  • Please remember that you must notify PEDP prior to school dismissal whenever your child will not be attending for the day. You may do this in person, by phone (617-332-5881), in writing, or via e-mail: kids@peirceedp.com There is a calling fee of $25 if the staff need to make phone calls to find out where your child is at attendance time.
  • All children should be bringing a water bottle with them to school EVERY day. Please make sure that they are labeled with your child’s name.
  • Let’s play it safe! DO NOT PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY to drop off or pick up your children.
