St Joseph High School - A Catholic College Preparatory Community
Dear Friends,

Greetings from St Joes. As we begin this new week, the aftermath of Tropical Storm Isaias continues to linger throughout CT and disrupt the daily lives of many members of our SJ community. Please join me in prayers of strength, safety, and perseverance for everyone still dealing with this challenging situation. I wish you a productive and fulfilling week ahead and remember to participate in our Virtual Town Hall Meeting tonight from 6:30-8:00 p.m. to learn more about our school reopening plan. Thank you.

In Faith and Fellowship,
David J Klein, President
Families: Join Us for a Town Hall Tonight at 6:30pm.

Preparing for Welcome Week!
Whether in-person, hybrid, or virtual, we are quickly preparing to greet our returning students and welcome the Class of 2024! 

The start of a new school year brings with it a great deal of excitement and, sometimes, just a little bit of anxiety. Know that if you need us, the St Joes staff are just a phone call away. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Calendar and Parent/Student Handbook
  • The 2020-2021 Parent/Student Handbook is now available online (click here). Before the start of school, please review the Handbook with your student and complete the online acknowledgement form located on the campus life page. This form must be signed by all parents and students.
  • This Handbook is intended to serve as a guide to help members of our community understand our programs and procedures and to set forth basic expectations and agreements.
  • The rules and policies are intended to apply under normal circumstances. However, from time to time, situations may require a nonstandard response. Principal DiBuono is the final interpeter of all rules.
  • An additional Family/School COVID-19 Safety addendum will be sent separately.
 
Dress Code
  • Students must be in full compliance with the dress code starting on the first day of Orientation. For more details about the dress code, please refer to the 2020-2021 Parent/Student Handbook.
 
Summer Reading
  • Summer reading must be completed by the first day of school. For more details about the summer reading assignment, please click here.
SJ Athletics Fall Sports Plans & Updates
Many thanks to our Fall Sport families who have helped make conditioning a success thus far!

Last week, the CIAC released their updated Fall Sports Plan, a fluid document which will be updated as more data, health metrics, and sport specific information becomes available.
Spread the Word: Updated Admissions Calendar!
Parents: you are are our greatest ambassadors -- as we begin to look for the Class of 2025, you can help us by sharing your love for St Joes!

There are a number of ways for families to learn more about SJ - whether through info sessions, open houses, or personal family tours. Our applications opened on July 1 and can be submitted at sjcadets.org/applynow.
Student Spotlight: Cadets Spend Their Summer in Service to Others!
We are so proud of the following Class of 2021 Cadets: Nicole Zito, Brady Beiser, Kate Ganser, Emily Haverl, and Angela Muir who have been working on a summer service project collecting books for Capital Prep Harbor School in Bridgeport.

The students are collecting books to fill the classroom libraries. They are looking for new and gently used books for grades Pre-K through 8. If you'd like to contribute to the students' project, please reach out to Nicole Zito at nicolezito2021@students.sjcadets.org.
Cadets Care: Share Your Community Service Stories!
At St Joes, helping those in need is more of a joy than a requirement.

Each year, we are amazed at the number of hours Cadets spend in service, as well as the types of projects they've created.

We want to highlight your service! If you have been a part of a community service project since we've closed in March, let us know! Email Mrs Martinez at communications@sjcadets.org to share your news!
Are You an SJ Alum? We Want to Hear From You!
Things sure have been different lately, but the one thing that'll never change is our love for our alumni, and we want to celebrate your achievements!

Did you get engaged, married, promoted? Do you own a business? Have you transformed your business? Are you feeling nostalgic and have old pictures and memories to share? We want to know it all.
Be Sure to Sign Up for SJ Bus Transportation!
St Joes offers 4 bus routes (including Trumbull town bus). A bus route's availability is contingent on the amount of registrations by families.
Stay Connected with St Joes!
Now, more than ever, it's important that our families and students check their emails at least once a week for news, notes, and announcements from St Joes.

If you're concerned that you're not recieving our emails, please reach out to communications@sjcadets.org.
