Time is running out to register your child for Summer Learning. Please use this link to sign your elementary child(dren) up. An early registration will ensure that we have the staff and resources to host a robust summer learning program.
Explore and Expand (all schools) and Title 1 (for AES, PES, Pierce and GES) will begin on July 9th and run through August 1st. The daily schedule for each program is 9 - 12 Tuesday through Thursday. MS Summer Academy (for all rising 5th graders) begins on July 8th and runs through August 1st. MS Summer Academy is four days a week from 8am - 12:15pm. A more detailed description of summer learning opportunities can be found in the registration form. Similar to last year, all summer programming is free.
Pierce students will participate in Field Day on Monday, June 3rd at the Barbara C. Harris Center in Greenfield. Please have students at school on time by 8:40 am, the bus will leave shortly after arrival. Students who arrive after the bus departs will need to be driven to the Barbara C. Harris Center.
Please ensure that your student packs a snack, lunch (if you did not opt-in for a school-bagged lunch), and plenty of water to drink. The forecast is calling for highs in the low to mid-80s and sun. Please make sure students come to school wearing sunscreen. Students should wear clothing which is appropriate for the weather, and that is ok to get wet, bathing suits are not allowed. Please make sure that students wear shoes that are secure and safe to run in, flip flips are not safe, so please do not send your child in flip flops. If you have any questions, please reach out to Alisha Hansen-Proulx by email this weekend or the office first thing on Monday.
Frozen Treat: At the end of Field Day, the Craig Family has generously donated frozen treats for students to enjoy! Students will have choices between Italian Ice (Watermelon or Cherry) and Vanilla or Chocolate Kit Kat Ice Cream Cones. We also have Torpedo Pops if students would prefer those instead. These choices allow for all allergy concerns to be included: Dairy Free, Gluten Free and Nut Free options! Thank you so much to the Craig Family for your incredible donation to the PTO for this fun and cool end to an awesome day!
Our final assembly of the year is dedicated to the fabulous folks who make our school run that much smoother, and add just a touch more love to the culture...our incredible volunteers! Please join us on June 10th for a little celebration in the afternoon, beginning at 2:15pm. We hope you are able to come and join us!
The last Community Supper of this school year will be hosted by the Pierce School PTO, so please come join us for the our yummy menu of the night: Shepherd's Pie, (there will also be a gluten free version as well) salad, and for dessert a blueberry crisp! We hope to see you there, will bells on and decorations made for the tables by our own Pierce School students! See you on June 13th!
