IOWA SKILLS TESTING IOWA Skills testing in grades 1st - 8th will begin on Wednesday, March 13. and will continue through March 23rd as needed. The majority of testing will be conducted in the mornings. It has been proven that a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast will help students perform to their highest level. Also, please make every effort to have your child in attendance during these tests. All tests have to be made up and it is very difficult for teachers to fit this into their daily routine once the testing days are over.

INFORMATION FOR TRACK & FIELD You can stop by the office to pick up the informational packet your child will need to begin our new Track & Field team for this spring. We will be having a trial practice on Monday, March 19th 3:30-4:10 at Pineview Track. A parent meeting will be held on this day at 4:10. All forms including the T-shirt order form needs to be returned to the school by Friday, March 23rd. REMINDER: all paperwork, including a current physical exam card that is filled out & signed by a physician, needs to be completed prior to participating in St. Peter’s Athletics.

ST. PETERS’ TRAP TEAM is looking for persons to join their team.

If interested, please contact Mr. Dehn.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF ST. PETER’S LUHTERAN CHURCH??

The St. Peter’s School Handbook encourages all families to attend church 50% of the time. This is a very important part of determining member and non-member tuition at St. Peter’s School. Member tuition rates will be charged based on the following guidelines:

• 50% church attendance at St. Peter’s Church August 1 – July 31, of the following year, member tuition rate will apply. If attendance of 50% or greater has not been met, non-member rates will be charged for the following school year.

Church attendance will be reviewed August 1st of each year to determine your tuition rate for the upcoming school year. Attendance will be recorded from attendance cards at church.
