I hope everyone enjoyed a restful and relaxing break. It was well deserved for all of us after working so hard this year.
We have jumped right back into learning and are getting into the groove to finish the year strong.

📅 Looking Ahead to Next Year
Our calendar for the 2026–2027 school year is currently awaiting diocesan approval. We are excited about some positive changes we’ve proposed, including a full week off for Thanksgiving and finishing the school year before Memorial Day. We believe these adjustments will help everyone return from breaks feeling refreshed and ready to learn.
🏫 State of the School Recap
As we prepare to enter March, here are a few highlights from the State of the School meeting for those who were unable to attend:
- We are expanding to two kindergarten and two second‑grade classrooms next year.

- We have several upcoming openings for the 2026–2027 school year, including:

If you know someone who would be a great fit for St. Peter’s and is passionate about serving our students, please encourage them to send me their résumé. We are confident we will find wonderful educators who will help our school continue to thrive.
God Bless!
