Weekly Update

All students will be tested in the areas of Math, Reading and Language Usage two times this year via the NWEA test. The schedule for fall testing is as follows:

Parents will receive their child's test results in the mail upon conclusion of testing.

All students should have their picture taken for student ID and school record purposes. Students do not have to purchase a package in order to receive a student ID card.

Students will receive picture packet information during 6th hour next week. Students who wish to purchase a picture packet should complete the order form and give it to the photographer, along with payment, at the time their picture is taken. Or, parents may purchase the packets online at KaiserStudio.com.

Please note that yearbooks are not ordered through Kaiser Studio. Please see the Yearbook Order information included in this update.

ID cards will be created and given to students immediately after the picture is taken. Students who lose their ID card may obtain another one from the office for a $5.00 fee.

In an effort to support our local community, Pierce PTO has partnered with Buffalo Wild Wings for monthly fundraiser days! The way it works is you just need to show the fundraiser ticket below (on a mobile device or printed out) and Buffalo Wild Wings will give back 20% of all sales (on the specific dates indicated), to Pierce Middle School. You may use these fundraiser tickets for both dine-in and carryout, including alcohol. It's a fun way to get together, have great food and earn money for our school! Thank you for your support!

As a school, our goal is to offer an environment that is conducive to learning. We are an educational institution, preparing our children for life-long learning and the world of work. With this in mind, we work hard to establish an atmosphere that is respectful to all, encourages work, is safe and does not distract from the learning process. Our dress code policy is aligned with these goals.

The school has a right to ask a student to change his/her dress or personal grooming habits if it is deemed inappropriate or disruptive to the educational environment. Repeat violations of the dress and grooming code shall be considered defiance of authority and may result in disciplinary action as described in the Student Code of Conduct. Administrators will make the final determination as to what constitutes appropriate attire.
