Dear Parents,
As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, I want to say Thank You for being part of the St. Peter’s School family! I am proud to be part of our community as we continue to teach our children to live out and celebrate our core values to grow, accomplish, love, serve, and unite.
While we are thankful for all our blessings—like our families, our friends, and our homes, to name a few—let us also remember to pray for those who are in need and who are facing particularly difficult challenges during this holiday time. Together, let us offer this prayer (written by “Anonymous”):
O Heavenly Father:
We thank You for food and remember the hungry.
We thank You for health and remember the sick.
We thank You for friends and remember the friendless.
We thank You for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service,
That Your gifts to us may be used for others. AMEN.
During this holiday season, let us not forget that we will soon be entering into a new church–or liturgical–season… the season of ADVENT! As this liturgical season approaches, begin thinking of ways that you and your child can prepare your hearts for the coming of Jesus at Christmas time!
Have a blessed, happy Thanksgiving!
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez
THANKSGIVING BREAK
There is NO SCHOOL Wednesday-Friday, November 27-29, for the Thanksgiving break.
After the Thanksgiving break, we enter the liturgical season of Advent on Sunday, December 1! During this season, we prepare for the joyous birth of Jesus Christ.
School will resume on Monday, December 2 with a regular schedule.
TRIMESTER 2
We are now in our Second Trimester of the school year. REPORT CARDS for Trimester 1 will be going home with students on Monday, December 2, when we return from the Thanksgiving break. Also going home with the Report Cards are your child’s latest STAR Test results.
Please review the report card and STAR results, sign the report card, and return it to your child’s teacher by Friday, December 6. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher.
FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT
Only a few Fridays remain until our SECOND Family Movie Night of the 2024-2025 school year...SAVE THE DATE for December 13, 2024 at 6:30 PM.
Admission is $4 for students, and $6 for adults and children 4 and older. Snacks will be sold for $1-$6.
Beginning Monday, December 2, you will be able to pre-order your tickets and food for the big night. Pick up pre-order forms and donation forms from the school office starting Monday, December 2 OR wait for the forms to come that day.
Limited quantities of tickets will be sold for our family movie night! Order your tickets before they sell out!
As always, thank you for supporting our growing sports program!
GO AZTECS!
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!
