FAST Assessments
- Students in kindergarten through sixth grade will be completing some reading and math assessments some time in the next two weeks. These tests will take approximately 20-30 minutes each. They will be completed in the computer lab which is why there is a two week time span to complete assessments. We are eager to share results with your children's strengths and challenges with you. We will complete another set of assessments after Easter (end of April) so we can identify areas of growth and progress. These are the same assessments the students in the public schools complete. These assessments are in place of the basic skills testing that was completed in previous years in April.
Catholic Schools Week Kick-Off -
Our special week will start on Sunday, January 27th with Mass at 10:00 AM, breakfast served from 8:30-11:30, and the book fair will be open from 8-12. EVERYONE's help is needed this day. This is the first of two events that we need all JI families to help with. Thanks to Doug Rykhus for taking the lead with the breakfast and to Brenda McHugh for taking the lead with the book fair! Please mark your calendars so you can help and celebrate with us. Look for a sign up to help coming soon!
Mass with Bishop LeVoir -
On Monday, January 28th Bishop LeVoir will celebrate Mass with us at 12:30 pm. Hope you can join us for this special celebration.
Monday, January 21st and Tuesday, January 22nd
- Monday is a no school day and a teacher workday for the end of the quarter. Tuesday is a regular school day. The district made some changes to their calendar late this summer and so we also needed to adjust our calendar. If you have a school calendar for the whole year before 8-2-18 it is out of date. Always refer to the Google calendar for the most up-to-date information.
Blessings to you!
