The excitement is back at St. John School. The teachers are ready and the school is clean. It was great to see everyone at orientation. I am really looking forward to the start of school on Wednesday. There will be a few changes. The playground / parking lot will be repaved and this will really enhance the look of our school. Also, Josh Smith will be leaving to teach at the International School of Egypt. Mr. Smith has done an excellent job with our music and band programs. We will miss his presence on our campus. Please keep Josh in your prayers as he embarks on this new journey. Lastly, keep St. John School and SS. Francis and John Parish in your prayers.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
If our parking lot is still closed on Wednesday, please park in the Georgetown College gravel lot or the Georgetown gym parking lot. You will have to walk your students down to St. John. Please be patient until our lot is finished.
Our first school mass will be held on Friday, August 15th. Your child does not have to wear their mass uniform on this day.
Here's What's New:
Festival Basket Update
Thank you to all the SJS Parents who have graciously contributed to the baskets for the Festival. We collected an amazing amount of goodies at Orientation. If you forgot to bring your donation to Orientation, please send it in with your child the first day of school. We will be putting the baskets together the end of this week. Again thanks for all the wonderful help! The baskets are going to look really great.
DC Trip Payments (6th &7th grade parents)
We have collected 2 payments of $100 per person attending the 7th/8th grade trip next Fall. If you have not received information contact Joanne Andres. If you have not made these payments, please turn them in to the office by Friday, August 22nd.

Please check out the school website to print a copy of the school supply lists. You may also stop by the school office from 9-12 to pick up a copy.
Used Uniforms

Athletics

Soccer registrations are due by
Wednesday. Please turn them all in to the office. You can download the registration forms from the athletic page on our website.
Bingo
Please check your orientation folders for your bingo team information and return the page indicating your evening preference by Wednesday. We are asking each family to provide one representative to help out one night a month. This is our major fund raiser and keeps our tuition low.
