Weekly update for Peirce Middle School
Dear Peirce Families,
Thank you so much for all your support getting the school year up and running. We had a great first week. Each grade level held town hall meeting to establish the expectations for the year and review the school procedures. As we look at the school calendar to start the year, Peirce Middle School will hold their 6th grade open house on Thursday, September 5 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Additionally, 7th and 8th grade open house will take place on Thursday, September 12 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Families will report directly to their student’s homeroom to start the evening. Please see the attached invitations below.
Lastly, Peirce will hold picture day on Friday, September 27. Every student will have their picture taken on this day. No payment is needed on picture day. In roughly two weeks after picture day, students will receive a proof booklet through their homeroom teacher for which families can determine if they would like to order the school pictures. An informational flyer from Barksdale Photos will be shared in the upcoming weeks.
