SCHOOL DELAYS

& CLOSINGS

There are three ways that we will notify you of school delays and closings. In case of bad weather, please check the school website, your E-mail and local TV news. If Kenton County has a one hour delay, SJS will do the same so that we can use the buses. There are times where Kenton County then makes the decision to close, but SJS may remain open. Please be sure to check several times in the morning to see what SJS will be doing.

MAP TESTING

Students in grades 1-7 have started taking the Winter MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests. Please be sure that your children are getting a good night sleep, eating a protein packed breakfast and they are here at school each day. (unless they are sick)

Please talk to your child about the importance of the tests. They need to try their best on each one (Math, Language and Reading) so that we can see the progress they are making. This allows us to measure academic growth.

Aspire Higher

Congratulations to Matthew Voet and Charlie Klaiss for earning scholarships to Covington Catholic High School. Congratulations to Caroline Boehmer and Ella Smith for earning scholarships to Notre Dame Academy.

These students scored in the top percent on their high school placement test and were presented these scholarships this week!

The SJS Varsity quick recall team (Caroline, Josh, Mac, & Matthew) competed in the Bate Middle School Tournament in Danville on Saturday. This team worked together and came in 6th place out of 25 teams. WOW! Congratulations to the team and thanks to their supportive coaches and parents!

SJS NEWS FLASH

SAVE THE DATE

Grandparents Day will be held on April 10th, 2019! More information will be coming at a later date.

VIRTUS TRAINING

This safe environment program for children has been mandated by the Bishop of the United States for all employees and volunteers who in any way deal with children in Catholic Schools: therefore if you have not attended a Virtus presentation, then you cannot volunteer - this includes volunteering in the cafeteria, on the playground or as a field trip chaperone. If you would like to register to attend a Virtus session, please go the the website at www.virtus.org. The password is "TRUST".
