Dear Families of Peninsula Union School Students, August 5th, 2025
Key Points:
It is time to get registered for school!
Kindergarten and 7th grade students–get those vaccinations.
The first day of school is Thursday 8/14/25 at 8:35 a.m.
Come to our Welcome Back day on Friday 8/8 from 10-2 to get registered, meet the Wellness Center, get free stuff, tour the school, and more!
I am delighted to welcome you and your students to the 2025-2026 school year at Peninsula! We will be working hard as a team with you to create a safe and nurturing school home for all of our students to grow and learn together.
To prepare to come back to school, please make sure each student has a jacket and secure, flat-soled, closed-toe shoes ready for school every day. All school supplies will be provided for your students, for free, so you just need to make sure they come to school with their jacket. Please remember to write your student’s name on all items they might take off during the day, such as backpacks, jackets, and hats.
Welcome Back Day! Join us Friday 8/8 in the cafeteria anytime between 10 and 2 p.m. Get students registered, get a free donut, free school supplies, questions answered, school tours for our new families, and more!
We value your voice, and invite you to reach out if you’d like to chat. You can email me, or call the office to set up a time that works for us to talk. We can’t wait to get started learning with you and your students this year! We will see you on the first day of school, Thursday, August 14th, at 8:35 a.m.
Sincerely,
Principal Raven Coit
