Dear Families,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your donations and support for our Boosterthon fundraiser. We have raised $61,000. It was such a great event and I hope the students came home tired and happy.

Today our 4th grade teacher Ms. Michael resigned her position. I am actively looking for a certified teacher.The position is posted on School Spring and the Diocesan website. If you know someone who is interested please let me know. I ask for prayers as we navigate this sudden change.

Parent teacher conferences are going to be here before we know it. They are November 11th which is a full day off for students and November 12th which is an 11:30 dismissal with more parent teacher conferences afterward. The change this year is that middle school students in grades 6th - 8th accompany the parent to the conference if at all possible. It is important for them to hear everything being discussed.  Sign ups will come out soon.

Looking forward to trunk or treat next week. Thank you for all you do.

Make me an instrument of your peace. 

St. Joseph, pray for us.

​Peace, 

Mrs. Stich

St. Joseph Catholic School has implemented a 12-hour family service requirement. All families are encouraged to participate, and many opportunities exist to volunteer time, talent, or treasure, including class field trips, parties or other classroom help, cafeteria, recess and hands-on activities such as art or outdoor classroom activities. The PTO also has numerous opportunities such as the annual auction, Pizza Friday, Used Uniform sales, Donut Sundays, etc. All volunteers must complete the Child Protection Program as they will have substantial contact with students. Families that do not participate in the service program will be charged a $120.00 fee, or partial fee of $10 per hour for hours not volunteered.
