Yes! All students attend Mass with their classmates each week. The Mass schedule can be found on the website. Parents are more than welcome to join us for Mass.
You are not alone! For many Saints Peter and Paul parents, their greatest concern is where their child will stay after school. Parents at Saints Peter and Paul school have a unique alternative to solve that problem – the school’s Extended Day Program. Extended Day offers a safe and secure environment for children in grades K – 8. For the students, after school time in the Extended Day Program is fun and educational. Extended Day provides gym/play time, homework time, a snack and a variety of enrichment activities each afternoon. The uniqueness of the program lies in the fact that it is a self-supporting program. Cost for the program is $20/day/child with a yearly registration fee of $25 per family. Acceptance into the program is on a first-come, first-served basis while offering a choice of daily/weekly or monthly registration.
There is a hot lunch program available every Monday and Friday. We offer a daily milk program. You can order these online at the school website.
Please report the absence by 8am by calling the main school number (630-355-0113) and listen for the prompt for the school absentee line.
There is a classroom teacher and an aide in kindergarten through 4th grade classes. There is also an aide who helps out in our Jr. High LA/Reading classes
The company we use for our students’ uniforms is Educational Outfitters. You can reach them at: www.educationaloutfitters.com/lansing-michigan.
