Principal's Message:
Dear St. Peter Family,
The first full week of school is done! The school year picked up this week with the launch of our PTO fundraiser and our first school Mass. Spelling tests were happening all over today, and all students have been STAR tested so we can monitor improvement throughout the school year. Today, our students spent some much needed quiet time in Adoration. The start of the school year is hectic for all of us, especially our students and teachers, so some quiet time with Jesus was just what we needed! I am so proud of our school and our school family. Thank you for the outstanding support with new policies, new routines, new classrooms, new teachers, and all the rest. Our school is a special place to be...thank you for being a part of our St. Peter Family. Have a great weekend, and we will see you on Monday!
St. Peter, friend of Jesus,
PRAY FOR US!
Mrs. Kadel

- Wednesday, September 7th: Grandparents' Day Mass 9AM

IMPORTANT!
Car Rider Reminders
Car riders may not be dropped off in front of school in the mornings. This is a safety issue, and we need cooperation from everyone, please. Additionally, unless a student has a sibling in the ECC, St. Peter School students may not exit out the ECC doors for dismissal. This is a major security concern for the ECC. Parents are welcome to park across the street at the end of the day as an alternative to the back lot. Just send a note to the office, and we will have our security guards safely cross students to your car.

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.

Faith Moment
The Memorare
| |
This school year we are learning a new prayer, the Memorare. The Memorare is a prayer that reminds us that we have a wonderful advocate and protector in the mother of our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary. In our prayers to her, we honor and worship her Son, who is more than happy to listen to His mother's pleas on our behalf. The Memorare invites us to ask the Blessed Mother for her assistance and her grace, especially when we feel most troubled.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
|  | WOW!! Thank you parents for making sure your students arrive at school early each day. Our tardies have never looked better! Our school day officially begins at 8:45, so making sure students are here by 8:40 truly starts the day off correctly for everyone! Remember, if a student has 3 unexcused tardies in a month, the student will serve a Monday detention with Mrs. Kadel. Thank you for your support from home! | Father Hale celebrated our first school Mass of the year with us on Wednesday. He told us to remember three important things: 1. Jesus loves every single one of us; 2. Jesus sees us all the time and he sees all the good things we do; and 3. Jesus is calling us to do something special. Father Hale blessed rosaries for our classroom doors at the end of Mass. It was so nice to be back together, and we are thrilled to have Father Hale at St. Peter. Please know you are always welcome to join us for Mass on Wednesday mornings at 9:00. | On Wednesday, September 7th, we will celebrate our Grandparents with a Mass at 9:00 AM and a brief snack immediately following in the parking lot in front of the Family Life Center. We hope you can join us! | |
Some of you may be familiar with a popular Catholic app called Hallow. This year, our teachers and 6th-8th grade students have access to this app. For parents of our 6th-8th grade students, please be on the lookout for an email from Hallow. They need parental permission for students to download the app. Again, it is being provided for our students at no charge. For parents and grandparents, Hallow would like to offer a free 90-day trial of the app. The app is full of prayers, novenas, daily Bible readings, and more!
This link hallow.com/stpeterohparents22-23 will also take parents directly to the landing page to set up their account.
