Dear Penngrove Families,
Your children rock! That's all! :)
We love spending our days with them at 365 Adobe Road.
I am so impressed at how much they have grown and learned over the past few months while I've been gone. As always, I hope you know what a gift it is that you share your precious children with us.
We are definitely missing the bustling hallways with parent volunteers, the millions of family fun nights, the crisp morning gatherings at Penngrove in Motion and our Wednesday assemblies. We thrive on those community vibes! We are hopeful that we'll have more and more opportunities to connect in the coming months.
All my best,
Amy
SPORTS DAY TOMORROW!
THANK YOU and....have you completed the Youth Truth family survey?
WOAH! So many of you have completed the Youth Truth parent survey! THANK YOU SO MUCH! We look forward to reviewing the data collected so we can continue making our community proud and make adjustments where needed. Forgot to take the survey? No worries!
Here's the link to the parent survey.
What is Youth Truth?
We believe, and research shows that student and stakeholder voices matter. We equip education leaders to integrate these on-the-ground insights into planning, professional development, and improvement processes. What would your school system look like if the unique perspectives of your students, families, and staff were central to decision-making? You'd likely see a happier, healthier, school system on the path to higher academic achievement.

PCS Kickball League
Students will have the opportunity to participate in our first PCS elementary kickball league! Students do not need to have previous experience in order to participate. Schools will practice and scrimmage at their school site from March 1st - April 28th and then participate in a final tournament with all PCS schools on April 30th as a culminating event. Practices will be held directly after school at the school sites. We are hoping to form multiple teams at each school and then group students by grade level. 1st-3rd will practice on Tuesdays, while TK/K and 4th-6th will practice on Thursdays. We are excited to bring our community together by coaching students in a team-building sport and giving them an opportunity to play schools across the district!
To sign your student(s) up, fill out the Kickball League Registration Form and the Kickball Liability Waiver for each student you wish to register. You can download a copy of the Kickball Liability Waiver online or pick one up from your school office. Please return all waiver forms to Gina Roberts at groberts@petk12.org or return it to your school office along with a $40 suggested donation, checks should be made out to Petaluma City Schools.
