Today, Sept. 8, marked a momentous milestone at Peninsula School District – the very first day for our adorable kindergarteners! 🍎 Welcome to the Class of 2036! 🎓✨

Today marked the start of an incredible new school year for our first through 12th graders, and the energy was ELECTRIC! 💥 Don't forget, tomorrow is a late start day to ease back into the groove, and Kindergarten will join the excitement on Friday!

School supplies for PSD students are being delivered this week to our schools, marking a significant stride towards fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments. 

Each student will receive a curated kit of supplies, tailored to their grade level's needs. 📝 ✏️ 🖍️

PSD is looking for volunteers to join our Special Education Parent Advisory Committee to help provide an inclusive learning space and support for all of PSD's students. 

The focus of SEPAC is; 

•To develop a Special Education Family Education series, scheduled throughout the school year; 
•To develop opportunities for relationship building between Special Education families, PSD staff, and community partners; and
•To promote inclusion through equal opportunities and access to quality education for ALL students, regardless of their abilities, backgrounds, or differences.

As we gear up for another exciting school year, we want to remind you about an important opportunity that goes beyond just meals. Now is the time to apply for the Free/Reduced Meals Application for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. This program offers a wide range of benefits that extend far beyond the cafeteria.

As outlined in our five year strategic plan, the Peninsula School District has committed to creating equitable and inclusive learning environments for every child in our schools. To help us reach this goal, PSD will provide all basic educational school supplies to our K-12 students at no cost to families during the 2023-2024 school year. You can see a full list of school supplies offered at your child’s grade level at our website - https://bit.ly/PSD-School-Supplies.

Peninsula School District invites everyone in the community to join us in our reading challenge. Our goal is to collectively read 1 million minutes by the last day of school, June 21, 2023.

Peninsula Light Company and PSD have collaborated to launch a ‘minutes read’ collection webpage as part of Peninsula Reads. When you’ve completed your reading activity, simply sign in and record how many minutes you read! Use this tool to log your reading minutes.

The Peninsula School District (PSD) Capital Projects team is working on installing new interior doors on classrooms at Discovery Elementary School. PSD Capital Projects are in the process of submitting applications for the proper permits to complete the project. Once permits are obtained, the district will start receiving bids from local contractors early in 2023.
