Principal’s Message:

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with many blessings. As we move into the Spring semester, the calendar is very full! Please remember to check our school calendar under the Community Section on our website. We will be practicing our various emergency drills during the month of January. Parents will be notified via our message system on the day we practice our Lockdown procedures.

Re-Registration forms will go home on January 20th in the Wednesday packet. Our Open House for prospective families will take place on February 16th. Please send us information if you know of families who are interested in attending SJS. We will include them in our mailing list to receive an invitation to our Open House.

With Faith, Hope, and Love,

Mrs. Ragusa

Sock Hop
