Dear Parents,
We sincerely thank you for all your support during Catholic Schools Week. Bishop McManus was very impressed and declared Monday, February 4th a "Bishop's Day." Therefore, we will not have school. Our students, faculty, staff and Home and School Association all worked hard to make it a successful 2019 Catholic Schools Week.
As flu season is upon us, we kindly ask that if your child is home sick, please call the school by 9:00 am to report an absence.
In a few weeks, we will be sending home an informal survey to determine your interest in attending St. Joseph School for the 2019-2020 school year . We have been receiving interest from families to attend St. Joseph School as well as possible foreign exchange students. Re-registering will take place on-line through our new student information program called FACTS later in the month of February. However, at this time we would like to get an idea of the number in each classroom for those who intend to return. This survey is not binding, just a general idea as we begin to plan for next year. Your cooperation, as always, is very much appreciated.
