Dear Parents,
As we approach the conclusion of the first month of school, I am reminded of our KEY “Knowledge feeds GROWTH.” This was a time when we adjusted to a new classroom, got to know teachers and classmates, and learned how to collaborate with others. Think about how your child has grown so far (academically, socially, and spiritually) since the first day of school. The knowledge they have gained will help to feed their mind and spirit, but they should not stop there. We’ve only just begun! Together, let us guide them to use that knowledge to take action to better themselves, to positively guide others, and to improve their communities. And when they take action, they can understand that “Every ACCOMPLISHMENT needs courage”—another one of our KEYS! Together, let’s keep our growth mindset going strong as this first month of school draws to a close.
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez

For school yearbook and school ID purposes, ALL students will be taking school pictures. However, purchasing your child’s photos is optional. If you choose to buy school pictures, you can purchase your child’s school photos online at https://my.lifetouch.com/mylifetouch/ - / and enter our picture day ID – EVTCH37VS
You can also submit payment with the Lifetouch order form that was sent home with your child. If you are paying with this order form, the form plus the payment must be submitted at the time that your child takes a school photo.
CALENDAR REMINDERS

There is also no school on Monday, October 9 in honor of Indigenous People’s Day.
School will resume on Tuesday October 10 with a regular schedule.
SPECIAL SURVEY
A FAMILY INCOME SURVEY has been sent home with the oldest child in each family. These surveys help our school participate in the Title I, Part A Federal Program. This very important program provides extra academic and social-emotional support for our students. Please complete the survey and return it to your child’s teacher by the September 28 due date. Thank you for your support and cooperation!
SAINT PETER’S ATHLETICS
The boys’ soccer and girls’ volleyball seasons are officially underway! Come support our teams by cheering them on at their games. Visit the CYO Athletics website to see game schedules: https://athletics.cccyo.org/schedules
GO AZTECS!!!
DROP-OFF ZONES
When dropping off or picking up your child/children, please do not park or leave your car unattended in the white zone or in the schoolyard driveway. These areas must remain open to help ease the flow of traffic and must be available in case of emergencies. Thank you for your cooperation!
SCHOOL UNIFORMS
We live our core value to UNITE as students wear their school uniform with pride. Please remember that the complete daily uniform includes the plain white polo shirt, navy slacks or uniform skirt/jumper, green uniform sweatshirt, black or white socks, and solid black or solid white sneakers (tennis shoes).
On Fridays (unless there is a church service), students may wear the optional gray Aztecs hoodie, Aztecs sweatpants, and Aztecs T-shirt.
** To purchase the gray Aztecs sweats, obtain an order form in the school office.
For more details on the school uniform, refer to the Uniform section of the Parent-Student Handbook that was distributed on the first day of school, which is also available on the school website: http://www.stpeterssf.org/parents-students
Students who are out of uniform will receive a “Uniform Notice” to be signed by a parent or guardian, as a reminder about the uniform policy, and to help us unite as a school community!
