  • Community Volunteers Needed

    2/13/2023

    Our community enjoys bringing their canine companions to school grounds during hours when students and after-school programs are not using the facilities.

    Unfortunately, those sneaky canines manage to poop on our field and create some stinky situations for students and staff. 

    We have decided to form a poop patrol!  for details and to sign up for a shift.
    Our shoes and noses thank you in advance for doing your part.

    enrichment definition

    At Peninsula, reading, writing and math are fundamental. Enrichments are essential. They bring pleasure to reading and creativity to expression. Enrichment classes teach cross-curricular skills that demonstrate to students how math applies to art, music, physical education, and beyond. Enrichments are the colorful ties that bind the fully educated child together. Each of these certified teachers has a subject "specialty," complete with its own set of adopted educational standards. Most enrichment teachers have stand-alone classes and all collaborate with homeroom teachers to make curricular connections. We want students to know math doesn't just happen in "math class," it's all around us. Enrichments are fundamental to student engagement in school. Enrichments foster agency within a child and their ability to participate in their education.

    2024-25 School Year Supplies

    Some teachers request that, in lieu of purchasing supplies for individual children this year, parents make a School Pay donation, giving teachers the freedom to make their own supply purchases. Each grade level will have its own funding source. Consider donating to each grade level fund in which you have a student enrolled. Lists are included in the School Pay link, so community members can see how the money will be spent. Please do not make purchases from these lists except for backpacks, headphones, waterbottles, and three-ring binders (5th grade only). 
    For more information on School Pay, and activating your parent account, click here.

    ParentVue

    ParentVue is a website that offers secure, private access to school and student information, including class assignments, attendance, emergency contacts on file, the school calendar, and teacher contact details. Parents and guardians can see information for all of their students who attend èßäapp¹ÙÍø in one place. For students at the secondary level, student assignments and grades are available. 

    Click on the link to get started. Each parent or guardian will need an activation key (linked to the email address on file).  The school secretary can supply the key. Note: if you are calling the school for the activation key, you must call from a phone number on file.

    Each student also has an account to access the student version of this website, called StudentVue.

    Free and Reduced Lunch

    BREAKFAST and LUNCH are FREE for ALL Peninsula students during the 24-25 school year. Completing these forms helps Peninsula get access to other resources we may be entitled to.

    You will need your student's ID number to complete the paperwork. If the student is a returning èßäapp¹ÙÍø student their ID number can be found on their report card or in ParentVue. If the student is new to èßäapp¹ÙÍø, you can get an ID number from the school office.

    If you have students at schools other than Peninsula, where lunch is free for all students, you still need to apply for students attending Peninsula.
