Attention St. Peter School Families
This is a notice of changes being made to our Return to School policies and guidelines. As has become custom during this time, we are making an adjustment to our policies to meet the ever-changing educational landscape. Per a state-wide directive issued by Governor DeWine requiring all K-12 students in Ohio to wear facial coverings, we have decided to adopt this policy
at St. Peter Catholic School in an effort to further keep our students and staff safe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This decision was made in consultation with the Wyandot County Public Health as well as guidance from the Diocese of Toledo. While we understand this mandate might bring about strong emotions and opinions, we believe it is a policy that is
necessary to ensure our students have the opportunity to continue in-person instruction. Although this policy requires all students to have facial coverings anytime there are transitions throughout the building or close group interactions where social distancing cannot be adequately maintained, students will be allowed to remove their coverings while working individually at their desks and during teacher planned break times. Students will also be allowed to remove facial coverings
during recess, outdoor activities and lessons, PE class, and lunch (once seated). We hope these compromises will both further ensure the safety of our students and staff members as well as keeping our students focused and engaged in the learning process.
We encourage students to bring their own facial coverings, but if you would like additional PPE, St. Peter School can provide masks and/or shields to families who request them. Acceptable facial coverings can include bandanas, masks, neck gaiters, shields, or handkerchiefs. Thank you again for your understanding and continued support through this difficult and uncertain time. We remain committed to ensuring the safety of all of stakeholders and providing a quality educational and spiritual experience. As always, we want to be as transparent as possible during this time so please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you might have.
Stay safe and God Bless.

We'd like to welcome the newest editions to our school! The funding for these safety handrails was provided by a grant from the Ohio Attorney General's Office. The handrails were installed and the labor was donated by CSI Construction. We can't thank them enough for their generosity. Blake England Principal |

Important Information!
Dear Parents/Guardians of St. Peter School students: I hope this letter finds you all healthy and safe as we continue to live through and adjust to this ongoing pandemic. I would like to begin by offering my most sincere gratitude and thanks to all of you for the sacrifices you have made during this time. Words cannot express our appreciation for the support you have shown and the work you have done to ensure that your child(ren) continue to remain engaged and grow both academically and spiritually. Our goal during this unprecedented situation was to provide the needed support and resources to further enrich and challenge our students and we hope that our efforts have been fruitful in that respect. Additionally, we wanted to be as flexible and understanding of the unique circumstances that each family faced during this tough period. As we look forward to the end of the school year, we want to also look to the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. As you are most likely aware, our yearly tuition is scheduled to increase by 10% next year, This is a slightly higher increase compared to previous years. However, as a sign of our appreciation and our understanding of the hardships you have just experienced, we are offering the opportunity to waive this planned tuition increase. We are asking families to commit to their enrollment at St. Peter School for the 2020-2021 school year now to lock into the 2019-2020 tuition rate. In addition, we are still prepared to offer each student tuition assistance from our Tuition Angel Fund this coming school year. Again, we greatly appreciate your continued support and we want to offer this token of our appreciation. If you are interested in this opportunity, we are asking you to indicate this at the bottom of this letter. Please sign and return this portion to the school office prior to the beginning of the school year to ensure your tuition rate for next year. May God continue to shine His blessings on our community, our parish, and our St. Peter School families. Stay safe and stay healthy. Blessings, Blake England Mr. Blake England Principal St. Peter Catholic School ************************************************************************ I ___________________________agree to enroll my child(ren) at St. Peter Catholic School for the 2020-2021 school year at the 2019-2020 tuition schedule, which can be paid in full, by semester, or monthly.
