Donate to the readbox / Visit the readbox!
Students at Pierce Park Elementary have been enjoying the school Take
and Share Bookshelf (the readbox). The readbox is located in the front
entrance of the school. It is a place where students may donate books that
they no longer want OR may take books that they would like to read!
It is time for Spring cleaning! Please consider donating any books that your
child no longer wants to our school readbox! Other students will LOVE
reading books that your child no longer wants to keep. Donated books may
be dropped off in the library with Mrs. Jones.
LAST CALL FOR YEARBOOK PICTURES
The Pierce Park yearbook committee needs more pictures!
This will be the final request for Yearbook pictures as the
deadline to receive your submissions is quickly approaching! If you have attended any school functions (music program, class parties, field trips) and have taken pictures,
please consider sending them to the yearbook committee at
[email protected]. The final date to submit pictures to the
committee will be Monday, April 6, 2015.
Practice Makes Perfect!
The spring IRI/CBM testing is scheduled to take
place on April 23rd and 24th. This would be a
great time for students to begin extra reading time
at home in order to prepare for these state reading
tests. This will be the final IRI/CBM testing that
will take place for this school year.
