Enrollment Begins
for 2023-24 Academic Year
It may be hard to believe, but as we turn the calendar to January, we begin enrolling for the next school year. In January, current families will complete the Intent to Enroll form and pay the annual registration fee of $150. The Intent to Enroll helps us prepare for the fall and enables students to select their courses for the following year. Course selection begins in February for rising seniors. We will share additional information in January.
First Semester Grades Reminder
Grades are due from teachers on January 11 so please keep in mind anything in Powerschool prior to that may not be final. Report cards will be sent to parents on January 12 or 13.
Dress Code Updates
In response to suggestions by student leadership, our Student Life and School Safety Committee has spent the last several months exploring changes to certain policies in our 2022-23 Student-Parent Handbook. The committee aims to create policies that uphold high standards while also being sensitive to student needs. The policies are to be consistent with a school culture that is positive, joyful, welcoming, supportive, and inclusive and highly focused on learning, faith formation, and personal growth. The policies below were revised and will be effective on January 9, 2023.
Pants: A recent survey showed that 97% of faculty/staff respondents and 90% of student respondents are in favor of adding a darker pants color to our school uniform, and both groups clearly favored black over navy blue. Thus, students will now be permitted to wear black pants in addition to khaki tan pants. All pants are to be dress pants; neither denim nor leggings/jeggings are permitted. No color variations (e.g. brown or gray) are permitted.
Facial Hair: Neatly groomed facial hair will be permitted
Footwear: Sandals and athletic “slides” will be permitted. House slippers and flip-flops are still not to be worn at any time.
School administration makes the final determination of whether or not a student is in compliance with the handbook policies. Parents are welcome to contact Mr. Luczynski in the Office of Student Life with questions at cluczynski@saintjoehigh.com.
