PANTHER WELLNESS HUB In September, Pioneer Middle School students will participate in a schoolwide counseling lesson on Problem-Solving & Conflict Resolution. Students will learn the difference between bothering, conflict, and bullying while practicing respectful communication, empathy, problem-solving skills, and healthy ways to seek support from trusted adults. The lesson will focus on helping students make positive choices, solve problems safely and respectfully, and prevent situations from escalating.

We are dedicated to supporting every Panther academically, socially, and emotionally—every panther, every day!

Need to See the Counselor?

  • New Counseling Support Request Form: Please use the new counseling support request form for the 2026–2027 school year. This form replaces the form used last year and may be completed by students, staff, or families to request counseling support for a student.

ATTENDANCE POLICIES Please report absences daily by calling the attendance hotline at 584-0112 ext. 1. You can also email a doctor’s note to [email protected].

If a notification is not received from the parent within three days of an absence, the absence will be considered unexcused (AR 5113). Absences exceeding 3 consecutive days require a doctor’s note or the absences will be unexcused. After 6 days in total, a doctor’s note will be required every time a child is absent or it will be unexcused.

Student Sign-Out Policy:

Parents, it is required to have a valid form of ID every time you come to sign your student out of school early. If you do not have your ID with you, you will not be allowed to sign your student out. No Exceptions.
