Non-Discriminatory Policy
Ss. Peter & Paul School admits students of any race, color, sex or national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships and loan programs, and athletic and school administered programs.
What is a Virtual Day? When bad weather or cosmic happenings occur we can still count non-attendance days as school days by having a VIRTUAL DAY. Teachers will assign academic activities using the Chromebooks for those students who have them and paper/pencil tasks for the other grades. Students will be responsible for completing the work assigned for that day.
