I am very excited about the 2019-2020 school year. As many of you already know, Erica Bilotta will be heading up the new “Academic Achievement Program - Providing a Pathway to Student Success.” This program will provide student support and enrichment at our school. We have several strong candidates that have submitted applications for the 3rd grade position and we will start interviews this week. Lastly, we are also examining ways to make our discipline code and Peacebuilder program more effective. Thank you for all your help in making SJS a wonderful place for your children to grow academically and spiritually.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
P.S. The school office will be closed Thursday, July 4th.
