Just a reminder to all families entering Peninsula School to please buzz in at the front door and check in at the office. For the safety and security of all our students, please do not let any other individuals into the school if you are being let in. Please also refrain from standing in doorways with the doors open. This helps us keep everyone safe.

Please call our attendance line at 503-916-6275, email Sara at sgilds@pps.net or update through ParentVue if your child is missing school with the reason they are out. If there are multiple unexcused absences it is a district wide protocol that a teacher or member of our team will reach out to see how we can best support with getting your child to school. We know it can be hard and we are here to problem solve and support you and your family!

PPS has moved to paperless report cards this year.

ParentVue is the default method for PPS to share report cards with parents- NOT paper report cards.If you have forgotten your ParentVue password, cannot get into your account or have another ParentVue question, click here to get help. Report Cards will be available to view in ParentVue on November 8th.

If you would like your child to have their photos retaken, please click the link below:

The original photo order deadline for free shipping to the school is November 1st. After this date, a shipping fee will apply for orders sent directly to your home.

If you choose to have your child's photos retaken, you'll also receive a new window of free shipping. However, if you order from the original album after the deadline, shipping charges will apply.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Leaf raking, Mulching and putting the garden to bed.

Bring your favorite tools and meet at the front of the school.

The cafeteria fork and spoon supply is dwindling. Please bring any reusable forks and spoons you wish to donate to the office. Thanks!

Are you needing additional clothing for your children? PPS has a clothing closet full of gently used clothing for students in need. Parents can “shop” for their kids Mondays and Thursdays 10-1 at the clothing closet, or if those hours don’t work we can request a bag of clothes to be sent to the school. Reach out for a referral to Kate at 971 276 1759.

Please click here and check out the full list of past resources shared. Most of these are ongoing resources available. If you or your family needs access to additional resources (energy assistance, mental health, childcare, food boxes, clothing, etc.) please feel free to reach out via phone or text at my work cell 971.276.1759 - hablo español. I work part time and I'm in the school and available via phone Mondays-Thursdays before 2:15.

For the safety and security of our students, we will continue to ask that parents only enter the building if they are volunteering, have an appointment, or are picking a student up. This helps ensure that we know who is in the building at all times.

When you do enter the building for one of the above reasons, make sure to check in at the office and, if you're staying, print a visitor/volunteer badge.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We love having volunteers at Peninsula. Over the course of the year, caregivers will have several opportunties to volunteer either in the classroom or on field trips. All voluteers are required to complete a volunteer background check and training. Click here for information on the process.

It can take up to two weeks for your background check to be completed once you apply, so we encourage you to do it now just in case you decide to volunteer with us.

If you have completed the background check in the past, and are wondering if you are still active in the system, email Sara Gilds at sgilds@pps.net, and she will let you know.
