Notes From the Office: Tuesday, February 19th, 2019

Greetings,

 

There are many exciting things happening at St. John School. Our elementary robotics teams finished 3rd and 9th at the state competition. They did an excellent job and missed first place by one point. Our middle school robotics team resumes competition next week and will be heading to Iowa for the US Robotics Championships in March. Our basketball teams will start tournament play this weekend. All the teams are having great seasons. Lastly, we finished up winter MAP testing and we are seeing many good things. We use the winter assessment tool to see how students are progressing and  make adjustments that will help students in their academics.

 

God bless and take care,

 

Current families, please submit your online registration as soon as possible.  Registration fees are due by March 1st.  After March 1st, the registration fee increases to $200 for returning students.

 

Our Annual Battle for the Rock Pep Rally will be on Friday, February 22nd at 1pm in the Georgetown College gym.  All are welcome to come cheer on our basketball teams and cheerleaders.
