A Word from the Principal Dear St. John Students, Families, and Staff,
Feb. 8th – Monte Carlo Night Feb. 11th – School Council – 6:30pm Feb. 12th – Open House – 9:00am Feb. 14th – Free Dress –
The pride our community has in St. John School was evident last week throughout our celebration of Catholic Schools Week. What an incredible outpour of support from our students, families, and parishioners. I enjoyed having the opportunity to speak with so many of you last Sunday at the Open House. Please invite friends and families who may be interested in enrolling a student at St. John to our upcoming Open House on 2/12 at 9:00 am. Let’s invite others to see the wonderful things that are taking place at St. John School each day. On Wednesday afternoon, while our students enjoyed the afternoon with their families or special persons, the faculty participated in a presentation on the Common Core State Standards. We continue to learn as much as we can about the Common Core Standards in preparation for this transition. We are confident this will be a seamless transition as so much of what the standards entail we are implementing at St. John already.
