The PowerSchool parent portal will open on Monday, August 29, 2022, for all parents. This will be an excellent time for parents (both new and existing) to set up their new account, link another student, or practice logging into an established account/requesting a password reset. 

The portal is open most of the school year for parents of students in Grades 3-8. The portal closes for report card preparation in November/December, March, and June. The portal is closed, except for report card viewing, for Grades K-2.  

The portal will close for parents of students in Grades K-2 on Wednesday, September 7, 2022. 

Questions?  Please contact Lisa Pearce at L.Pearce@sjschoolva.org

At this time, Extended Day will not be accepting any registrations. Once the program is up and running, space will be re-evaluated.

On November 8, Virginians will have the opportunity to elect candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives – and in some areas – “down-ballot” offices. Faithful citizenship reminds us to take an active part in public life through our voice and our vote.

Game Set Match Saints!!

After a COVID hiatus, CYO tennis will be back at St. Joseph's School and Parish this fall for students in grades 4 through 8. If your child plays tennis or wants to play tennis, CYO tennis is a great opportunity for them to learn or improve their tennis skills while competing for our school and parish and having fun. 

If you are interested in tennis this fall, please email Nick Manetto at nickmanetto@gmail.com with the following information:

• Subject line: CYO Tennis.
• Parent email address and phone number.
• Name, age and grade of your child or children interested in playing.
• Brief information (1 to 2 lines) on your child's tennis experience, e.g., previously on the team and plays regularly, has taken some group lessons and knows the basic strokes and fundamentals, beginner, etc. 

Time commitment: Based on interest, we will be working to determine specifics for the season including practice days and other details. Practices will most likely be held once a week after school at the Worldgate Athletic Club in Herndon (Worldgate Drive and Elden Street/Exit 10 of the Toll Road). Practices will be by grade/skill level so specific dates will be set once we understand interest in the season. Based on past years, practices were immediately after school during the 3:30 to 4:30 or 4 to 5 p.m. time frame. 

Cost: The cost for the season is roughly around $100 per child. It will depend upon level of interest and number of practice sessions we will have. 

Parent needs: We will need a parent or two to manage/coordinate each grade level, mainly for matches against other schools and parishes. We will cover grades 7/8 and we will need parents for grades 4 through 6. 

St. Joseph Golf Program

Fall Session for 4^th-8^th Graders!

The golf program is back! Starting Wednesday September 7th, the e golf program will be held for interested 4^th-8^th grade St. Joseph students and St. Joseph CCD participants. This program will be held at Herndon Centennial golf course again and will be held once a week as light and weather allows (est. thru October). The non-CYO program will be taught by a combination of parent volunteers and golf course staff. Please see below for additional details:

• When: Start September 7th and will run for roughly 6 weeks through the end of October, to be held each Wednesday. Start time will be around 5:00pm to maximize light. Mondays may be made for make-up nights if weather is an issue.  
• What: Will include basic instruction and practice for the Fall session, including time on the driving range and chipping/putting green, with some play on the course occurring throughout.
• Who: Fourth-Eighth grade St. Joseph School students and St. Joseph Parish CCD participants.
• Equipment/Attire: Does your child have clubs already? Great, please bring them. Don’t have golf clubs? No worries, there are additional sets of junior golf clubs that can be used at the course. Sneakers are suitable (golf shoes not required), and dress will be a golf shirt (or similar) and golf shorts (or golf pants when the weather is colder).
• Cost: Anticipated costs are ~$75 per child and includes use of the unlimited range balls, facilities, instruction (and clubs, as needed). This will be finalized based on the number of participants. We may also look to acquire SJS Golf polos at an additional cost for those interested. 

Please register by Friday, September 2^nd so that we can finalize numbers and plans with the golf course. To register, or for more information or questions, please contact Neal Beggan at nealbeggan@gmail.com and Dennis McGowan at dennis@themcgowans.com or better yet, come see us at our Back To School Night Booth! FORE!!!!!
