 Sick Child Guidelines
I want to thank everyone who has been very diligent in keeping their children home who are not feeling well. Below I have listed some of our expectations in terms of illness, testing, and quarantine. Please know that these are in place to help keep everyone healthy and to allow the school to remain open. We understand that children get sick, but we must also follow the recommendations from our local health department as well as the Department of Public Instruction. There are many free testing options available and we would be happy to help you locate them if needed.
 

• If your child has a fever of 100.4 or higher for longer than 48 hours, you must either get your child tested for Covid, or isolate for 10 days.
• If your child misses 3 consecutive days of school with Covid-like symptoms, you must get your child tested for Covid, or isolate for 10 days.
• If your child has knowingly been exposed to a Covid positive person, your child must quarantine for 14 days
• Should your child test positive for Covid, they must quarantine for 10 days and be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school

   
Catholic Soles Walk
Every year the Archdiocese of Milwaukee hosts a walk for all of the Catholic Schools to participate in. In prior years we did not attend due to the location of the walk and the distance it was from our community. However, this year they have decided to take the walk virtual! St. Peter's School has received permission to do our own walk in our community on that day! Therefore we are pleased to invite you to join St. Peter's Catholic Soles Walk on Saturday October 17th beginning at 10am in our parking lot! Please register using the link below! All donations received will be matched $1 for $1 by this years Soles Walk sponsors, up to $5000. The classroom that earns the most donations will also receive a pizza party! Register and donate today using the link below.    Catholic Soles Walk
 
Tie Dye
We did have some students out of school yesterday and therefore decided to reschedule the tie dying for next week. We are going to try to do it on a day where everyone is here so that all the students can enjoy the activity.
 
 
Picture Day
Picture day is scheduled for Monday October 5th. Order forms were sent home in red folders and contain more information about picture packages that are available. If you need another form for any reason please reach out to the school office or your child's teacher.
 
 
Drop Off
Our morning drop off has been working well and we are grateful to everyone for being flexible with the new routine. Please be aware that we are taking temperatures and welcoming kids in the back parking lot from 7:30-7:45am. Should you arrive after 7:45am, we ask that you drop your child off at the front doors so that they can be buzzed in by the office. Our doors automatically lock in the morning so students do not have access through the back doors after 7:45am.
 
Uniform Shirt Orders
This is the last call for uniform shirt orders. Your orders must be placed by Saturday October 3rd. I have attached the order form below for you to view the options and also place the order. This is the last time you will have the option to buy uniform shirts this year, so if your child will need a long sleeve uniform shirt for winter, please buy it now.  Uniform Orders
