Marguerite E. Peaslee Elementary School
A Vibrant Student Centered Learning Community

Dear Peaslee Families,


Thank you for the incredible kindness, generosity, and thoughtfulness you showed during Staff Appreciation Week. The outpouring of love and gratitude we felt throughout the week was truly meaningful to every member of our staff. From the delicious luncheon and treats in the staff room to the bundt cakes, lottery tickets, and beautiful flowers, we are sincerely grateful for every thoughtful gesture.

Your generosity and support remind us how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring and connected school community. Your partnership and encouragement mean so much to us, and they inspire us as we continue to support, teach, and celebrate your children each day.

Thank you for making us feel so valued and appreciated. We are grateful for all you do to make our school such a special place.

With gratitude,
The Peaslee School Staff

NO TOYS PLEASE!

Please have your child leave toys at home. While fun to bring, toys can quickly become a distraction during learning time, may get lost or accidentally traded, and can sometimes lead to hurt feelings between friends. Keeping toys at home helps us stay focused and ensures everyone can make the most of their learning day. Thank you for your support and understanding!

PLANNING FOR 2026-27

We value the additional insights parents can provide about their child's unique qualities and preferences in the class placement process. Fill out the Placement Input Form by May 11th to share information about your child. Include details about your child's interests, concerns, and preferred learning environment. Avoid requesting specific teachers or identifying other students in your feedback

Reach out to directly to me with any questions about the form or placement process.

We appreciate your cooperation in making the student placement process fair and beneficial for all students.

Stay tuned for further communication about the placement timeline in August.
