Growing in Knowledge of the Catholic Faith,

Academic Excellence, and Service

Principal's Message

Dear Families,

Welcome to a new school year! Again, I extend a warm welcome to our new and returning families to the 2023-24 school year.

I am honored to serve as the principal of St. John the Baptist Catholic School.

As I enter my 29th year in education, eleven of those years in the leadership role, I understand the importance and embrace all opportunities to work together with our teachers, students, and families. Working together, we can collectively ensure that every student is successful.

With tradition, comes great responsibility. Our team of teachers and support staff are committed to ensuring St. John the Baptist Catholic School continues to provide standards of high-quality faith-centered instruction in every classroom with deep care.

This sets us apart and continues to ensure that our school remains a top performing elementary school providing a solid academic foundation, lighting the path for every child, for higher education and beyond. We look forward to partnering with you in following our mission of growing in knowledge of the Catholic faith, striving for personal and academic excellence, and serving God and others.

Please navigate our website for school information, as well as, read the weekly email for school information and updates. Thank you for blessing us with your child(ren) this school year.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Amy Nelson

"Gifts and abilities may open doors, but character will determine what we do once those doors are open."

Each month students and staff will be focusing on a Biblical Character Trait. The teachers will interweave these traits with the Catholic Social Teachings and will incorporate more activities and opportunities for reflection on the importance of following in God's footsteps.

August/September Trait - Compassionate          

We are looking for substitute teachers. Substitute teachers must have a substitute license through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. If you are interested or know someone who is, please reach out to Mrs. Amy Nelson at anelson@sjbplymouth.org. 

Have you ever wanted to volunteer in your child's classroom, chaperone a field trip, or volunteer at an event at SJB? Every volunteer at SJB needs to be Safe Environment trained. There will be many opportunities this year to volunteer at SJB School so if haven't already gone through the Safe Environment training, we have good news. SJB is hosting a Safe Environment training session on-site.

"All Creatures Bright and Beautiful"

We have a bulletin board that we need filled with pictures of students and staff in nature or with animals. You can either bring photos into the school office (you won't get them back), or you can email pictures to Christine Vanic in the school office at cvanic@sjbplymouth.org. Thank you for helping us fill our bulletin board with pictures of God's creatures great and small.
