Notes From the Office: September 5, 2023

September 5, 2023

St. John Families:

I hope that you had a nice long weekend!  The vast majority of the students have completed their Fall MAP testing, but the testing window remains open while we catch up those students that missed a test last week.  The results are usually ready to send home with our first set of grade reports. 

I am still working to get the replacement hardware for the swing set, so please be patient.  Several of the kids have been asking and we are working on it!

As we look towards the fall, please pay attention to the calendar as there are several events that will be coming up.  Grandparents Day, Penny Wars, and Fall Fest just to name a few.  We have our home cross country meet on September 16th and we still need some volunteers to help with parking that morning.  Please reach out to the office if you can spare a few hours to help us out.  It is a great sports fundraiser for the school!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO GET THOSE RAFFLE TICKETS SOLD to support us with the Fall Fest fundraising.  I think that we are anticipating a large crowd to attend this year and getting those raffle tickets sold to people gives them another reason to come see what we are about!  Thanks for helping us with the biggest fundraising event for the school and parish.

Lastly, we are looking to hire a few additional Afterschool teachers/assistants for our program.  The ad will be posted soon, but if you or someone you know is looking for some part-time hours afterschool, please reach out to me or the school office for details.

Peace,

Mr. Mayer

2023 Focus Forward Conference

Dear Parents,
The Diocese of Lexington is once again partnering with Focus Forward to provide the 2023 Focus Forward Conference. We are excited to give our families and faculty the opportunity to get the support you need with students who have ADHD and learning differences from the experts.
The Conference will be offered in two ways this year.
• Virtual Conference (Friday, Oct 20, 2023) FREE (Plus an Optional Updgrade)Online Conference Platform

You have the opportunity to meet 8 experts in the field of ADHD and learning differences to help you understand your student’s struggles. Each speaker has been selected to help in many areas of ADHD and learning difference including Nutrition, Sensory Develpoment, Anxiety, Play Development, Dyslexia, Attention and Behavior, and Understanding ADHD.
• In-Person Conference (Saturday, Oct 21, 2023) Limited to 100 People
Good Shepard Catholic School, Frankfort This is an expansion of the Virtual Conference. After you understand the struggles, this will then put everything learned into practice. Everyone who attends will work in small groups with an expert coach to develop apersonalized plan to help your student be successful with their current struggles. Everyone will walk away knowing their next steps. Local resources will be available to ensure you have all the tools you need. This is for both parents and a separate section for faculty.
Below is the link to register for the conference today. A portion of proceeds of the conference will be donated to the Catholic Education Opportunities Foundation (CEOF) which directly supports our Catholic Schools with students’ tuition assistance. 50% of proceeds of the in-person conference will go to our host school.
