Recess/Playground Snow Policy
The students must have snow boots if they want to walk around and play on the snow-covered areas of the playground during recess. Also, as long as the outside temperature is above 31 degrees, we will be outside, so please make sure your child has the appropriate outdoor clothing. Thank you! Teacherease
Teacherease (www.teacherease.com) is the main parent resource to access grades, digital communication, assignments, and the calendar of events. If you have not yet logged into Teacherease this school year, you will be receiving another "welcome letter" from the system to get you started. Please familiarize yourself with this platform. Middle school students are also encouraged to access their information through their parents. Please contact the office if you have any issues. Preschool parents: You can use Teacherease primarily for accessing documents that are posted to the Digital Locker by Carol Burns. Click on Communicate, then Digital Locker.

There are no black out dates or other restrictions! PROMO CODE: SCHOOL and St. Peter ID: SPCS51. Please share this with your friends and family, too! Cell phone policy
If a student needs a cell phone after school due to walking home from school, entering a house where no one is home, or attending sport practices or games, he/she is required to bring the cell phone to the office upon arrival in the morning to park the cell phone in the off position for the day. The cell phone may be picked up by the student at dismissal. At no time during the day should a cell phone be in a student's locker or in his/her possession. The administration reserves the right to search the contents of a confiscated cell phone. Parents are required to fill out a "Request for Permission to Bring a Cell Phone and/or other Two-Way Communication Device to School" form for approval. Uniform reminders for 2019-2020

The SAC meets once per month and sponsors the following events during the year: The Cultural Night in September The Trunk or Treat Night in October A Bingo Night with the Knights of Columbus Spaghetti Dinner The Open House in January If you are interested in serving on the council, please contact Sheila Whalen. Home and School Association (H&SA)
The Home and School Association is comprised of parent volunteers who are voted into these positions. We have a President, two VP's of fundraising, a VP of hospitality, secretary and treasurer. The term is for two years and we will have all positions opening for the 2019-2020 school year. The H&SA coordinates several fundraising events throughout the school year such as the Holiday Boutique, the Glow Run, a raffle and Spirit Nights. We also fund and/or coordinate other school events: Mother/Son Game Night, Father/Daughter Game Night/Dance, Teacher Appreciation Week, Back to School Party, food for conferences and the Science Fair, Field Day, Gala Sponsorship, and teacher reimbursements. We are always looking for parent volunteers throughout the year. It takes a lot to coordinate and run all of these events. Plus, it is fun!! If you are interested in helping with any of these events, we always send out notices looking for volunteers prior to each event. You can also email Steph Welker. |
