Peirce School Family Newsletter - September 2018

9/8/2018

Greetings Peirce Families,

It was great to see our students back in the building this week - the first week is all about structures, routines and developing community, our students and teachers worked alongside of each other for team building activities, setting classroom agreements and creating a safe environment for learning.

Before school started, we received 1 additional Sp.Ed. teaching position and 2 additional Sp.Ed. Classroom assistant positions from CPS.
10th Day Budget adjustments will be made based on our enrollment as of September 17th. Please complete this survey to provide input around where you believe additional dollars should be allocated.
Congratulations to Ms. Thompson for writing and receiving our Out of School Time Grant - $36,000 was allocated to Peirce from CPS to support after school programs. Enrollment applications will go out at the end of September/Early October.
The turf replacement project will begin on Monday, September 10th and continue for approximately one month. See email sent on Friday, September 7th with more information.

Cheers to a successful 2018-2019 school year!
Lori Zaimi
Principal
