We, the faculty of Saint Peter Catholic School, are committed to providing our students with an education that reflects our values as Christians. Recognizing the uniqueness of each person, we believe a child is spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially endowed with the ability to reason and reflect upon himself or herself.
Each child is encouraged to involve himself or herself in the learning process that will foster individual growth in these areas. Because we believe this, we, as a dedicated faculty, will strive to create an atmosphere for learning.
Our parents and guardians are the primary educators of our students, and we recognize the importance of a mutual working relationship among parents, guardians, faculty and administration.
The Governor's Fiscal Year 2019 Budget does not increase funding for nonpublic school programs. This stagnation impacts the health and safety of our students in these areas:
Nonpublic School Transportation
Nursing Services
Compensatory Education (Basic skills instruction special services for students at academic risk)

Flat funding directly affects our children and means that we will have to do even more with less or go without next year. Please keep in mind:
We are still trying to recover from the 17 year freeze in transportation aid and the hardships that has caused families in getting their children to school.
Nurses are first responders for emergencies. Their duties have increased especially for dispensing life saving medications to students.
Aid for compensatory education (basic skills for children at academic risk) has not been increased in 10 years, leading to cuts in instructional time and larger groups.

Our Mission We, who serve as educators at Saint Peter School, celebrate the diversity, value and goodness of all we serve. We are called to be followers of Jesus, our Teacher and Servant, and challenged to continue His mission using the Gospel values as our lesson plans for life. We strive to accomplish this by ensuring an atmosphere of loving care and fostering an
understanding of our Christian faith to assist all in recognizing their gifts for service to the Church, the family and the community. Proclaiming and fostering the Gospel values in all academic, social and athletic activities will prepare all to become productive members of our community.
