Notes From the Office: August 14th, 2017

St. John Catholic School Notes From the Office: Monday, August 14th, 2017         Weekly Updates         August 2017         Greetings, I am very excited to start the 2017-2018 school year. I feel very fortunate to be at St. John School. We have a very talented and dedicated staff that will offer your children a great Christ centered education.  Click here to view degrees held by our staff. Most of all, we have the best students and parents!!!! I will see you on Wednesday. God bless and take care, Dan Mardell           Here's What's New!!         Change in Early Drop Off Location for 2017-18 Early drop off will begin at 7 AM in the 8th grade classroom this year.  Please drop your child(ren) off at the back door of St. Francis Hall.  Mrs. Reinhart will be there to watch over the students until their classroom doors open at 7:30 AM.  Please contact the school office if you have any questions regarding the before school program.         1st day of school reminders The school day officially begins at 7:50 a.m.  You must enter the parking lot between the Mary and Benedict House and drive around to the double gates to exit the parking lot.  Never enter the school parking lot by the double gates.  This is an exit only during school hours.  For pick up, the gate between the Mary and Benedict House will be opened at 2:50 for cars to enter the parking lot.  We will form lanes in the parking lot.  The left hand lane will exit to the left and the right lane will exit to the right.  Please do not make a left turn onto Main Street during dismissal time. Left turns onto Main Street cause a major backup in school traffic.         Donate Water We are still in need of water for the Finley 5k.  We are encouraging each class to donate 10 cases of water.  The class that donates the most cases of water by Tuesday, August 22nd, will receive a gift card for a pizza party.  Cases of water can be turned in to the school office.         The Family Life Office and Catholic Men, Servant Leaders, are co-sponsoring an event that will address the issue of pornography and its impact on our culture, and how we can protect ourselves and our families from this crisis. We are hosting Peter Kleponis, Ph.D., licensed clinical counselor, author of Integrity Restored: Helping Catholic Families Win the Battle Against Pornography, and creator of the successful Integrity Starts Here! recovery program. He is speaking at the Cathedral of Christ the King on Saturday morning, August 26th, from 9am-noon. The event is free (a free will offering will be received), and childcare is available.          If you drink coke you can help our school raise money!  All you need to do is enter the codes, found under the lid or on the box, at www.coke.com.  The easiest way to locate our school is to search ST JOHN, 40324 in the search box.  You can also turn your lids and box codes into the school office.  If you would like to help enter codes, please email the office at [email protected].         Registration is open to the public.
