Welcome Back, Rocket Families!

Happy New Year! I hope your holiday season was filled with joy and special moments. We’re thrilled to welcome students back on Monday, January 6, and can’t wait to see them SOAR to new heights in 2025.

Thank you for your continued support—we’ll see you Monday morning, ready for an amazing year!

Warm regards,

~Jeannie Inagawa, Principal

When we return from the holiday break, we will be welcoming Mr. Jesse Williams to Peeples Elementary! Mr. Williams is currently the Assistant Principal at Robert J. Burch Elementary School and will be spending three weeks at Peeples as part of the Aspiring Principals Residency. During this time, he will work closely with Mrs. Inagawa to gain deeper insights into the role of the school principal. Click HERE to learn more about Mr. Williams, and be sure to give him a warm welcome when you see him on campus!

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the school year! I’d love to hear from you and reflect together on the journey so far. Please join me for Coffee and Conversation with the Principal on Friday, January 10th, from 7:45 AM to 9:00 AM in the Media Center. This informal, drop-in event is a great opportunity to connect, share your thoughts, and hear about the amazing things happening at Peeples. I value your feedback and look forward to discussing how we can continue to support our students and families!

Our INCREDIBLE Peeples Press 5th graders independently decided to challenge themselves to produce a special holiday edition in just ONE WEEK! Not only are they proud of themselves for setting and achieving their goal, but they are super proud of their finished product.

Fayette County Schools is challenging students in K-5th to read more over the Winter Break! Please help Peeples earn badges for each minute and page logged in Beanstack! The challenge will open on December 21 and close at 5:00 pm on January 5. We would love our Rockets to SOAR in reading and win the challenge!
