"Hello, I'm Amy and I'm a Paraeducator II at Quincy Elementary, Pioneer Campus. My "Why" for doing what I do is I'm good with kids and my job is a daily motivation to help, empower, and improve our community's students in school. I have care for what I do, and as an educator I feel pride that I give students support throughout the week to learn, smile and come back each day with confidence. I enjoy laughing and spending time with my son, family, and friends. I love going on walks, and living in simplicity in our small mountain town. Always remember, encouragement and care can make a huge difference!"

Instructional Minutes: Due to the recent weather we will need to make up some instructional minutes. Starting Monday, March 6th Pioneer will be dismissed at 2:30 pm Monday through Friday, until the end of the year.

Toolbox Next Week: We will focus on the empathy tool and being safe.

Parent Volunteers: COVID restrictions have been lifted and we miss having you involved and on campus. If you are interested in volunteering on the Pioneer campus please use this link to fill out a short survey.

Drills throughout the Year: Our children’s safety is our top priority. For this reason, we will practice fire drills and lockdown drills throughout the year. Our staff has been trained in the A.L.I.C.E procedures. Since this information, is new to many of our students they may be coming home with more questions. Thank you for your support in building a safe, educational environment where our students can thrive.

Bus or pick-up: Please let Mrs. Ashley and your child's teacher know by 1:00 pm if you need them to ride the bus or be picked up. This helps us have a smooth afternoon and ensure everyone arrives home safely!

The Lost Sierra Bike Team season begins on April 3 with practices on Mondays and Thursdays from 5-7.

Registration meetings will be held on March 13 and March 16 at 5:00 pm at Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds Serpillio Hall. Riders and a parent/guardian must attend in order to join the team this season. Any student in 6-12th grades in Plumas County can join and all they need to join is themself! The Lost Sierra Bike Team will have all the gear needed for any rider who does not have their own. They also have transportation options for riders who would like to join, but need help getting to practice, races, and other events. Looking forward to a great season!

No experience is necessary. Water will be served; please bring your bottle.

Dress in layers as there is much activity and no heat at the Vet's Hall.

This will be great fun. Beginners start at 6:30.
