Employment Opportunities with SJPS
St. Joseph Public Schools have employment opportunities available for substitute teachers. If you have 60 college credits and are interested in joining our schools as a guest teacher, please consider applying through EduStaff here.
In addition, we are searching for a candidate that would like to be our coordinator/check-in for the HS field house community hours. Hours would include Sunday-Thursday 6:15-8:45 at $10/hour. If you are interested, or you know of anyone that would be interested and would be a great fit, please reach out to Kevin Guzzo: kguzzo@sjschools.org.
The job would start as soon as possible so that we can get the field house track open to the community.
Media Center News
As a part of our focus on digital citizenship, we are sending home a consent form with your child in the next few days. This General Website Use Consent Form requires a parental signature for St. Joseph Public Schools to be able to provide your student with the web-based tools and applications we use for learning. Please read over the form and return it to school as soon as possible. Thank you.
Fall Weather
Fall weather can be unpredictable! Please be sure your child is coming to school each day dressed in layers with appropriate outerwear. This will ensure he/she is able to make the most of all our outdoor time. The temps can vary a lot from 8:15 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Thanksgiving Luncheon
Thursday, November 15th is our traditional Thanksgiving Luncheon. This annual event includes a family style meal prepared by our kitchen and served by many parent volunteers. Our Kindergarteners will delight us with singing prior to the meal as well! Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate parent visitors at lunch on this day. In order to attend, you must be a volunteer, sign-up information will come home soon.
Stuff-a-Truck Food Drive
Lincoln School Student Council is proud to help connect our school community with the larger Berrien County community by collecting non-perishable food items (canned goods, boxed dinner/pasta) now through Wednesday, November 7th.
If you are able, simply pick up items at the grocery store, and send it to school with your child to be donated in his/her classroom collection box.
Our collection begins now because there is a greater need for food around the holiday season.
In addition to the positive feelings that occur with giving to those in need, there is a classroom incentive for the class that donates the most perishable food items to this cause.
This event is sponsored by 97.5 Y Country and Rogers. Items are donated to the Southwest Michigan Action Agency.
Operation Coats
Please consider donating new or gently worn coats to Operation Coats, sponsored by the Women's Service League. The donation box is located in our office vestibule. Thank you for helping to keep our community members warm this winter!
