All school apparel left behind after school is dimissed for the summer will get washed and donated to the uniform closet. All other clothing will be donated to Good Will.
FROM THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE
Limited Openings in K2, Grades 4 and 5
Referrals Welcome!
We’ve been incredibly grateful for the strong interest in St. Peter School over the past few years. This year, seven of our ten grade levels have waitlists—a testament to the joyful, values-based, and academically rigorous environment we strive to provide.
We have a few openings in our rising Kindergarten (K2), Grade 4, and Grade 5 classes. If someone you know is exploring school options for the Fall, now is a great time to connect with us.
Referrals from our current families is our best marketing tool, and we’re so thankful for your continued support in sharing what makes SPS special. The Admissions Office is happy to meet, provide a tour, and answer any questions prospective families may have. Spread the word!
