Pioneer Community Update 11/19
Reminder, NO SCHOOL November 20th
Tomorrow, November 20th will be a teacher plan day. Teachers will use this day in preparation for remote learning beginning November 30th thru December 17th. Teachers will communicate directly with their families on the learning schedules for their class. Pioneer Elementary has elected to have a common lunch and recess time from 12:00-12:45. This will allow families to have a common break time if they have multiple grade levels in the household.
DCSD will continue to evaluate the COVID-19 situation during December to make further decisions about the second semester. The second semester is currently scheduled to resume Monday, January 4 for staff and Tuesday, January 5, for students. We will continue to keep families updated on our plans for return following Winter Break.
