Parent-Teacher Conference Sign-Up

This year, we are using a digital sign-up system for parent-teacher conferences. Each family is asked to use the link below to reserve a time to meet with their child’s teacher(s). No account is needed to sign up.

Please keep in mind:

• Each family may sign up for one time slot per teacher.
• We cannot guarantee back-to-back time slots, so please plan accordingly if you have more than one conference.
• You are welcome and encouraged to bring your child(ren) to the conference.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s classroom teacher.

We look forward to meeting with you!

very often and I am trying to get rid of the ones I have in stock so they don’t go

bad.

Other Fundraising news:

The Fall Gifts and Cookie Dough Fundraiser is Due October 23rd, please try and

30% of your sales will go to your family account.

These are due back to school on October 23rd with cash or checks made payable

to St. Peter’s School

Last year during the month of October we participated in an art contest with Young Artists

which led to our drawings being published with one of our students’ drawing chosen for

the cover. The kids loved it so much they wanted to do it again.

The theme this year is Trick or Treat. The students will have the opportunity to enter a drawing of anything related to trick or treating or Halloween and I will submit them all to Young Artist by the end of October.

They will choose which drawings they want to publish as well as choosing the covers. The school with the best drawing will earn a $1000 gift card and if we win, we’re having a Pizza Party! Wish us Luck!

Thank you for sharing your gifts and for helping make our parish a vibrant community of faith. May we all answer Christ’s call to “Serve the Lord with Gladness!”.

Tiny Tech Tip

This week's tech tip is talking about how to handle the dreaded "But everyone else has it!" comment when it comes to devices in your home. My go-to response is "Good thing I'm not their mom!" (it never fails to get an eye roll). But when your child says "everyone" has it, a great next step would be "Let's talk about it!" And have an open and honest discussion about what kind of technology and device usage would work for you and your family. My blog post this week explains more!
