July Update
7-14-2021
A few things....
Hello Families!
I hope you are each enjoying your summer and doing some fun and relaxing things with your kiddos! I cannot believe we are already in the middle of July! Which means that the beginning of another amazing school year is just around the corner.
I wanted to send out a few little reminders and information about upcoming registration, Kindergarten preview day, and back to school things.
Below you will find some helpful info on all of those topics. Please also remember to check the district website, and watch for those emails as well.
Click here to read our District Newsletter - containing information about enrollment.
I hope you enjoy your last month of summer, and I can't wait to see our students back in the hallways again! If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out through email, or give us a call at school after the 26th of July.

2. Save a Utility Bill:
When you register student(s) for the 2021-2022 school year, you must provide one document to verify residency.
Acceptable proofs of residency include utility bills (water, electric or gas), in the resident's name, showing the service address. Save a document now to prepare for the July registration process.
3. Registration information
Most families can complete the required registration forms totally online. Those families will not need to attend an in-person registration event. Watch for an email in the next week or so with instructions to complete the registration forms and submit proof of residency online.
In-person registration will be available for families who don't have computer access, who would like assistance, who need documents notarized, or those with special circumstances. This will be held at South Middle School on July 29 and August 3.

PTA INFORMATION
We invite all families to join the Peculiar PTA as members of our school community. Joining the PTA does not obligate you any job, but gives you the opportunity to contribute and vote on decisions for our school family. PTA membership is $10 per family.
Please click the link below to complete the membership form: PTA Membership Form
Our PTA also compiles a school directory to be distributed to only families in our building. Peculiar Elementary can not distribute personal communication between families, so the PTA provides contact information for the families. Each family may provide as much or little contact information as they choose.
Please complete the directory form to show what, if any information may be shared. PTA Directory Information
