Dear SJPS Families,
Morning Drop Off Procedures-
At morning drop off, please proceed forward in the right lane all the way to the double cones to drop off your children. We have too much back up occuring before the crosswalk area. Please drive slowly and watch for families with our littlest littles crossing at the crosswalk area.
Recess/Cold Weather-
Please be sure to have your child come to school dressed for the weather. Students in all grades should have winter coats, hats, mittens, and boots if they will be playing in the snow.
Students go outside when the weather (per the National Weather Service and the Wind Chill Chart) shows that the temperature presents little danger for properly clothed persons. The typical guideline is a wind-chill at or above 0. We will use a windchill or temperature of
5
degrees as a guideline.
Please note that if Oconomowoc Area School District is closed for weather,
St. Jerome Parish School will close. You may also tune into TMJ4 to see if we close.
Our teachers are excited to share the progress of your children at the conferences on Monday and Tuesday. School is
not
in session, but the children should attend conferences with you. Here is
the link
to the conferences if you need to reference your time.
School is
not
in session on November 26th. The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has set this day aside for teacher inservice. Just a reminder there is a link to the calendar in this weekly email. See below!
Lunch Menus
The lunch choice for November 27th has been changed. The choices are #1 salisbury steak sandwich. The #2 choice is a mini corn dog. On the December lunch menu, please cross off lunch for December 7th. Lunch will not be served that day and children are to bring a bagged lunch due to the timing of the field trip.
The book drive will continue through December 5th. There is a collection box in the school hallway.

Ladies:
Set aside a few hours on December 6th to prepare for this year’s season of Advent. Be an Advent by Candlelight table hostess and we will reserve a table for you and your friends. Hostesses provide table settings, holiday decorations, candles, and a dessert for up to 8 people. You can co-hostess a table too! It requires only a few hours and there will be "Advent Angels" to meet you at your car and help with your items--both arriving and packing up.
Set up for the event begins at 5:00 pm on Thursday, December 6. The event for your guests will be held at St. Jerome Parish in Marian Hall from 6:30 – 8:15 pm.Once you register as a hostess, we will send you a complete "Hostess Guide" and electronic invitations to send out to your friends. This is a GREAT way to invite those who might not attend Church every Sunday to become better acquainted with the parish. Women of all faiths are welcome.
Begin Advent in peace, prayer, and candlelight! The WINGS Ministry
