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. Now, they are ready to take on their next steps in high school!
Let us 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. 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.
WAY TO GO CLASS OF 2024!!! We are so proud of you!
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez

On Fridays (unless there is a church service), students may wear the optional gray Aztecs hoodie, Aztecs sweatpants, and Aztecs T-shirt.

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.
