Hello Peninsula Families!

To try and reduce the number of communication methods you receive from Peninsula, the office will only be using an application (app) called Remind for this school year.  If you haven't already, please take a moment and download the app.  (Your student's teacher may communicate with you using a different application about class-specific information).

Messages are best read if you download the Remind app onto your phone and/or desktop. 

Once you have downloaded the app, please make sure to turn on notifications!

If you do not have regular access to a phone or a computer, please email or call the office and we will work with you.

Dear PPS Community, 

This summer, youth gun violence has increased throughout the country and in the city of Portland.    This year 729 shootings have occurred throughout the Portland area, impacting PPS students, families, and entire school communities. This is traumatic for all and we encourage you to support one another and anyone impacted by gun violence in our community.

Dear PPS Community,

A moderate to high heat risk forecast continues in effect for the Portland Metro area. Here are safety measures and resources to follow to prevent heat related illness:

• Multnomah County has four 24-hour cooling centers, plus libraries with air conditioning
• The Oregon Health Authority has tips to stay safe in heat
• Beat the Heat- these are tips to help you prepare for extreme heat and information on heat related illnesses
• OSHA/NIOSH Heat APP - a heat safety tool app user guide
• If you know someone in need of shelter or drinking water, please dial 2-1-1, or email help@211info.org

Dear PPS Community,

A moderate to high heat risk is forecast for the Portland Metro area starting Monday, July 25 through Thursday, July 28. During this week, we will make every attempt to make decisions about summer program pauses and schedule changes by early morning. The health and safety of our students, staff, and partners is our top priority.

Dear PPS Families,
