Together We Can Do So Much
At Pioneer Elementary, we work together to meet the needs of every student and family who walks through our doors.
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller
For Students
Let’s partner together to…
- Deal with big emotions and what to do about them
- Navigate issues with friends or other students
- Manage problems with classes or schoolwork
- Handle something happening at home
- Talk about any situation that’s bothering you
How to Ask for a Visit
If you need to visit, let your teacher or another trusted adult know you would like to see Mr. Locke or Mrs. Mehl. You can ask any time of day, and you are never in trouble for asking.
What We Keep Private
We’re really good at not telling others what you share with us, unless you share that someone is hurting you, you’re going to hurt someone else, or you’re going to hurt yourself. If that happens, then we have to work together with other trusted adults to keep everyone safe.
For Families
We’d love to work together to…
- Provide your family with community resource information
- Support your student through changes at home
- Assist your student with their peer relationships
- Help your student thrive socially, emotionally, and academically
How to Reach Us
Email is the fastest way to reach either of us — it lets us look at your student’s schedule and call you back at a time that works for you. You can also call the Pioneer front office at (405) 872-3472 and ask for Mrs. Mehl or Mr. Locke. Tell us what you are seeing at home; you do not need to have it figured out before you write.
