Notes From the Office: February 14th, 2022

St. John School Newsletter

February 14, 2022

 

St. John Families:

 

Happy Valentine’s Day.  The students look very colorful and cheerful today!  Just a couple of updates for you.

 

First, you should have received the MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) testing scores for our winter testing session along with a quick reference sheet that helps explain all the information included in the test results.  Overall, I was very happy with the progress that was shown schoolwide.  You can find many studies that have identified the amount of learning loss that the pandemic has caused, so you should know that your student showing growth is a great sign, but to not be overly concerned if the growth was less than hoped.  We are keenly aware that students are overcoming a lot right now and are focusing every morning on reading and language arts.  We will have one more round of MAP testing this spring.  

 

Second, thanks to those of you that have already registered for next school year.  As a reminder, registration is now open to all current families and all parishioners of Ss. Francis and John.  Registration for the general public will start next week.  For those of you looking for ways to help the school, please pass on to your neighbors and friends that our next OPEN HOUSE will be Sunday, February 27th, from 1-3 PM. 

 

Lastly, we will be celebrating our student appreciation day (makeup from the end of Catholic Schools Week) next Friday (2/25/22).  Details will follow and also remember that next week there is no school on Monday or Tuesday.

 

Peace to you all,

 

Mr. Mayer
