OF PROCEDURES AND POLICIES FOR
PARENTS AND STUDENTS UNITED
IN VISION St.
Peter School imparts the Gospel message of Jesus Christ as it is viewed in
Catholic Church doctrine and tradition. The
school prepares its students to be responsible Christians in their words and
actions so that they may be of service to their church, community, and country. UNITED
IN MISSION
The mission of St. Peter School is to teach Gospel values and to nurture the total development of each student according to the charism of the Marianites of Holy Cross. PHILOSOPHY
Called
by the Gospel to teach as Jesus did, to bring Christ to others, to be Christ to
all, St. Peter Catholic School integrates Catholic tradition and values with the
spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and social development of each student.
A Christian community is created where the Message is proclaimed and
human knowledge, enlightened by faith, is shared by teachers, students, parents,
and parish members in a spirit of freedom and love.
To foster a Christian understanding of mutual responsibility for one
another, community worship and service is stressed.
Excellence in academic preparation is encouraged.
Armed with knowledge and experience, students are enabled to “pace
their development as Christians with their growth as citizens of the world.” The
policies and procedures in this handbook have been prepared to assist parents,
the primary teachers of their children, and to enable students to achieve their
objectives of study, behavior, and growth.
The success of each will be directly proportionate to the combined
efforts of parents and children. It
is important that parents and children read and discuss this handbook together. GOALS
