Our fall parent/teacher conference day is quickly approaching on Friday, October 23rd. We are looking forward to meeting with the parents and students who requested conferences. If you have questions, please email your teachers.

As you prepare to return to campus, please begin gathering all school materials and supplies. In the first couple of days, please bring some of the materials daily. When in doubt, please contact your teacher to determine what materials are needed first.

We’re off to a great start and have reached 25% of our $550,000 goal! Thank you to everyone who has made a gift to the Annual Fund so far! To make your gift today, visit www.jp2.org/give or email your pledge to development@jp2.org. 

Many companies in our area match your charitable donations dollar for dollar.  That means you can double the size of your contribution to StJPII! Follow the link below to see a list of companies that have given in the past and check with your HR department to see if they participate in matching gifts. Last year, StJPII received over $75,000 in matching gifts, so corporate funds truly have a tremendous impact on helping us meet our operational goals and sustain our mission.

I am pleased to share St. John Paul II Catholic School's COVID First 9 Week report card. We had one student and one staff member test positive. Neither of these cases were exposed from campus nor have these cases caused community spread at StJPII. Our COVID Precautions to date have proven effective. Please continue to submit the daily COVID Questionnaires. Please continue to keep students at home who have any COVID symptoms. Please praise your children in their mask wearing and handwashing habits. Please encourage your family to practice social distancing, hand washing and mask wearing when not on our campus. Take the time to vaccinate your family for influenza. It takes everyone of us to do our part to stay healthy as a community. Let's keep up the good work as we start the next nine weeks!

Our annual Run with the Saints 5K and Kids K, which typically coincides with All Saints Day, unfortunately had to be cancelled this year. 2020 would have been the 22nd anniversary of this wonderful community event which honors our former student Lauren Lockard, who lost her brave battle against brain cancer in 1999. We are hopeful that we can resume the race next year! Those so desiring may run in Lauren's memory during the Archdiocesan Steps for Students Virtual Fun Run to take place later this spring. Run with the Saints is our longest-standing community event, so we are saddened we cannot gather at this time; please keep Lauren's family and our entire saints family in your prayers as we look to a healthy future.

To secure a spot in the parking lot, decorate a trunk or to help with the Trunk or Treat, or if you have questions regarding Trunk or Treat, please contact Events Officer Kaela Lewis  for more information.
