Peirce Pride

Dear Peirce families,

Happy New Year! We hope your winter break was filled with family, fun, and lots of time to recharge. Tomorrow, Thursday, January 2, we will welcome all our students back to school for two full days this week. Starting tomorrow, I’m delighted to share that Mrs. Anais Dixon will be stepping into the role of Certified School Nurse here at Peirce, transitioning from her current position as staff nurse. With Mrs. Dixon's knowledge and experience, I am confident that your child will continue to receive excellent care at Peirce Middle School. If you need to contact Mrs. Dixon, she can be reached at 484-266-2506 or

adixon1@wcasd.net.
