Returnin to School

School will remain closed tomorrow, Tuesday, August 16th. We will resume on Wednesday, August 17th. We will not have bus service on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, but we will have After Care available on all days. All students who have been impacted by the flooding and are unable to get to school will be excused. If your family was impacted by the flood, please contact Mrs. Ragusa as soon as possible via email so we can begin to compile a list of our SJS families in need of resources. We hope that returning to school will provide parents with a safe environment for their children as they return to work or begin the clean-up process. As always, we are praying for all of our families and will do our best to offer support to our families in need at this time.

Ringing in the New Year

The school bell will be ringing soon! We are excited about our students returning and looking forward to another amazing school year at SJS. This year we will have a family event each quarter. These events will allow time for our school families to come together to share fellowship, fun, and faith. We hope all of our families will join us for these events to help us create lasting memories and relationships. We are stronger when we work and play as a family!

Our event for the first quarter will be August 19th. We will have a Back to School Prayer night. We will pray for all of our students returning to school and we will have snoballs to share with everyone.

Mark your calendar! Please see the flyer below for details.
