The Peninsula School District will be accepting transfer applications for the 2010 – 2011 school year.

Forms are available at school offices, at the district website www.psd401.net or at the Peninsula School District Educational Service Center. Applications should be returned to the Peninsula School District Educational Service Center, 14015 62nd Ave. NW, Gig Harbor, WA 98332 no later than April 30, 2010.

Students Must Take New High School Proficiency Exam (formerly WASL)
   
  All sophomores and any juniors and seniors who have not passed the Reading and Writing WASL will be taking the High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE) starting March 16th. The HSPE replaces the WASL this year, but the graduation requirements that are tied to these tests have not been changed. Students must still pass the reading and writing sections of either the HSPE or the WASL in order to earn a high school diploma. Students should check with their school counselor if they are unsure of their graduation status regarding these state tests.

The new HSPE will look very much like the WASL. Some of the same items from the WASL are being used on the HSPE; however, the HSPE does not include the longer 4-point questions. Students will also see more multiple choice items and less open-ended questions. With the HSPE, Reading, Math and Science each require one day of testing. Writing has no changes and will still require students to test over two days.

Students must arrive by 7:30 am on the following days in order to participate in testing:
 
March 16th - Reading
March 17th - Writing
March 18th - Writing (Students must take both days of writing to earn a score)
April 13th - Math
April 15th - Science
 
Superintendent Forum May 4
   
 

The third in a series of four unstructured forums inviting community members to provide feedback, raise issues and ask questions pertinent to the Peninsula School District is scheduled for May 4 at Key Peninsula Middle School from 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. The meetings are held at middle school sites to afford community members the opportunity to visit their neighborhood schools. One final forum for the 2009-2010 school year is planned for June 1, 2010 Kopachuck Middle School, 6:30 p.m.  The evenings are hosted by Superintendent Terry Bouck and everyone is invited to participate—you do not need to have a student enrolled in the District. We look forward to hearing from you!

 
Digital Communications Emphasis
   
 

Dear Parent/Guardian,

As a goal for the 2009-2010 school year the Peninsula School District is attempting to save money by moving many possible communications to a digital method rather than paper. This should help us to reduce administrative costs of paper, printing, and postage. To be successful in this endeavor, we need to make sure we have correct email addresses for all students/parents. Please review the steps below for updating your student's contact email address.
