Hi, my name is Cindy Hasty and I teach 6th grade social studies and science.  I did not grow up in this area but have lived here for almost 27 years.  I went through Catholic school growing up and attended the University of Missouri-Columbia.  I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture.  I worked in agricultural research during and after college.  This is my 21st year in education, with it being my 15th at St. Peter.   My husband and I have been married 32 years.  We have three wonderful children, an amazing daughter-in-law, and 2 beautiful grandchildren.  We are members of St. Andrew Parish in Holts Summit.  In my spare time, I enjoy being outside, playing the guitar, camping, and spending time with my family.  I feel so blessed to have the family I have at home and my family at St. Peters.

Dear parents,

When schools give students access to devices and online accounts, an incredible world of learning opportunities opens up — as well as potential dangers. Digital safety is critically important to St. Peter Catholic School which is why we are now using Bark for Schools to help us protect our students both online and in real life.

Bark monitors for signs of potential issues like:

• Cyberbullying
• Suicidal ideation
• Predators
• Threats of violence
• And more

Alerts at the first signs of danger

When possible dangers arise on school-issued accounts, Bark for Schools sends us alerts so we can address the situation in a timely manner. These alerts also give us insights that help us promote the wellness of the entire student body.

Sign up to get alerts with Parent Portal

Kids use their school-issued accounts both at school and at home, and families are often in a better position to respond to urgent alerts after hours, on weekends, and during breaks. In the coming week you will receive an invitation to create your free account for the Bark for Schools Parent Portal. As soon as you opt-in, you’ll be able to receive after-hours alerts if Bark detects potentially time-sensitive issues.

After School Care News:

ATTENTION Preschool Parents:

Because we are continually evaluating and improving our students' safety, we will be changing the Aftercare pickup procedure starting in January. You will pick up your child from the After School Care desk where the aide will call for them on the walkie talkie and someone will bring them upstairs to you. You will no longer be able to pick them up from the playground or their room. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Principal Gayle Trachsel (gtrachsel@stpeterjc.org) or ASC Director Betsy Bartow (bbartow@stpeterjc.org) whom you may also reach at (573) 636-8922 ext.129
