Dear Peirce Families,


Thank you for such an excellent turnout this past week for our 6th grade Open House. We appreciate your support. This week, we will host our 7th and 8th grade open house on Thursday, September 12 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Families will report directly to their student’s homeroom to start the evening. The night will consist of a stop at each core teacher and a visit to the Unified Arts Fair which is held in the cafeteria and library. Please see the attached invitations below.

Lastly, Peirce will begin their after-school homework club (Champ's Club) on Tuesday, September 10 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the library. Champ's Club will meet every Tuesday and Thursday, and all students are welcome. No sign up is required. Please reach out to Dr. Yost (lyost@wcasd.k12.pa.us). Student pick up is at 4:00 p.m. in the front of the school (Flagpole).
