Dear Parents,
The 8th graders are taking their final steps towards GRADUATION! We proudly share in their accomplishments as we—their families and teachers—have helped them to lay the foundation for their future. When we celebrate their graduation, don’t forget to celebrate us as a whole school community as well!
The Class of 2020 is making history as our first class to have a virtual graduation this Friday, followed by personal diploma distributions on Saturday. Stay tuned on Class Dojo for photos of this celebration!
Though we are not all able to be together to celebrate our 8th graders, together we can offer this prayer for our soon-to-be graduates:
Loving God, we thank you for our graduates. You have
blessed them during their years at St. Peter’s School with
wisdom, friendships, and skills. Continue to challenge
them to make this world a better place because of their
education. Help them to look forward to their next steps in
high school. Give them faith and a sense of purpose in
their next steps. Show them how to serve others in
effective ways. May they be aware in everything they do
that they find fulfillment in doing your will, that you will
be with them always, and that you will bring to
completion the good work you have begun in them.
AMEN.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU, CLASS OF 2020! We are so proud of you!
Take care and stay safe!
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez
DISTANCE LEARNING
This Friday (June 5) is the last day of Zoom classes. Teachers may ask students to join in Zoom sessions next week, for some additional fun end-of-year activities. Please check your teacher’s Class Dojo updates for any special instructions.
Next week (June 8-11), teachers will post elective activities, such as art projects. We encourage students to also continue to work on their goals on online programs (such as Lexia, ReadWorks, RAZ Kids, STMath, Mathletics, and Khan Academy) next week and throughout the summer, for their Summer Learning Goals.
END-OF-YEAR DROP-OFFS & PICK-UPS
Next week, we will be conducting the process of dropping off borrowed school materials and picking up end-of-year documents and personal items in the classrooms.
Below, see the date and time for your family’s pick-up/drop-off date and time, according to last names. If you’re not able to come to school at your specified time, contact your child’s teacher to make alternate arrangements. Please see the letter (posted on Class Dojo on June 2) for more details!

CHROMEBOOKS
If your child borrowed a school Chromebook for Distance Learning, please return the Chromebook to the elementary science lab during your specified drop-off/pick-up time. If you are returning in the Fall and would like to borrow the Chromebook over the summer so your child can continue progress through the assigned online programs, please stop by the elementary science lab to complete a Chromebook extension form.
DISTANCE LEARNING REFLECTIONS / SURVEYS
Each teacher has shared a link to a Distance Learning reflection survey. For grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade, there is a single survey that both parents and students can complete together. For grades 4 through 8, there are separate surveys: one for parents to complete, and one for student to complete. Please help us learn and grow from our Distance Learning experience by completing these reflection surveys. Thank you!
BVCC UPDATE
New guidelines were posted allowing summer programs to be held in San Francisco. BVCC will host a small, modified summer program at St. Peter’s School, from June 22-July 31. For more information, please contact Rochelle at rochelle.bvcc@gmail.com or call 415-713-0625.
