News and Announcements

Our weekly newsletter featured some of our local community members helping us with Fire Prevention Week.

School picture retakes will not take place this Friday as previously scheduled. Retake date just announced......November 4th!!!

The After School Program is available for Peninsula School Students beginning October 3rd.

The 8th Grade will hold a calendar raffle as their final fundraiser for class activities this year.

We are required to have 2 fire drills within the first
few weeks of school and we had our second one
on Thursday. The fire department was here with 2
trucks and an ambulance so if you hear this news
from your student know that it was part of the drill.
We are also required to have a lockdown drill which
we will have in the near future. Our teachers will be
discussing the procedure with their students but it
still can be a scary experience for the younger
students. If you feel it is appropriate, it does often
help to discuss it at home so students can better
understand the need to practice for safety.

Our after school program will be starting in early
October and will run Monday through Thursday. If
any parent is interested in working in the program
or volunteering in the program, please contact Julie
Satler for more information. [email protected]

We are now a fully implemented PBE school with
the addition of grades K-2 piloting this year. Our
teachers, with support from Nicole Chan, our
curriculum coordinator, have worked diligently this
summer to prepare for this year. We will be having
a Parent Information night October 20 at 6pm here
and hope that all K-2 parents will attend. If, in the
meantime, you have any questions or concerns at
all, please do not hesitate to contact us.

As I think you all know ,we use a bus note system
when we receive a call from parents about end of
the day arrangements. The notes are printed on
bright pink paper and are given to the classroom
teacher as we get the information. Our K-2
students ,who think they may be getting a bus note,
get very anxious if the day goes on and they do not
have their note. I know it is not always possible to
call early, but if the call to the office could be made
as soon as you know, it does alleviate this worry for
the young ones.
