Early Release Reminder
A note or email is required for a student to request permission to leave class early. The note/email should indicate the time the student is being picked up and must be signed by the parent. This note will be sent to the office and kept on file. When a student leaves class during the day for an appointment, he/she must be signed out at the school office by the responsible adult. Excessive early releases are unacceptable due to the instructional time a student will miss. Please note: Early dismissal of students must take place prior to 2:15. 

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, parents are asked to call the school with an estimated time of arrival, so that students can be waiting for parents, reducing waiting time. Parents are strongly discouraged from making appointments during the school day, with the intention of returning the student to school.

Prayer Leaders

We will continue with prayers leaders alphabetically! Each family is asked to make a video of the student(s) and the family reciting the prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary, and St Joseph...Pray for US) and then send the video to wsjsnews@sjschoolva.org
We look forward to continuing this wonderful tradition!
