Hi,

I'm hoping to get information from families with kids going to Peninsula Elementary (8125 N. Emerald). My son will start Kindergarten in the fall. Some questions:

What has your child's Kindergarten experience been like there?

What's your take on the principal/school leadership? Parent involvement?

Since there is no afterschool care program for Kindergartners, are there any recommendations that include transportation (and is a reasonably nearby)?

Previous posts about Peninsula seem to be a few years old, so any thoughts about recent experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Kate

Our daughter will be entering kindergarten next fall and we are planning to send her to Peninsula School, our neighborhood public K-8.  We'd love to hear anything anyone has to say about Peninsula, especially the kindergarten teachers.
