I'd like to thank parents for taking the time to provide feedback about our
interim report cards. If you haven't had time to share your thoughts, feel free to email
me. It is never too late to let us know what is working and what needs to be
revamped. It is only through ongoing communication we are able to work together
effectively for the benefit of our students.
Spring is here and we are quickly drawing near to the end of the school year. As
the weather becomes nicer, our students become more involved in outside activities. We
have had many students come without jackets or hoodies in the past couple weeks. With
spring squalls a possibility, I ask that you ensure your child has appropriate clothing for
weather conditions.
At this time of year we also find students getting low on pencils, pens and
paper. Please take a moment to check with your child to ensure he/she has enough
supplies to last through the end of the year.
Thank you for your continued support. Together we truly do make a difference
for our students.
We would like to offer a special thank you to the parents who
provided such a wonderful supper to the staff during parent teacher
interviews.
Mrs. Douglas
Principal

Renaissance News
On April 3rd we had a Mardi
Gras Academic Celebration
with a special appearance by Oopsie Daisie
The Clown. Oopsie Daisie was a fabulous
addition to our pep rally by painting faces,
making balloon animals and even stunning our
audience with magic tricks. Our gym was
filled with supportive parents, grandparents
and program sponsors as over half of
Pioneer’s students received recognition for
their achievements during the second term.
It makes us proud to see so many students
working hard to achieve well.
Congratulations to all who worked hard to
achieve their goals.
This month we also honoured students who
made an effort to achieve higher on their
overall grade and kept a “B” standing in all of
their other subjects. This term we
recognized over 30 students who improved
their overall average. Well done everyone!
We would also like to thank all of our
sponsors and volunteers for their generosity
to our students and our school. Thanks for
believing in us.
