Welcome to the Peirce community! This section is designed to provide answers to Frequently Asked Questions and offer you an overview of resources to help you get acclimated.

Communications:
Don’t miss out! New families should email [email protected] so that we are aware of your arrival and can start the process to include you in the PTO Family Directory. In addition to the Directory – an invaluable community resource for families planning playdates, etc. – the PTO uses this information to send out announcements, newsletters, and important messages from the Principal, so please make sure we always have an up-to-date email address on file. If you do not wish your information to be published in the Directory, you can select the appropriate option, and your information will remain private.
