·  It is a non-uniform day for grades 1-8.

·  Kindergarten students wear their costumes all day.

·  Grades 1-6 will change into their costumes for the parade.

·  Students need to be able to complete this change on their own.

·  Grade 1-6 will be judged on Funniest, Most Effort and Best Group.

·  Kindergarten students will join the parade, but will not be judged.

·  Guests enter the gym for the parade and will be seated on the bleachers. Guests are not to go throughout the building to the classrooms, restrooms, etc. to help students with their costumes.

·  Room Parents will not have access to the classrooms prior to the costume parade.

·  For ease, students may wear any “regular clothes” that are part of their costume to school. For example, if a student is going to dress as a firefighter, they can wear black pants and a black shirt to school, and put on the firefighters gear for the parade.

·  7th Grade’s Edible Haunted Houses and 8th Grade’s Literary Pumpkins will be on display in the gym, and the top three of each will be announced during the costume parade.

·   NEW THIS YEAR: All guests for the Parade need to pre-register for the event. Please fill out the google form for each guest attending. You can enter information for up to 4 people on a form. If you do not have 4 guests, simply enter 'NA and/or 00s' and submit. All pre-registered guests will receive a text message and an email with their Halloween Parade School Pass ID (This pass is event specific. It is a different pass than the one used to sign in/out your student; or to sign in as a visitor at any other event, such as the Living Rosary). The event pass is orange in color and can be saved to your phone wallet by clicking “add” in the top right corner of the pass. You WILL NOT receive an event pass immediately following pre-registration, but should receive it at least 24 hours prior to the event. Pre-Registration will close at noon on Friday 10/27/23.

· Please enter Door A3 with your School Pass ID from 12:35-1:00.

·  Students and those signed up as Room Parents will go to the classrooms after the parade. Just a reminder that all room parents must have completed Safe Parish.

·  We ask that guests exit after the parade so the party for the middle school students can begin in the gym.

·  Please monitor costumes very carefully for good taste and appropriateness. No revealing or frightening costumes are allowed. No weapons or weapon replicas allowed.

Please see below, for opportunities to join our staff! If you are interested in being a substitute teacher or substitute teacher's assistant, please send your resume to Principal Karen Haas!

WDRB will send you a text message announcing the closing if you sign up for this free service at https://my.textcaster.com/asa/Default.aspx?ID=c4f69af1-fcf8-4a83-b929-f0ed22af349a  

Mrs. Barber’s class has been learning about St. John Paul II. Last week they created miniature JPIIs.

The 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students at St. John Paul II Catholic School would like to ask for your support by sponsoring their fall musical, The Wizard of Oz - Youth Edition.  This is the 7th annual fall musical that JPII has brought to the community. The performances will be on Friday, November 17th, Saturday, November 18th, and Sunday, November 19th in the activity center gym. There are three different levels of sponsorship available. We are not asking you to solicit sponsors, but are inviting you personally, or a business you own or work at to become a sponsor. Your generosity will enable the theater department to pay for the royalties, sets, props, and tech equipment. 

If you wish to contribute, please fill out the bottom portion of this form and send it along with a check made payable to “JPII” by Friday, October 27, 2023. If you want your name, or business logo advertised, please email Mrs. Lasher at [email protected] by Friday, October 27, 2023.

Greetings from the cafeteria! We have an exciting announcement - beginning next week on Monday, October 2, students will have another option for a daily entre! In addition to having the option of the main menu item or a chicken sandwich, students will now be able to order an Uncrustable peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich as one of the daily choices. We hope students enjoy this new option!

-Please note, each lunch account is a debit account, not a credit account. Any accounts in arrears of $20 or more will need to bring a sack lunch. Please refer to the JPII Student Handbook in regards to this policy.

-To add money to your child's lunch account, please send a check to the school office. Please note, only one check per family is needed. Lunch accounts are shared amongst siblings. Be sure to write the name(s) of your student(s) in the memo line of the check.
