Principal's Message:
Dear St. Peter Family,
Welcome Back! The 2022-2023 school year has officially begun, and we could not be more excited for what the year will bring! We have had a wonderful first week. The students have come in prepared and have fallen right back into the routine of learning. Thank you for all the support you provide from home. It really helps make stepping into a new school year a seamless transition for our students and their teachers! I also want to sincerely thank you, parents, for the support and respect you have shown for our new policies and our existing procedures. Your patience with the uniform situation and compliance with the new guidelines has been great. Also, I cannot thank you all enough for how smoothly both morning drop-off and evening dismissal have gone each day. These might seem like minor details, but when it all runs so smoothly, it makes each day a piece of cake! One of St. Peter's biggest assets is our strong sense of community. Together, administration, faculty, staff, students, and families make this the very best school for our children to grow and learn. We are so happy to have you here. Have a great weekend, and we will see you Monday!
St. Peter, friend of Jesus,
PRAY FOR US!
Mrs. Kadel

The Catholic Church dedicates the month of August to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is a dogma of the Catholic faith that Mary is the Immaculate Conception; that is, in preparation for the Incarnation, Jesus, Mary was conceived without Original Sin. Over the centuries, saints and theologians have studied Mary and reflected on how she pondered and treasured the sacred events of her Son's life in her holy heart. Her pure heart has always been recognized as something to be imitated. In the 17th century, May's Immaculate Heart was promoted to be placed at the side of Jesus' Sacred Heart because Mary is so special. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, Pray for Us! |  | As you are aware, we have made some changes to our uniform policy this year. Although shirts must now be purchased through the uniform company, parents can purchase shorts and pants anywhere, as long as they meet our criteria. We are having some minor issues with many of our girls' pants. Jeggings/leggings are not acceptable. Girls' pants must be traditional uniform style; they cannot be knit, and they need to have slant pockets on the front sides of the pants. Thank you for your attention to this detail. UPDATE: Education Apparel has received the girls' shirts and will be delivering them early next week! We will send those home with the students when they arrive. Thank you for your patience! | School Arrival and Departure | |
Drop-off and pick-up are running smoothly! Here are just a few reminders that need to be followed beginning Monday, August 22nd:
- With our shift to securing our school building, parents may not enter the school building with their student. I will be at the Family Life Center Doors to greet our students. If parents need to reach the office, please drive to the front and ring the bell. The office will allow you in!
- Parents may not drop students off at the front of school in the morning. This is also a safety precaution. Our busses pull in and out quickly, and they are not expecting students to be getting out of cars or walking along the drive, as they expect our car riders to be in the back of school.
- Below are the maps for morning and afternoon traffic for your reference.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience with each other and the lines. It will get quicker as the kids get used to the routine!

COVID Guidelines for the 2022-2023 School Year
With vaccines readily available for children and adults of all ages, and with what we pray is the worst of COVID behind us, below is the policy we will adhere to this year. Per recommendations from the CDC, if a teacher or student tests positive for COVID, he/she should stay out of school for five days. Teachers and students alike may return on day six, if they have been fever-free for 24 hours without medication, and symptoms have improved. The CDC recommends that a mask be worn for days 6-10 upon returning.
There will be no contact tracing or quarantine for close contact in or out of school. It is not necessary for students to quarantine if a family member or close contact has tested positive.
