St. Peter Catholic School believes that society
functions best when each individual takes
appropriate responsibility for their actions and
the tasks they perform, whether that be as a
Catholic, citizen, community member, parent,
or student. Parents are encouraged to give
their students every opportunity to excel in
school by adequately preparing them for
enrollment in our program. This means that
parents have taught basic life skills such as:
- a. How to wait their turn.
b. How to keep their hands and feet to
themselves.
c. How to say please and thank you
appropriately.
d. How to share with others.
e. Using prayer in their daily lives.
f. Promoting responsibility as a
means to find value in ones self.
Parents and alumni commend St. Peter
Catholic School for the strong religious and
academic base given to them and their
children over the past 27 years. We are more
committed than ever to high standards and
outcomes for every child. Please consider
St. Peter Catholic School as a partner in
preparing your children for a successful
future as a Catholic and citizen.
St. Peter Catholic School promotes a learning environment focused on each
student meeting or exceeding Oregon State Standards for Public Schools.
Each student will be expected to participate readily in daily classroom
activities. Each student will be expected to complete all assigned work in a
timely manner and to a level of accomplishment consistent with the state
standards. Homework will be expected on a regular basis from all students.
Parents are encouraged to observe and assist their children in the endeavor.
Annual testing is conducted and each student’s progress will be given to
parents to track their students successes and areas of need. The
administration will readily receive input form all parents and respond
accordingly within the policies and procedures approved by the Board.
Students with special abilities and needs will be given opportunities to work in
these areas of interest or need. Students who excel in specific areas will be
given the skills to advance their study with minimal support from their teachers
so that these students can guide themselves in new exploits. Students
needing extra assistance will be given every opportunity to practice skills
toward mastery and will be encouraged to seek assistance outside of the
regular school day.
St. Peter Catholic School promotes a culturally literate environment, where
students will be exposed to the arts, government, geography, politics, and the
classics, appropriate to each grade level and development. Students will have
the opportunity to play a musical instrument. Currently all beginning students
take orchestra as a part of their regular classroom curriculum. These topics
will be taught as part of the regular education process.
St. Peter Catholic School promotes an atmosphere of leadership and
emphasizes the qualities of leadership. Students will begin each day
with the Pledge of Allegiance to our American flag to signify respect of
our heritage and way of life. Students will be expected to speak
publicly in their classroom at every grade level, and will be given
opportunity to participate in competitions involving public speaking
during their last two years at St. Peter. Students will perform in at least
one production, whether large or small, as a part of their educational
development. Older students will be given opportunities to
demonstrate their development by coaching younger students in a
variety of activities. St. Peter Catholic School philosophy states that
public speaking is fundamental to all facets of life, and is essential to
all leadership responsibilities. Therefore, this part of our program will
receive strong attention.
St. Peter Catholic School provides a Catholic Education for
each student enrolled. This means that the doctrine and
moral truths held by the Catholic Church will be presented to
each student and they will be given opportunities to practice
these truths as appropriate. Students will begin each day
with prayer, and prayer throughout the day will be a regular
practice. Regular participation in Mass and Sacraments will
be part of their education experience. Emphasis will be
placed on the value of each individual and each individual’s
responsibility to recognize and respect the value of others.
