Where Principal Raven Coit posts notes and updates.
Welcome!
Dear Peninsula Families, January 2025
Happy New Year! I hope 2025 brings us all growing health and happiness! This month our school-wide equity theme is collaboration. Ask your students what they’re learning about the skill of collaboration in class.
Upcoming Important Dates:
Monday January 20th–No School in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Friday January 24th–8th grade field trip to Arcata High School
Donate small pants!
We are in need of pants for boys and girls ages 4-8 years old. Have your children grown out of any pants you might be able to donate?
Attendance:
We want to remind you how important it is for your child to attend school every day (unless they are sick). When a student misses 2 days a month, they miss 20 days per year–an entire school month. That adds up to missing a full year of school by graduation! Reach out to us if you have any barriers to attendance that we can help you overcome.
Thank you for being a part of our Peninsula School community. We are excited to see what 2025 brings for all of us!
Sincerely,
Raven Coit
Principal & Superintendent
