We understand that many families need before or after school care for their child during the week, which is why PSD has worked to create many options for families in the 2022-2023 school year.
On-site child care is available for our elementary families and is provided by three partner programs.

Second and third grade students at Pioneer Elementary School fell in love with the art of origami. With the help from their teacher, Elizabeth Kranich, they created a class store to share their creations with the whole school. Watch the video to learn more!
PSD will offer the Right at School before and after care program starting in the 2022-2023 school year.
