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:


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
