The new school year brings new staff to the Pioneer family. We are excited to welcome the new staff and their families to the Pierz area. Be sure to give them all a warm welcome when you see them! Stop by at Healy or Pioneer Open House night (Monday, August 26 from 4-6pm) or visit the Pierz Website to meet them virtually.

The Pioneers will take the field against the Little Falls Flyers on Thursday night, August 29 at 7pm at home. A few changes this year have been implemented for everyone's convenience and safety:

• The visiting team's fans will have their own section this year on the east side of the field creating more room for the Pioneer fans.

• With the additional seating, we expect all students and children coming to the game to sit and watch the game. Staff supervising the game will require children to take a seat.

• The district is not responsible for non-supervised areas. We love that our younger students love to play football, just not during the varsity football games. If your child is passionate about playing football, be sure to check out the Wednesday night football option!

• Last, we welcome the senior citizens of our Pierz community to watch all Pioneer home events at no charge (excluding playoff games)! Please stop by the district office and pick up a senior citizen pass for FREE entry to home activities.

Community education will use the same class registration as the Activities Department starting with fall camps and preschool. Please call if you have any trouble creating your account. Although both activities and community ed will use rSchools, you won't be able to check out a varsity sport and a youth camp simultaneously. User experience will be the same making it easier to navigate but they are two different stores requiring separate log-ins. A link to both stores will be on the Activities page and the Community Ed page.

Lunch payments will still be made with Edutrak.

Child care spots are filling quickly and are limited. Click here to register.
