Dear St. Joe’s Parents,
Thank you for the feedback you provided after the last email I sent regarding where we are with Covid testing, in school learning, et al. It was very helpful.
While we will continue to review our practices and make adjustments as needed, teaching and learning will be our focus. It can be easy for all of us to feel consumed by the pandemic and all the challenges it presents. Yet our teachers continue to bring their best into the classroom each day to educate the young people at St. Joe’s.
As parents and educators realize, the climate in which our teachers teach and students learn can impact students differently. What’s going on around us can make a huge difference in a child’s ability to grasp the subject matter presented in the classroom. For some students, it is business as usual. For others, it is unsettling and can affect his/her ability to learn. I believe our teachers are savvy and able to recognize this and able to work with you to identify ways to help overcome these obstacles. If your child appears to need additional support to navigate his/her learning, please reach out to the teacher. This continues to be, and now more than ever, a partnership between school and home.

Sincerely,
Dr. Joe Barnes
Interim Head of School

Dear St. Joe's Parent and Teacher Community,
On behalf of Dr. Barnes, Principal Solomon, Ms. Balsamo, and myself, I would like to invite you to be part of St. Joe’s Diversity Council.
During the school year, we plan to recognize and celebrate the many cultures that we are blessed to have in our country. Diversity Council initiatives are not meant to take the place of the curriculum but are just intended to supplement, educate and be fun. All activities will be encouraged, but voluntary. The hope is teachers, parents and students will become more aware of the importance of these cultures and add information, activities, and discussions to the classroom.
If you are interested in joining the Council or just learning more, please reply to me (stephen.a.noel@gmail.com) and I will include you in an intro zoom meeting I will organize later this month. Our initial goal will be to sign off on a calendar of events for the remainder of the school year and coordinate assignments.
Thank you,
Stephen Noel (Sophia 5th & Isabel Pre-K)

Thank you to all who participated in the Christmas donation for veterans. Thanks to your generosity, many were a little bit warmer and a little bit happier this Christmas. The Braintree organization we worked with was so impressed by and very grateful for everything this community did for them. THANK YOU!
Shout out to 7A student Zella who had the opportunity over vacation to volunteer with Project Do Something in Boston. With the help of classmates Fiona, Krista, Lila, and Juliette, Zella delivered over 175 individually wrapped baked goods as part of the holiday luncheon Project Do Something coordinated in December. Check out the trunk they packed!
Awesome work!
-Ms. McCabe
