Dear Peterborough Elementary School Families,

Welcome to the start of the 2026-2027 school year! I hope your summer was full of fun, relaxation, and some great memories with your children. There is always so much excitement this time of year, and our team has been working hard to get the classrooms and hallways ready for our students' return.

Our biggest goal every day is to make sure your child feels supported, excited to learn, and safe to try new things. Education isn't just about the curriculum; it’s about getting to know what truly inspires each learner, helping them navigate challenges, and celebrating those awesome "aha!" moments when a tough concept finally clicks.

We also know we can’t do this alone. You know your children best, and we view education as a team effort between our staff and your family. When we stay connected, share updates, and work together, our students are the ones who win. Please know that you can always reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

This handbook includes important information about our school’s policies, procedures, and routines. It’s a helpful resource to guide you through the year ahead. If you have any questions as you review it, please don’t hesitate to contact the main office.

We're looking forward to bringing our school values to life every day, and we can't wait to see all the growth, learning, and fun that this upcoming year will bring. Thank you for being such an important part of our PES community—I am incredibly excited for another successful school year together!

Warmly,

Tammy O’Connor
