Pinon Unified District
Pinon USD plans to hire additional teacher assistants for our school sites to help teachers with classroom instruction. We opened more classrooms for our in-person students to safely attend school. The teacher assistants will work directly with students as part of the academic intervention process. Our students need additional support to get them back at grade level after a year of distant learning. Not all of our students were able to access wifi to attend online classes last year. This created a gap in learning for our students and it is an area we plan to focus on to help our students get back on track.
We are also looking at different programs that will target the social and emotional learning needs of our students. Our ESS department is assisting the schools in identifying and providing the necessary supports to our students.
