Welcome to a New School Year!

FUTURE COMMUNICATIONS:

It is very important that all Pioneer Families visit and update MiStar Parent Connection to review all personal contact information and emergency contact information to assure its accuracy.   Future communications will be through email and phone call blasts and that contact information is pulled from MiStar.

Pioneer Middle School Back to School News and Information

With Summer construction it is difficult to determine when the office will open in August. Generally the office opens the 2nd full week of August.  Please call 734-416-2772 before stopping by.

Summer Communication Link: 

Please complete the Back to School Registration Update for your student through MiStar Parent Connection beginning August 14 and prior to schedule pick-up.   All parents should complete this, including newly enrolled families.

• Once logged into MISTAR Parent Connection, you will look for the ‘Back to School Check-in’ link at the top of the home screen and follow the prompts. This process must be completed for all students. 

  After reading through (and completing) the required sections, please take a screenshot on your phone or print a copy of the Completed Registration Sheet and bring it to schedule pick-up.

Pioneer math teachers have developed a math packet for each level of math. Just 15 minutes spent three days a week can give your student a head start for the fall. 

An email will be sent from Principal Rhein with instructions to access the summer math.
