Dear St. Joseph Elementary School Families,
This afternoon, our whole school was treated to watching the debut performance of our school musical, Willy Wonka Jr.! The performance was fantastic, and we have members from all classes TK-8 in the show. I am so proud of how many of our kids are participating in the musical this year. I think this show truly celebrates the hard work, team spirit, gifts, and talents of SJES students. Artistic talent is alive here at St. Joseph!
I want to give a special thanks to Mrs. Sierra Dominguez who directs the musical, works tirelessly with our kids, and has helped to make our school musical a reality every year since we started this program 4 years ago! Thank you also to all the parents and volunteers who have helped lead our kids to create this year’s musical. This has certainly been a team effort.
We have performance scheduled both this weekend and next weekend. Please, join us for one of these performances. Come offer your support and see our hard working, talented kids! You can purchase tickets here:
Peace and Blessings,
Ms. Francisco

It's Great To Be In Eight
|
In Eighth Grade Math, our students experience a unique differentiated math program. They are split between eighth grade math and Algebra 1. We even have some students taking a zero period Algebra extension at St. Joseph Notre Dame High School. This allows for our students to get the challenge level that is appropriate for their learning style.
I
n 8th grade math, students are learning representations of functions and ways to compare linear and nonlinear functions.
In Algebra 1, students are learning how to solve quadratic equations using a variety of methods.

Students in our school M.U.S.E. Band Program participated at the annual Winter Band Concert on Sunday, February 9th at Bishop O'Dowd High School. Over 150 students from 10 schools participated. All Intermediate and Advanced Band students are looking forward to marching in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in downtown San Francisco on March 14th.
If you think your child would like to learn an instrument and be a part of the band next fall, be on the lookout for information that will be sent out this spring. You can visit the M.U.S.E. website at

Safety Reminder for Parents During Pick Up/Drop Off
|
Please remember that safety is our top priority at SJES, and we know it is your top priority as parents also! A few gentle reminders of how we can all work together during pick-up time to keep our kids safe:
- Please drive around the block instead of making U-turns in the middle of the intersection
- Please only park legally, and avoid parking in resident driveways or blocking driveways. We want to be good neighbors
- Please wait your turn in the pick-up line, and refrain from cutting by picking up in the crosswalk
- Please be mindful of our children who are walking in the crosswalk, and our staff who are holding up stop signs to help our children cross safely
Thank you for helping us keep all members of our community safe!

Don't Forget!
SJES students should be funneling in and out of the gates on the Lafayette side of the building. Chestnut St. side is for SJND!
Please be kind and respect faculty and staff when they give you guidance and reminder regarding pick up and drop off.
