Peninsula Preschool is putting the question to parents: are you ready for us to reopen? Located in the basement of the Village of Ephraim Administrative Center, Peninsula Preschool has been closed since Governor Tony Evers’ shutdown orders in March. The Peninsula School Board has met several times since then as they have weighed their options. The combination of dropping COVID-19 numbers and the reopening of buildings at Gibraltar Area Schools has parents and school officials discussing options again. A lack of airflow in the basement would mean its reopening would be held off until they could hold classes outside. Peninsula Preschool Director Jill Harkaway says there are also other factors they need to consider.

Parents have been sent a survey to answer their thoughts about kids returning to the classroom. Harkaway says the decision rests with its board, which is made up of the school’s parents.
