Pierce believes that students are most successful when there is a strong home/school connection. Pierce has focused on strengthening these relationships through well-attended family and community information evenings, increased communication and whole community events, and the development of partnerships with community resources. Parents work as an integral part of a team with the FES teachers to give all children many opportunities and supports that make their total experience at FES rich and full of lifelong learning.

Pierce School’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is active and meets at Pierce School each month. Committed to enriching the experiences offered to students attending Pierce School, the PTO supports Pierce School students with numerous fundraising events and activities, winter wonderland experience at the Barbara C. Harris Center, literacy nights, family fun nights, Field Day, and their valuable time. Each year the PTO provides funding for additional field trips, expert visitors, clubs and activities above and beyond our general curriculum.
