Beta Club

Congratulations to the newest Beta Club members who were inducted into the St Joseph Chapter last week. We are very proud of them. These students are: Hannah Habistritinger, Ali Foster, Hanna Bankston, Sophie Romano, Abigail LeSaicherre, Brayden Thompson, Ashton Vining, Josh McLain, Mason Richard, Case Johnson, Jake Berner, Cole Landry, and Matthew Pellittieri.

From the Office

It is imperative that we are able to contact all of our parents at any time in case of an emergency. Therefore, we encourage our parents to receive the “All-Call” on their cell phones as well as their home phones. An example of this would be in the event of sudden school closure or cancellation of events, programs, or activities.

Once your cell phone number is in our “All-Call” system, we then encourage parents to “opt-in” to the TEXT feature. This will allow you to receive important messages as well, should we have to contact ALL parents at one time. For more detail infomation see the attached form below.

School Communication
