St. John School Newsletter

St. John Families:
Welcome back and I hope that you enjoyed the nicer weather over the short break! Your teachers spent time over the break participating in professional development related to classroom management and ways to help students of all abilities succeed in the classroom.
A few reminders for this week:
This Friday (2/25/22) is our makeup Student Appreciation Day from Catholic Schools Week. For this event, students are allowed to wear hoodies throughout the school day and the students will have some games and enjoyable activities (as well as some ice cream available at lunch).
This Sunday (2/27/22) is our second OPEN HOUSE of the enrollment season. Please reach out to friends, neighbors, and relatives and encourage them to come see what St. John School is all about. The OPEN HOUSE will be from 1-3 PM.
This weekend will see all of the St. John Basketball teams participate in the parochial league end of season tournaments. Check out the game schedules below and come out to cheer on the team(s)!
Thanks to all of you that sent back your Covid vaccination surveys. We had about a 70% participation rate (which is outstanding for a survey). Based on the responses, we can estimate that close to 60-70% of our students ages 12+ are likely vaccinated and 30-40% of our students ages 5-11 are likely vaccinated. Our information was shared with the Diocesan Schools Office (along with all the other schools’ data). A decision on masking is expected from the Diocese this week.
Peace,
Mr. Mayer
