Pierce School Weekly Newsletter

Dear Families,

As part of our commitment to providing the best possible support and resources for students receiving special education services, we ask that you fill out the Family Involvement survey conducted by the New Hampshire Department of Education (NHED).

This brief survey is to gauge the level of family involvement in our schools and how it contributes to improving services and outcomes for children with special education. The survey window opens today, April 11, 2025. All responses are anonymous. To access the survey, please visit this NHDOE website. Please complete a separate survey for each child receiving special education services in your family. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child's education.

We greatly appreciate your support! Have a great weekend!

Kindly,

Alisha Hansen-Proulx

Principal of Pierce School

Our BES artists are parade ready! Each student designed a sculpture to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Children and the Arts. Having completed structure, volume, and form work, their focus this week was surface, color, and texture.

Enjoy our amazing sculpture collection during our BES Night of the Arts from 6-7 p.m. on Thursday, 5/15! Students can bring their sculptures home from the art show or they can pick them up during the next school day.

Students and family members are encouraged to carry their artwork in the Children and the Arts parade at noon in Peterborough on May 17th. Please visit the event page for information and updates: https://www.childrenandthearts.org/parade-faq

Thank you for supporting creativity!
