We have innovative staff here at Pioneer! Mrs. J, our speech pathologist, teamed up with Mr. Towner, our innovation specialist, to create and 3D print a mouth model. Students who work with Mrs. J, work on proper tongue placement to correctly pronounce letters and sounds. This new model is helping students more concretely see an abstract concept. We are so thankful for team collaboration to help meet the needs of our students here at Pioneer.

The three-year Replacement Educational Programs and Operations Levy (Proposition 1) will replace the expiring 2020 levy and provide continued investment in PSD staff and programs. This levy accounts for about 18 percent of the district’s overall budget.
The six-year Safety, Security and Technology Levy (Proposition 2) will provide enhanced safety, security systems and technology improvements across the District. It will create a dedicated funding source to better protect, serve and prepare our students for the future.
Voters can learn more about these levies and ask questions at these public information meetings. The meetings will be held on the following dates and times:
•Wednesday, January 11th at 6 p.m. - PSD District Office and Zoom
