Weekly Updates
February 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,
Dan Mardell
