Transportation
Check Bus Status. We supply rural bussing for the vicinity of Pierceland. Students who live in town walk to school. Busses are booked for events involving larger groups of students. Otherwise, we rely on our parent volunteers to help us out.
Lunch
Lunch break is from 11:40 to 12:20 daily. Town students are allowed to walk home at lunch, however most choose to stay.
We run a booth with a variety of items every lunch hour. Booth cards are available in denominations of $20 so that students do not have to worry about bringing cash every day. Intramurals are also offered at lunch alternating days between elementary and high school.

In our elementary wing, we have a very well-equipped resource room as well as a band room.
