Reminder about At-home Learner Links Policy

ONLY students who are official at-home learners may have access to the streaming links with the following exceptions: 

1) the student is absent 3 days or more due to illness or including a treatment such as lice;
2) if a child is quarantined waiting for his/ her COVID result or a household member COVID test result; 
3) or if a family has an approved planned absence and has received very special permission from administration to obtain the at-home learner link. 

Students who use the link without permission may be asked to leave the class. We are noticing that some students are purposely staying at home during assessment days.  Middle school students who are not at-home learners will be required to take any assessment upon the return to face-to-face learning. 

Streaming links are NOT to be used for extended vacation times.

We appreciate your cooperation regarding this important matter.

Congratulations!
It's not all work and no play in 3rd grade! In Science class, they took their STREAM assignment outdoors on the playground. The students are learning about different forces, like push and pull, gravity and friction. They had to find the equipment that matched the description, sketch it out, and then draw an arrow for the direction of the force. Students put their math and measuring skills to work by calculating perimeter and area. Keep up the great work, 3rd grade!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Varela! Today, the teachers threw a surprise baby shower for Mr. Varela and his wife, who joined via Zoom. They are expecting their first child, Gemma, next month.

The Pre-HSPT at
Saint John Paul II Academy


Saint John Paul II Academy is pleased to offer current 7th graders an opportunity to take a High School Placement Practice Test called the Pre-HSPT.

The practice test is designed to give students an opportunity to take a Pre-HSPT
under similar conditions as the HSPT, familiarizing students with HSPT content
and structure. The test evaluates strengths, areas for improvement, and provides
early feedback to identify performance gaps. Students will receive a Performance
Profile and Score Report.

The Pre-HSPT will be offered at Saint John Paul II Academy on Saturday, May 15,
2021 at 8:00 and the cost is $20.

If you would like to sign up to take the test please click on this link: Pre-HSPT

If you have any questions please contact the Admissions Office at SJPII by email
at Admissions@sjpii.net or by phone at (561) 314-2128.
