Daily Schedule
Peralta's school day starts at 8:30am, and ends at 2:45pm on most days. On "Minimum Days", every Wednesday and a few other days through the year, school ends at 1:30pm (with after-care starting earlier); check the school calendar for upcoming Minimum Days. Please do not leave your child at Peralta before 8:20am.
Morning Drop Off
Peralta families who can walk, take transit, bike, or roll to school are encouraged to do so. Bike racks are available inside the locked gates by Portable A. All children who arrive by car should be dropped off at the Dana Street entrance to the school. The drop off zone is staffed by Coach D and student members of safety patrol. Please drive slowly. Please do not double park, not even "just for a minute,” and please do not block the driveways of our Peralta neighbors. See this map and flyer for full instructions. Thinking about transit? Make sure to get your child a youth clipper card, so you can take advantage of the discounted youth and clipper rates! Thinking about using a cargo bike or tag along to ride your child to school? Many Peralta parents do and would love to talk to you about it (just ask) and join the “Biking Friends” social group on Konstella.
School Meals
School meals are FREE for all students. View the weekly menu: OUSD Food Services

After school snack is provided for all students enrolled in the P.E.A.C.E program (it’s listed as supper on the OUSD menu).
