Who do I contact when..?
A guide to communication at Pioneer Springs
Communication Best Practices
- Always start by speaking directly with the person who is responsible for the thing about which you are wondering.
- Good communication takes time–anticipate that when you reach out to a person, s/he may need a few days to consider your question before formulating a response.
- Email can be a great way to ask general questions or to get factual information. However, in-person conferences and phone conversations can be even more productive. Please consider using these communication tools to build strong partnerships with staff.
- Pioneer Springs’ phone number is 704-494-0777. If you leave a voicemail, please know that our voicemail system takes up to 24 hours to deliver voicemails.
