Dear Delevan Families,

This past month, our students enjoyed celebrating both 100 Day and Valentine's Day. Looking ahead to march, we're excited to kick off our Reading Challenge, with plenty of fun activities for everyone to participate in. We are also thrilled to have the Catt County Health Department visiting to work with our students on essential health topics like hand washing and dental hygiene.

Additionally, March is Agriculture Month! Some of our students will have the opportunity to interact with members of the high school FFA (Future Farmers of America), who will share their knowledge about agriculture with our classes.

Wishing you and your families the best!

Mr. Jansma

Mrs. Bartz and Mrs. Skoczylas’ 4th graders are

thin and thick lava, taking notice

of the different type of bubbles that come

from each type of lava!

Pioneer Central School District is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program this school year. CEP is a federal program that allows eligible schools to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students. Every Pioneer student receives one free breakfast and one free lunch every school day. Nothing about the meals themselves has changed, and they all still meet the same nutritional standards they always have.

We will continue to collect the Education Benefits Form (formally meal application form) from families because this data is used to qualify the district for many forms of funding our schools. These funds help the district provide specialized services and school supplies directly to students that support ALL children in our schools. Forms can be filled out online at the link below or paper copy (available at the greeters desk). Information for families is included in the return to learn student folders.

Please contact Heidi Miles at hmiles@pioneerschools.org with any questions.
