Dear Parents,
This Friday marks the end of our first Trimester, and the students have grown in many ways! The teachers and I value our partnership with you, so that we can work together to help all students grow and meet their goals. To help refresh your memory as we enter into the second trimester, and because these are an important part of our school culture, I am re-sharing the St. Peter’s Schoolwide Learning Expectations, also known as “SLEs.” These expectations can extend into the home to help students live out our CORE VALUES to Grow, Accomplish, Love, Serve, and Unite!
A St. Peter’s student has the KEYS to…
GROW by...
- setting and evaluating individual goals to grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, academically, and physically.
- embracing new experiences with an open heart and open mind.
- facing challenges with optimism and faith in God.
ACCOMPLISH by...
- listening and communicating effectively in social and academic environments.
- demonstrating critical thinking skills and knowledge in all subject areas.
- using technology effectively and responsibly.
LOVE by…
- making choices based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
- nurturing a spiritual life through prayer, retreats, masses, and the sacraments.
- demonstrating an appreciation for what others have done for us.
SERVE by…
- living out the corporal and spiritual Works of Mercy.
- sharing time, gifts, and joy with the school community.
- participating in outreach to strengthen ties with those outside of our school community.
UNITE by…
- engaging in weekly school Mass and morning prayer assemblies.
- supporting and encouraging others in order to strengthen school community.
- welcoming people of all backgrounds as St. Peter’s community members.
Thank you for your support during this first Trimester. Now, on to Trimester 2!
– Mrs. Sandra Jimenez
