IMPORTANT DATES, REMINDERS, & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Thank You Thank You Thank You!

Thank you to our wonderful St. John's Parish Day School community for your dedication to adhering to our carline safety procedures! Since last week, we have had smoother carlines during drop-off and pick-up and have not backed up to Frederick Road once. We are so grateful for your commitment to the safety of our students and staff on campus, and look forward to continuing our successful carline procedures. Go Bears!

TOMORROW: School Closed for Conferences

Friday, February 2nd

School will be closed for conferences tomorrow. All parents should have received an email from your child(ren)’s teacher(s) to schedule your conferences. Conferences are great way to learn about your child’s accomplishments in the classroom, and discuss any areas with room for improvement. Please reach out to your child(ren)’s teacher(s) immediately if you have not scheduled your in-person conferences already.

DON'T FORGET to stop by the Main Lobby tomorrow morning before or after your conference for First Friday Festivities! Faculty and staff members will be in the Main Lobby from 8:00 AM- 11:00 AM with coffee, hot chocolate, assorted fruit, and other breakfast treats. We hope to see you there!
