Peirce Families, I hope that you are enjoying the summer months! Please see the file below with a letter around upcoming capital improvements and the expansion of full day PK at Peirce. For many years, our turf has flooded into a mini lake, creating hazardous conditions for students, families and community members. I am very happy to announce that after three years of advocating for a new turf - we are getting one this summer! The project is anticipated to begin early August and may not be completed until early October. While getting a new turf is greatly appreciated, we will have logistical components to work around with morning entry, back to school festival and recess for the first month of school. Please know that I will be as proactive as possible in communicating with students, families and staff and that we will create a safe environment for your children when they return in the fall. In addition to the new turf, Peirce was allocated (3) full-day pre-school classrooms for the fall - families in our community have consistently asked for full day pre-school options and we are very fortunate to have this as an option for our youth. Please reach out with any questions and continue to enjoy summer! Thank you, Lori Zaimi Principal CPS Letter: Peirce Capital Improvements Can you believe Back to School activities are already around the corner?

Dear CPS Parents and Families,
As part of our efforts to strengthen our approach to keeping children safe, we are partnering with the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center to support students and help prevent sexual abuse. Our new partnership will help create safer and more responsive school environments by training Chicago Public Schools (CPS) employees on signs of abuse, connecting students with therapeutic resources, and leveraging additional partnerships to help protect Chicago’s students. Nothing is more important to CPS than keeping your children safe. While we have continuously strengthened critical protections in recent years, we are committed to doing everything possible to create safe and supportive school environments, and providing you with regular updates as we move forward with the comprehensive Plan of Action (bit.ly/cpsplanofaction) to better protect students. We are also taking a look at the whole system to ensure we’re supporting students effectively. Assistant U.S. Attorney and Illinois Executive Inspector General Maggie Hickey is conducting a top-to-bottom review of district policies and procedures to identify any other issues that need to be addressed. We expect that Ms. Hickey will release a preliminary set of recommendations in August, and we will work closely with her to implement them throughout the summer. We also recently announced additional steps to strengthen investigations, background checks, Board policies, and communication with families:
