COMMUNICATION 
SCHOOL NEWSLETTER: 
The newsletter is found on the elementary website. It is posted the last Friday of the month. The school will add community an-
nouncements for student clubs and other group activities. This information must be in the office by noon on the day before the news-
letter is to be posted. Parents and students are encouraged to use the Corporation Webpage: 
http://www.pioneer.k12.in.us/education/district/district.php?sectionid=1
TWO-WAY EXCHANGE: 
Communication between the home and the school is imperative. Students will often perceive things at school different from what they 
are. Should your child convey anything that disturbs you about what has taken place at school or in the classroom, you are strongly 
encouraged to contact the classroom teacher for information. 
Parents are strongly urged to follow the proper lines of communications as specified by board policy (9130). If a problem or question 
develops in a classroom or bus, parents should contact the appropriate classroom teacher or bus driver. If the parent is not satisfied 
with that contact or if the question or problem concerns an aspect of the school, the principal should be contacted. If parents are still 
unsatisfied with the outcome, the Superintendent of Schools may be approached with the concern. Problems or concerns should be 
addressed at the lowest level possible. 
TEACHER CONFERENCES: 
A conference is scheduled for each child during the school year (fall conferences). For additional conferences, parents may contact 
the teacher to arrange an appointment at a mutually convenient time. 
RECORDS: 
Records of each student’s progress are maintained and secured in the school office. These records are only available to applicable 
school personnel and the student’s legal parent/guardian in accordance with Pioneer Regional School Board policy. Parents may refer 
to Appendix C for their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
