enter the building and go to the cafeteria if it is before 7:10 am, after 7:10 am, they are to go straight to class.
At this time, parents and volunteers are not allowed in the building until we are at a Stage 2. If you wish to have a meeting in person with an administrator or teacher, please call the front office and make an appointment.
Breakfast and Lunch
Breakfast and lunch is free for all students this school year. If a student gets a second breakfast or lunch, they will be charged. Please send money for your child's account for snacks and ice cream, because this is not included with lunch.
Masks
Our scholars are doing a great job of keeping their masks on and wearing them properly.
Health Updates
MISD continues to receive guidance from Austin Public Health, Centers for Disease Control and the Texas Education Agency.
Below are introductions of my leadership team!
Assistant Principal
My name is Ryane Gaston and I am thrilled to be starting my new role as the Assistant Principal at Pioneer Crossing Elementary. Along with the excitement, I am honored to be a part of the Pioneer Crossing Elementary community and I realize the great responsibility that I have to inspire, empower, and influence our youth, as well as the opportunity to positively impact the families, staff, and communities in support of our students. I am greatly looking forward to partnering with PCE to give our students what each and every one of them deserves—a top-quality education that will prepare them well for success in college and life.
I bring to PCE 17 years of experience as an educator. I have served in positions as a kindergarten, PPCD, 1st grade, K-5 resource, and 3rd grade teacher. Through the years, I have been able to build relationships with teachers and parents working collaboratively, while also remaining connected to student growth taking place in the classroom.
I am looking forward to this new role and continuing to work with the amazing staff, students, and community here at PCE to ensure our children achieve their full potential and are prepared for the next phase of their education.
