Dear Parents,
It’s SPIRIT WEEK at St. Peter’s School--a special week where we can celebrate our unity and school pride! As parents, some ways we can show school spirit are by supporting our children as they learn new things at school and guiding them to have open hearts and open minds. As we take part in this fun week recognizing the different ways we can show our school spirit, let us take time to pray as a community to the HOLY SPIRIT for guidance and strength, especially in these final weeks of school.
COME, HOLY SPIRIT,
And fill our hearts with your gifts.
Let our love be true and our charity be generous.
Help us in all our needs
and grant us the knowledge to do what is right.
Advise us in our doubts,
strengthen us in our weaknesses,
protect us when we are tempted,
and console us when we are afraid.
Graciously hear us, O Holy Spirit, and pour your light into our hearts, minds, and souls.
Guide us to live holy lives and to grow in goodness and grace.
AMEN.
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez

IN-PERSON LEARNING FOR 2021-2022
Last week, the 2021-2022 school calendar was sent home and shared on Class Dojo, along with a notice was sent home informing families that for the 2021-2022 school year, it is the plan of St. Peter’s School that all students--absent a legitimate, documented need for isolation--will return to full-time, five days per week, in-person instruction, commencing in August 2021. We realize that the pandemic has not come to an end, and we will continue to follow infection mitigation protocols, such as staggered morning intake and afternoon dismissal, separation of cohorts, and proper daily mask-wearing. We depend on a partnership between home and school in order for infection mitigation protocols to be followed consistently.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school office as soon as possible. Your continued support is appreciated as we move forward into the next school year.
RE-REGISTRATION PAYMENT FOR 2021-2022
The 2021-2022 YELLOW re-registration form is now past due, but you may still submit it to the office by dropping it off, mailing it in, or e-mailing a scanned copy to info@sanpedro.org.
Also--the per-student re-registration payment is now due. This non-refundable payment will secure your child's spot at St. Peter’s School for the 2021-2022 school year. This year, each student is receiving a one-time pandemic assistance amount of $125, reducing the re-registration payment from $475 to $350 per student. You may submit a cash or check payment in the office, call the office to pay by credit/debit card, or pay via Venmo using @SPeters-School and remember to write your child’s name and “Registration Payment” in the comments section.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office. Thank you!

SCHOOL UNIFORM
Though we are approaching the end of the school year, we want to continue to UNITE and follow the uniform policy.
- Students in school are to wear the white polo shirt with the uniform sweatshirt, and either the uniform skirt or Navy khakis (not stretch pants or dark jeans).
- Girls may wear solid black or white tights under their skirts.
- Uniform shoes are SOLID black or white tennis shoes/rubber-soled shoes.
- The Gray Aztecs sweats (hoodie, t-shirt, and sweatpants) may be worn on Fridays. Plain gray sweats are not uniform sweats, and that is considered free dress attire.
If you have any questions regarding the uniform, please contact the school office.
