Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders and the School Board’s Strategic Planning Committee encourage community members to complete surveys to help the ConVal School District to develop a new strategic plan.
Strategic plans act as a roadmap for the District to follow during a five-year period, highlighting specific projects and goals for long-term sustainable growth. The most recent strategic plan was created in 2016 and lasted through June 2021.
The survey will gather input about long-term strategies and goals that are most important to community members. Data collected will help the District to shape a strategic plan that reflects community priorities.
The survey is open to all stakeholders – parents/guardians, students, staff, and residents of Conval’s nine sending communities.
“We ask everyone to take a few moments to complete this important survey,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “This input is vital in guiding the District to develop a strategic plan to serve our students that reflects the goals and visions of our community.”
The survey is open and will remain live through Tuesday, Feb. 1. To take the survey:
A draft of the strategic plan is expected to be completed by June 2022. The plan will be reviewed by the School Board and implemented after approval.
More information about the strategic planning process can be found on the district’s website here.

Attendees will receive some great information regarding the Title I program at Pierce School. Please contact Kathie Morrocco, Title I Project Manager at kmorrocco@conval.edu for more information. You can sign up for the meeting here.
What is Title I?
Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies for children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
The majority of Title I funds are allocated at the district level in all states, based on mathematical formulas involving the number of children eligible for Title I support and the state per-pupil cost of education. Title I funds are currently allocated through four grants: basic grants, concentration grants, targeted grants, and Education Finance Incentive Grants EFIG).
Join Us for our Fall Open House Thursday, September 23rd from 5:30 - 7:00. This is a staggered event. Students with last names beginning with A-J, please come from 5:30 - 6:15, and students with last names that begin with K-Z, please come 6:15-7:30. We can't wait to see you.
Do you have a child(ren) that attends Pierce School? Would you like to make more connections with other Pierce families while helping out your children's school? Do you have some time to join us on the first Monday of the month? Well then Pierce School PTO is for you. We will be having our first PTO meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 7th (due to the holiday) at 6 pm and hope you can join us.

Some of my teachers have had two legs while others have had four or even eight. But all have taught me something important about how to be a good creature in the world.” This is how local author Sy Montgomery starts her book How to Be A Good Creature, a children’s book that can teach us all many lessons including how to be patient, respectful and to show courage. We used this book as a guide during kindness week before vacation.
All students listened to the story and thought about an animal that they have connected with or reflected on how they are good creatures in the world. Every child created a watercolor page about their reflection. These pages were turned into a beautiful book with the help of Jeannie Connolly of the Arts Integration program. The book was then hand-delivered to Sy Montgomery and her dog Thurber in Hancock. She was so touched that she took time to answer questions from students through Zoom this week. This integrated project was a wonderful way for students to think about who their teachers might be and what they might be able to teach others. Kindness and Courage are certainly a few examples that all Pierce School students can share.
