Dear St. Peter Community,

Greetings from Sturgeon Bay in Wisconsin!  I love seeing some of the big ships I remember in the Puget Sound as a child.

I know we are all thinking about school and how we will open and operate this August. We are all concerned about the Virus and the well-being of everyone in our community.  

I want to assure you that we are continually monitoring this situation and all the details that go with it.  We are consulting with our team, including the medical people that are advising us.  We are watching the guidance from the county health department and what all the other public and private schools are doing in our area.

This Monday we will send out our more detailed Coronavirus Operations Plan.  Feel free to review it.  The link for the Zoom meetings next Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00 p.m. will be sent to all parents early next week.  Parents may log into the Zoom meeting and will be muted.  You can also turn off the video.  Please submit your questions via the "Chat" tool.

We are praying for all of you and ask for you to continue to pray for everyone in our community.  I am grateful for your support, patience and unity.

As outlined in the School Reopening Plan, all students will be required to wear face masks when entering the building. Here are a few guidelines to consider when purchasing masks for your student(s)

Here is a local company that makes masks in kids sizes with lots of color options and pretty quick delivery... https://germlessproducts.com/
