Connection for Success Conferences
Pioneer MS News and Updates

Principal's Message
Dear Pioneer Families,
Over the past week, we have begun sending out information to start setting up our Connection for Success Conferences as well as teachers reaching out today to families that have not set up their conferences yet. The goal of this is to establish an opportunity in which our students and families could meet some of their teachers for this year and develop positive communication.
Conferences begin Wednesday, September 2, 2020, through Friday, September 11, 2020. We will have two sets of evening conferences on Thursday, September 3 and 10, 2020. If you have not set up your child's meeting, please make sure to contact the school office at (360) 426-8291 to do so at your earliest convenience. Please take a minute to review this newsletter to help clarify what the process will look like when you arrive for your conference.
Conference Dates and Times
What will it look like when I arrive to the school for conferences?
After entering the building, you will have your temperature checked and check to ensure you have an appropriate face mask covering and reminded to practice 6-foot distancing. At which point, you will be escorted to a set of chairs to sit and wait until a staff member from your child's grade level team arrives to meet you and walk you to the room for conferences.
What will we go over in my child's conferences?
- Welcome and introduction to the grade-level team.
- Go over what AVID is and what it will look like at Pioneer.
- Receive and log into your school Chromebook
- Have you log in to Skyward Family Access to makes sure you can log in and know which forms need to be completed
- Review and sign our Pioneer Title compact
- A quick introduction about Schoology our learning management platform
- Obtain any text resources if applicable
- Go over your child's schedule and what a typical day and week will look like
- Review how to stay connected (communication) for success
- Review some behavioral expectations for live (synchronous) and independent (asynchronous learning)
