As you go through your child’s Back to School registration online packet, we are appreciative of you remembering Peninsula Education Foundation. We are so fortunate to live in a community where everyone values an excellent education for our children. So many parents choose to donate to PEF and support our children during registration time and we are grateful!
PVPUSD schools are consistently highly rated, but yet we have one of the lowest funded districts in the state. With your help, we can bridge the funding gap between what our district receives and what it costs to provide an exceptional education.
If you already donated to PEF this 2022-23 school year, thank you! If not, please consider supporting our students and schools by clicking HERE.
