Weekly update for Peirce Middle School
Dear Peirce Families,
This week, we will hold Veteran's Day assemblies to both learn about and celebrate our local veterans. Students created questions in their Social Studies classes for which will help our panel share their story with the school. Thank you to all our Veterans who have served!
Also, Parent-team conferences will take place in person or virtually on Tuesday, November 26 and Wednesday, November 27 at Peirce Middle School. Unlike elementary school, middle school conferences are not scheduled for every child. Parents who have not been contacted by our counseling team, but wish to have a team conference, may do so by completing a request form during this week. The request link will be shared with families tomorrow, Monday, November 11, and be open through the end of the day on Friday, November 15. Families will be notified of their conference times by the end of the day on Friday, November 22.
Lastly, The Peirce PTO has organized a spirit wear and gym shirt order through Tuttle. Families may order these items by clicking here. The order deadline is the end of the day on Monday, November 11. The anticipated delivery is early December and products will be given to students in homeroom. Additional questions may be directed to Gina Whittle or Gina.whittle@gmail.com or magmcgeary@gmail.com. Please the attached flyer below.
