What is the
Home and School Association (H.S.A.)
The main purpose of the Saint Joseph Home and School Association is:   

  1. To foster an understanding of the mission, goals, and spirit of Saint Joseph School.
  2. To promote open communications and cooperation among parents, guardians, faculty, and school administration.
  3. To provide parents and teachers with the information to aid in all aspects of education and the students' growth and development.
  4. To direct and coordinate parental support for Saint Joseph School through educational activities, religious and social functions, as well as fund-raising projects through collaboration with Saint Joseph School faculty and administration.
H.S.A. Kick-off Meeting: Tuesday, September 7th

Membership in the H.S.A. consists of all fathers, mothers, and guardians of the students of Saint Joseph School as well as members of the faculty. Meetings occur on the first Tuesday of the month. Therefore, we invite you to our 2021-2022 kick-off meeting this Tuesday at 6:30 pm in the Parish Center. Please email hsa@sjs-webster.com for additional information.

We hope you can attend! The Executive Board, including our new chairperson Kristy Surowaniec, welcomes your suggestions and ideas.

Let's make this a great year for our children!
Student Cookout and Service Hour Opportunities
On Wednesday, September 8th we will hold our annual Back-to-School Cookout. The weather looks like it's going to cooperate, so the students will gather outside to enjoy hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and a delicious dessert courtesy of Fr. Gregory.

In order for this to be a success, we are looking for a few volunteers for approximately 4 hours. We need help setting-up the table & chairs, serving the food (masks & gloves MUST be worn), and cleaning and breaking-down the tables & chairs.

Volunteers should plan to arrive at approximately 9:30 am.

Please email secretary@sjs-webster.com if you can help. You MUST pre-register to volunteer. Thank you in advance! This is always a fun event for our students.
MORE Service Hour Opportunities
A big "Thank you" to the parents who volunteered to remove the wallpaper!

  • Volunteers are needed on the morning of Saturday, September 11th to assist with directing vehicles in the school yard during the Worcester Catholic Women's Conference. You will need to arrive at the school by 7:00 am.
  • Following the Worcester Catholic Women's Conference on Saturday, September 11th, volunteers are needed to break-down tables, pick-up the carpets off the gym floor, and set-up the cafeteria for our students. You will need to arrive at the gymnasium at 5:00 pm.
