Pioneer Needs Assessment
This year Pioneer conducted a “needs assessment” with several groups of people (our students in 4th and 6th grade, our staff and community/parent groups). Below is a summary of what we found from their input. This input will drive our school plan and our school budget priorities.

- We would like inviting classrooms
- Small class size
- EL support so we can communicate with school
- Counseling available to students who may need to talk to someone
Common Themes from our Staff
