Lunch statements have been sent home today for anyone who has a balance of $10 or less.  If you have a negative balance, please send in payment as soon as you're able.  Dont forget - you can submit your payment online!  Make Payments Online

Please remember to contact the school office if your child will be late or absent from school.  We cannot make absences excused if we have not heard from you.

Each year, the PTO collects money for the teachers to receive gift cards. This allows the teachers to get a little bigger gift and alleviates the necessity for all families to buy individual gifts. Typically, all staff can get a gift if we raise about $500 from school families. There will be a jar for donations at the cookie table tonight at the play or you can give directly to Tami Bartoli. If you can’t donate tonight, feel free to send your donation to the office marked ”teacher gifts” no later than Monday. 
Thank you for your generosity!

In your red folders this week you will find a parent survey that we are asking all families to take the time to fill out and return to school. This is a very important aspect of our accreditation process that we are going through over the next year. These surveys give us insight into ways that we can improve and grow stronger as a school community and everyone's input matters. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Picture retake day is Monday October 14th at 8am in the morning. Anyone who missed getting their picture taken on Back to School Night or would like retakes is welcome to take their picture on this day. Dress your best!

Conferences are Thursday October 24th from 3-6:30pm. Families with students in grades K4-5th grade will sign up with their classroom teacher for a conference time. Families with students in middle school are welcome to come in anytime between 3-6:30pm to meet with your child's teachers.

This year for Halloween we are asking that all of the students dress up in costumes for all of the wonderful activities that we are going to be participating in throughout the day. There is no mass on Oct. 31st, so students can come dressed in their costumes.  We will be taking the kids to East Troy Manor and The Heritage for Trick or Treating in the morning. In the afternoon 6th grade is going to be hosting a Halloween party in the gym for the whole school!

Fall Fest is fast approaching!  It is on Oct 6th from 11am-5pm and has many exciting events for the whole family! There will be games, a cake walk, rummage sale, and of course an amazing chicken dinner! We are also asking that all school families donate a cake or cupcakes for the cake walk. You can bring in your cakes on Friday, Saturday between 8am-12pm, or Sunday before 11am. Thank you for all your help!

Beginning in October, we will now be offering an ala carte option on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.   The ala carte option will be listed on the lunch calendar, along with the ala carte price.   The ala carte option will change monthly.

There are so many exciting things happening at St. Peter's School this month!  Please make sure to check the calendar daily so you do not miss important events!   Several fun field trips, parties, and a visit from the Fire Department for Fire Safety Week too!

Don't forget to wear church clothes (red polo and khaki/navy/black pants or skirt) for field trips!

We are working on making decorations for fall fest and we are in need of clean soup cans. If you are able to please bring in any washed out soup cans that you may have at your house. These can be turned into the school office.

Just a reminder that you are now able to check your lunch balances in Powerschool. Lunch statements will only be sent home in red folders when the lunch balance is $5.00 or less.
