The Art Show yesterday was a big success! Student work looked fantastic in frames and displayed the skill and creativity of our SJS artists. It was wonderful to see families together again at this event. It's not too late to purchase framed work. The online show runs through tomorrow, April 30. You can order framed originals and/or framed reproductions (even if you picked up the originals). You can select ship to school or home (for an additional $10). That way, you can send a framed work to a grandparent, for example. These orders, along with reproductions previously ordered, will arrive in about 3 weeks for pick up at the office. Mrs. Sears will notify you by email when they arrive. For work that was paid for, but not picked up at yesterday's show, they will be at the office and can be picked up there.Mrs. Sears will send an email reminder to let you know they are there. Finally, Congratulations to our Art Supply Raffle Winner, Alyssa J.!
Thanks to all who supported this effort.

SJS Sick Policy
As expected at this time of the year, we are experiencing an increased number of illnesses such as seasonal allergies and its complications (ear, conjunctivitis and sinus infections), streptococcus infection, stomach virus, influenza (flu), common cold, unknown viral infection with fever lasts on the average 3-5 days and covid infection.
As a reminder, in order to minimize spread to others, if your child is sick or complaining of not feeling well, please keep them home monitor for illness and make sure they are feeling well before sending them back to school. Your child must be 24 hours fever/vomit/diarrhea free without taking any over the counter medication before they can return to school. And, if their symptoms warrant a doctor's visit, please have them evaluated by a healthcare provider with a note if applicable prior to returning to school. If your child has a sibling in the school, we ask that you keep everyone home until the sick child has a diagnosis for their symptoms OR has been medically cleared. Household contact is considered continuous transmission; this is an extra layer in place to help prevent the spread of illness to other students while waiting for a diagnosis for your sick child

April is Month of the Military Child
Throughout the Nation and Commonwealth educators and communities will take time in April to recognize the contributions of children whose parents serve in the military. Frequent moves, family separations through deployments, and reintegration following deployments can make school, home, and community-life challenging for military children. Yet, even in such circumstances, these students continually demonstrate resilience and courage (VDOE). Purple represents the blending of the colors of the five branches of our armed forces. Here in Virginia, we are proud to be home to Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, National Guard and Reserve families (VDOE)
