Dear Peninsula Families, April 2025
Hello and Happy Spring! This month our theme is posterity and our social studies focus is caring for the earth. Ask your students what they’re learning about the responsibility of caring for the earth for future generations as the month goes along!
Starting 4/14, our 5th and 6th graders will be learning about puberty health from our wellness center educators, and our 7th and 8th graders will be learning about sexual health and healthy relationships, both in accordance with California Education Code. Fifth through eighth graders will be bringing home a letter with more information today. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Important Dates:
Spring Break is next week! No school April 7-11th.
TUESDAY Family Night is 4/29/25 at 4 p.m. Join us for an attendance themed game show, community dinner, and more!
Next year’s calendar has been board approved: Peninsula 25-26 Calendar
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 look forward to seeing you at Family Night on April 29th!
Gratefully,
*Raven Coit
P.S. Attention Fourth Graders!! Fourth graders can get into 19 state parks for FREE. A California State Park Adventure Pass helps them do just that. Parents of fourth grade students can sign up for the pass on behalf of their student. For more information, please visit www.parks.ca.gov/AdventurePass.
