We are thrilled to announce the successful installation of our new security door at the front entrance. This redesigned doorway represents a significant enhancement to our school's security measures, aimed at safeguarding access to our campus. The entire project, totaling $12,000, has been made possible through the generous contributions of families from both our Early Learning Center and K-8 programs.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who supported our safety and security fundraisers over the past year. Your dedication to ensuring the well-being of our school community is deeply appreciated.

Remember to lock your car!

(Even if you are only coming in for a couple minutes)

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."

-Isaiah 26:3

Our Scholastic Book Fair is coming next week!

Fair Dates: March 4-8

Please make plans to visit our ‘Jungle Book Fair’ during the week of March 4th. This is a great time to grab something for those Easter baskets, stock up in time for summer reading, and perhaps even contribute to your teacher’s wish list.

You can also shop the online fair, set up an E-Wallet for your child to shop the fair without cash, or sign up to help run the fair using the links below.

Shopping Times:

Monday, 3-5:30pm

Tuesday-Friday, 7:30am-1pm, 3-5:30pm

St. John's Extended Care is seeking Before and After School Care Program Leaders who love kids! Our Before and After School Care staff works with children in Kinder-8th grades in a group setting. Staff supervise and interact with the children as they play, eat snacks, do homework, use centers, and do STEAM activities.

We are staffing for January - May 2024, and would like to hire October - December to start training. The pay is $18.00-$19.00 an hour, depending on experience. After school care work hours are from 2:30- 5:45. Before school care is from 6:50am- 8:10am.

NEW Sign up for ELC Staff Snacks

The PTO would like to have volunteers bring the teachers snacks and cool drinks every other Friday morning. We will put the snacks and drinks out for the teachers, if you will bring them at drop-off or pick-up.

Please, no snacks containing nuts, as we want to be cautious of allergies in the ELC. If you bring individually packaged items, it makes it easier for the teachers to grab snacks and go back to their classrooms.

Please see the link below to sign-up for upcoming dates. Thank you all so very much for bringing special treats! It is so appreciated!
