It's hard to believe we are halfway through the summer and it is time for the Back to School sales to ramp up! Below you will find information for each grade level.
Welcome Back Letters with all the necessary school information will go out in the mail sometime during the week August 12. Please remember that specific requests for teachers are not accepted. Within the next week, I should be able to post the school calendar with important back to school dates.
Supply Lists
St. Joseph Public Schools provides all necessary supplies, but if you would like to provide additional supplies here are some suggested items for each grade level.
It is helpful if students have a backpack, a refillable water bottle, and a pair of shoes for gym that can stay at school (optional). If students do not come with these items, we will make sure they have them.
