Perris Elementary School -

🎉 Upgrades That Put Students First This summer, PESD made important upgrades across our campuses to ensure every student feels safe, welcome, and included. ✨ New shade structures, walking paths, and fresh paint create inviting spaces. ✨ Privacy fencing and solar-reduction asphalt keep our schools safe and cool. ✨ Innovative Horizons now has a new gym audio system for assemblies and performances. ✨ At Enchanted Hills, construction is underway on an ADA-compliant ramp and retaining wall so all students can safely enjoy outdoor play. These improvements reflect what our families and schools told us they needed most: safe, welcoming campuses where Everybody Belongs, Everybody Succeeds, Everybody Leads. 🌟 #PerrisPromise #EverybodyBelongs #PESD

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the All Kids Bike program that occurred on September 5 at Good Hope elementary school in partnership with Yamaha. Our entire kindergarten class will be participating in this exciting program learning how to ride a bike safely and confidently this is about fun and building a foundation for lifelong skills and growth. Learning to ride a bike at this age offers incredible benefits in their physical development by enhancing balance, coordination, and core strength, and their cognitive growth by improving focus, patience, and problem-solving skills, benefiting their social emotional awareness and fostering a I can do it attitude, boosting independence, and building confidence. Safety awareness is of the utmost importance and students will learn about protective gear and following rules. This program will instill lifelong skills with the love for riding through exploration as a healthy activity that lasts a lifetime. Every year, our Good Hope kindergarten students will embark on this amazing opportunity. #GoodHopeElementary #AllKidsBike #Kindergarten #LearnToRide #CommunityLove #BikeLife #PESD #EveryoneSucceeds.
