Welcome to Key Peninsula Middle School
Mission Statement
Key Peninsula Middle School is a learning community where parents, staff and students come together to fulfill a common purpose: student growth in academics, the cultivation of personal strengths and talents, and the development of individual responsibilities. Our goal is for students to become self-directed learners. Key Peninsula is a mutually supportive environment where the recognition of differences and the respect for the rights of others are paramount.

What is Read Across America?
Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading! A program from the National Education Association, the celebration is held year-round and is highlighted annually in March. The program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and resources.
At PSD, we want to invite our students, families, staff and community to celebrate reading as a part of Peninsula Reads and the 1 Million Minutes Read Challenge!
What is Peninsula Read and the 1 Million Minutes Read Challenge?
PSD knows reading leads to lifelong success, which is why our goal is to have 100% of third grade students reading proficiently by 2026. And we need YOU to reach this goal!
As part of our Peninsula Reads program, PSD partnered with Pen Light to challenge everyone to collectively read 1 million minutes by the last day of school, June 21, 2023.
Participants can log minutes online at https://bit.ly/1MillionMinsPSD. Reading minutes can include books, magazines, articles, websites, the cereal box, instruction guides, signs, or anything that requires reading!
Join us in celebrating reading today and everyday!

The Peninsula School District, in partnership with Tom Taylor YMCA and Resurrection Church, invites families to attend “Parents’ Tech Night” from 6 - 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 23.
This free event, hosted at Tom Taylor YMCA, will help equip parents with resources to help their kids engage with technology in healthy, helpful ways. There will be information and discussion about safe use of smartphones, online videos, and more!
This week, PSD is celebrating our Education Support Professionals. These incredible people work across the district in schools and departments to support the day-to-day functions and provide necessary support for our educators.
Education Support Professionals include our wonderful paraeducators, human resources, payroll, capital projects, purchasing, and business services staff.
You can join us in the celebration! Say thank you to your school’s Education Support Professionals who work for #EveryChildEveryDay.
