Grade Card Update!!
Dear St. Peter School Super Parents/Guardians:
I hope everyone is “finding their footing” and discovering unique ways to navigate through this ongoing unprecedented situation. We want to again pledge our commitment to ensuring that all of our families are receiving the academic resources and support they need to be successful and appropriately challenged. As you might recall, the end of our third quarter grading period was moved up to Friday, March 13th. This decision was made in response to the mandated school shut down as well as our desire to be flexible in future grading. With that being said, finalized third quarter grades and teacher comments will be posted on Gradelink by Monday, March 30th. No physical copies of grade cards will be sent home at this time due to our continued efforts to limit potential COVID-19 exposure. We encourage parents to review grades and comments on Gradelink and contact teachers if there are any questions or concerns. Please let us know if you have problems accessing your child(ren)’s Gradelink account and we will be happy to assist. We will also be honoring our third quarter honors recipients in the coming week so please check the school website for updates.
One final note, while there are many rumors and theories floating around about the future of the school year, there has been no official announcement from either the Ohio Department of Education or the Governor’s Office regarding this topic. Until there is a formal decision, we are planning on returning to normal school activities on Monday, April 6th. If an extension of the current mandate is announced, we will adjust our plans accordingly. Our team is actively preparing for either scenario and these plans include utilizing online resources more effectively. We ask that you continue to be patient with this process as we too are adjusting constantly and “learning on the fly.” Thanks again for your continued understanding and for your cooperation. We are truly in this together and we will overcome this situation as a Christian family. May God bless each of our families and let His light illuminate our path.
In Christ,

Urgent Update!
March 23, 2020
Due to Governor DeWine's latest mandate concerning COVID-19, today will be our final drop off/pick up opportunity until further notice. Staff members will be in the school gymnasium today from 3:00-6:00 for anyone who wishes to return work or pick up materials for the next two weeks. We will utilize the "drive thru" method that we used on Friday in order to keep potential exposure limited. Teachers have been instructed to continue to communication and reach out to parents and students using online resources and methods. We encourage you to continue to communicating with teachers about any questions or concerns you have during this ongoing process. Please feel free to contact me as well if you have any questions or concerns at benglandstp@gmail.com or 419-310-9277. We will continue to monitor the situation and will be providing updates as soon as they become available. Thank you all for your cooperation and understanding throughout these unique circumstances. We continue to pray and hope for a quick end to this crisis so we can continue our normal lives. God bless and stay safe.

Parents/Guardians of St. Peter School students:
I hope and pray that everyone has been able to establish some form of “normalcy” or “routine” during this
extremely difficult and unnatural time period. Please know that we understand the stress and hardship that this
event has created and we want to do everything in our abilities to help sustain and enhance your child(ren)’s
academic progress while not overwhelming our families as well. With that being said, our teachers have been
instructed to maintain regular office hours in order to communicate with parents about any questions or
concerns they may have. Teachers will be available to answer questions or respond to emails between the
hours of 8:00 and 3:00 from Monday to Friday. Again, our goal at this point is both to ensure that our students
are receiving the adequate academic support they need in order to stay engaged as well as be flexible and
respectful of the needs and concerns of our parents during this extended period of absence.
Tomorrow is our first scheduled pickup/dropoff time period from 7:00-10:00 AM and I wanted to provide
some guidance on how to make this process as smooth as possible. In order to prevent excessive potential
exposure, we will be treating this as a “drive-thru” process. We are asking that when parents/guardians arrive
at the school, that they pull into the playground area similar to our morning drop off routine. At the back gym
door entrance, there will be a staff member available to collect all completed school work. Once this work has
been collected, we ask that parents/guardians pull forward to the front gym entrance where another staff
member will provide the new weekly school materials. There will be signs and staff members available to help
guide you through this process. Our goal with this process is to help prevent unnecessary potential exposure
and to make the process as efficient as possible so we ask that parents/guardians remain in their vehicle and
that interactions with staff members be brief. We encourage you to reach out to teachers via email, text, or
phone call if you have questions or concerns as teachers will be readily available to assist you. Please note that
access to the building will be prohibited as we continue to ensure a healthy and sanitary environment.
One final note that I wanted to pass along concerning the end of the third quarter grades. We have decided to
end our third quarter grading period a week early so as of March 13, no further grades will be counted for the
third quarter. However, in order to be flexible and understanding during this period, we will use the returned
schoolwork to “bump” any student’s grade that might be on the “borderline”. In short, students' school work
will only be used to benefit their third quarter grades, not hinder them and all future work will be counted
towards the fourth quarter. Third quarter grade cards will be mailed out next week. We hope this is an
acceptable compromise under these highly unique circumstances.
Again, we thank you all so much for your cooperation and understanding through this extremely difficult
process. We will continue to keep you updated on information as it becomes available. God bless and stay safe
and healthy.
Sincerely,
Blake England
