Pioneer elementary principals Tiffany Giannicchi (Delevan) and Mellisa Devitt (Arcade) have shared details about Student-Parent Orientation, which is scheduled for Sept. 8-12. 

The schools sent the following information in a letter to parents of general education students. UPK and kindergarten will attend half-days Monday through Friday, while grades 1-4 will utilize a mix of online and in-person learning.  Parents could also select a fully remote instructional option.

From the letter:

Your child’s teacher will be in contact with you about details regarding orientation. If you have more than one child attending school, you will pick one classroom to attend for orientation. The overall goal is to become familiar with the online platform (Microsoft Teams) that we will be using for remote instruction.
