Dear Peirce families,
This year, spring break will fall on Thursday, April 17, Friday, April 18, and Monday, April 21. I have attached our family vacation form for students to complete and return to the main office (Ms. Hill) so the dates can appropriately be entered into the portal. We kindly ask this to be done one day prior to the planned absence-Thank you!
On Tuesday, April 8, the Peirce PTO will hold their April meeting in the library at 6:30 pm. Additionally, folks may attend through Zoom-Click here. In addition the regularly scheduled topics, board elections for the 2025-2026 school year will take place during this time. We hope to see you there!
Lastly, Friday, April 11 (End of the school day-3:00) is the final day to order the 2024-2025 Peirce Yearbook. The cost is $20, and you may order this keepsake by clicking here.
