BIG NEWS: St. Peter Is Growing!
Hey, SPS families! Have you heard? We’re excited to announce that St. Peter School is launching a 3-year-old program in Fall 2027!
We’re in the early stages of planning, and we want to hear from YOU! Would St. Peter School be where your 3-year-old begins their educational journey? We’d love to know what you’re looking for in a program and what would make SPS the right fit for your youngest learner.
Interested in learning more or sharing your thoughts? Reach out to Wendy Burns, Director of
Admissions & Enrollment! wburns@saint-peter-school.org
More exciting details to come!
PROGRESS REPORTS AND FALL MAP SCORES
On Monday, Term 1 Progress Reports and Fall MAP scores will go home sealed in an envelope with students in Grades 1-8.
K2A & K2B will only be receiving their Fall MAP scores.
LOST AND FOUND
Please ask yourr child(ren) to check the Lost and Found if they are missing anything. We ask that parents label jackets, sweaters, lunch boxes with your childs name this way we can return it to them if it gets misplaced.
SPREAD THE SPS LOVE!
Want to help us get the word out about St. Peter School’s Open House on October 24th? We’ve got YARD SIGNS!
If you live on a busy street, have a prime front-yard location, or just really love SPS and want to show it off, we’d love your help spreading the word!
Stop by the school to pick one up, or email Wendy Burns at wburns@saint-peter-school.org and she’ll make sure a sign gets to you.
OPEN HOUSE — SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24th!
St. Peter School will host an OPEN HOUSE for prospective students and families on Saturday, October 24th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM! Help us spread the word!
YOU are our BEST ambassadors! No one can share the St. Peter story quite like our own families. You know what makes SPS special - from outstanding academics and faith-filled learning to our incredible community and commitment to nurturing the heart, mind, and soul of every child.
So, spread the love! Invite friends, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone looking for a school where children can learn, grow, and truly belong. Share the Open House announcement and help us welcome the next generation of St. Peter students.

Parent Skills Survey
At back-to-school night, I provided a link to a new initiative that we are trying this year: the parent skills survey. I'm hoping that those that did not previously fill out this form will be willing to do so now. It takes about 5 minutes to complete. This form is intended to collect information about what you can do and when you might be free to help; this will help us to ask directly, rather than send mass-emails. Please know that checking a box is not a commitment! We will not presume your availability.
If you have filled this out already, thank you! We will begin reaching out soon!
HOW WE USE THIS: The Parents' Association and the school office use these answers to match requests to the right people and to identify employers who match charitable gifts. We do not share this information.
N.B: Please fill this out for yourself rather than for your household. Two parents have two sets of skills and two employers, and we would like to hear from both.
N.B.: In some cases, this information is duplicative with information on FACTS, we intend to roll this form into re-enrollment at the end of this school year, so hopefully we won't have to do this twice!
Lunch Price Adjustment for 26-27 School Year
Please be aware that lunch prices have been adjusted for the 26-27 school year. A regular school lunch is now $8.25 per large, $7.25 per small lunch. This price will be reflected in the cost of lunch charges this school year.
