Our Neighborhood:
I know that our traffic issues are significant each day, but we need to be mindful of our Pioneer neighbors. The neighborhood just west of Pioneer on Ann Arbor Road is especially impacted by this. Since our vehicle traffic is directly in front of their homes, we need to be mindful of the following items. Please do not park your vehicle directly in front of their driveway, mailboxes or trash cans. Many of our neighbors in this area aren’t getting mail, or their trash picked up, because it is blocked by parked vehicles. We will be adding some additional signage to help with this issue as well. Your cooperation and patience is appreciated.
Student Health:
If your child isn’t feeling well, at school, please encourage them to go to the SIC room next to the office. We are happy to let them use their cell phone to contact you or call home for them.
