**Attendance:  

 Please help us to be efficient in the office.  We ask that you always call the school at 253-530-1206 by 9:30 am to let us know if your child will be absent or tardy. If you leave a voice message regarding attendance, please be sure to say who is calling; the student’s name; teacher’s name and reason for absence.

As the fall and winter storm season is upon us, we have prepared this message to explain Peninsula School District’s procedures and expectations during inclement weather and school closures. Below you will find guidelines to make this process easier, plus explain how weather decisions are made.

Open November 4, 2019 – January 15, 2020

PSD seeks to identify those students who may benefit from participating in the district’s Highly Capable Program. Assessments used for identification for the Highly Capable Program include the Cognitive Abilities Test, measures in core subjects, and referral information

The Peninsula School District (PSD) uses PowerSchool, a secure web-based system for our Parent Portal and student information system.  We recently upgraded the way we store contact information in PowerSchool in order to provide more accurate information and faster communication in case of an emergency.

As we complete the upgrade process, we need all parents and legal guardians to update their contact information for each student.

Winter weather is fast approaching and Discovery students going out to recess even when it’s raining, it would be a good idea to send your student with a change of clothes. We are running out of our supply in the health room.

Students from households that meet federal income guidelines are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. Complete the Free and Reduced Application returning it to your child’s school main office or to the Nutrition Services Office
