Will Your Child’s Picture be in the Yearbook?

An Important Word About DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Parents, when completing the DIRECTORY INFORMATION card you receive in your child’s registration packet, please read the instructions carefully! Failing to check the boxes accurately can result in your child’s exclusion from a variety of school activities and services. In order for your child’s name and photo to appear in the directory section of the yearbook, you MUST release his name, photograph and grade level for RISD School Sponsored Purposes. Every year we have broken-hearted students and disappointed parents who did not realize that by failing to turn in a Directory Information card, or by failing to complete it accurately, they were being excluded from the portrait section of the yearbook – don’t be among them!


Check out Yearbook Central

Visit Yearbook Central on the Pearce home page (you’ll see the link on the right) to get the latest information about our exciting 2009 yearbook, important deadlines, school pictures, advertising and much more!

The theme for this year's Reflections contest is "WOW"... Hopefully on your summer trips, you have had the chance to thing about what you can use for your entry in photography, art, literature, music composition or dance choreography. More information to come...


RECORD YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS NOW

Our school will get the recognition it deserves!  Simply go to the PTA website at www.jjpearcepta.org and click on 'Volunteer Hours'.  You can get to this website quickly from the link at the top of this enewsletter. OR email your name, the dates and hours you worked, and the activity to one of the email addresses below. 

 

Volunteer Hours include attending meetings, baking, and helping with any school event—anything that you or your student

does for Pearce that does not result in a grade.  Always include 15 minutes driving time to and from school—and keep track

of the time you spend running errands on behalf of a school event.  You may record your hours in a combined total and enter

a general description of your activities.

 

If you signed in at the event, those hours have already been submitted and should not be duplicated.
