Picture day is this Monday, August 19th! Students get their Fall photo taken in uniform for their ID badges. (We have a Spring photo when students are out of uniform!) You may pre-order school pictures online by August 22nd, or fill out the order form you received from your child's teacher, and send it back in with your child on picture day. Please use the link below to order online!

Thank you students and parents for your attention to our school uniform policy. The students are looking good and for the most part following policy. We could use your help on a few things:

• Boys are not allowed to wear earrings to school.
• Skorts are not part of our uniform. Girls in grades K-3 can wear a jumper, and girls in grades 4-8 can wear a navy skirt or a plaid skirt. These items are available only through Educational Apparel.
• Joggers are not permitted.
• Shirts must be tucked in at all times. Please make sure your child's shirt is tucked in before they leave each morning.
• Spirit shirts may be worn every Friday with uniform bottoms. Soccer jerseys can be worn as well! We have more of this year's spirit shirt ordered and will let you know when they arrive. Spirit shirts are also to be tucked in on Fridays.
• Ladies' shorts: please make sure shorts are not too tight or rolled up to make shorter.

Thank you for your support with our uniform policy!

Please review our morning drop-off pattern below. Parents need to head West on Chambersburg Road, turn right onto Celestine, turn right onto Alter, and follow Alter into the back driveway of St. Peter. Parents may not drop students off in front of the school, as that is reserved for bus traffic. Please note that busses are not looking for students and cars out front, so it is a safety concern for students to be dropped off out front. Once a car enters the back lot, please follow the traffic flow listed below. We had quite a jam this morning due to cars not following the plan. Thank you all for your patience and grace. Our new families just need a chance to learn our game plan!

Please review our afternoon pick-up pattern below. Parents and cars are not permitted in the front of school. Our busses line up in two rows, and cars parked in the front lot prohibit this process. Parents can enter the back lot and line up for dismissal beginning at 2:45PM when the gate opens. If you are in a hurry to get out, please park across the street and walk over to pick up your child. We have people out front to help navigate the crosswalk and traffic on Chambersburg Road. As always, please let us know if you have any questions!

The students are doing an outstanding job with our new cell phone policy. As a reminder, cell phones MUST be completely put inside bookbags before exiting the car or bus. Likewise, at the end of the school day, phones may not be out until students are on the busses or in their cars. Students are not permitted to carry phones in their hands. We had to remind only three students of the new rule! Beginning Monday and moving forward, any cell phone that is outside a bookbag will be turned into the office, and a parent will need to come in to reclaim. Please remind your students as they leave each morning!
