Positivity Project 

Mondays are P2 t-shirt days! Please plan to have your child join our staff in wearing his/her t-shirt each and every Monday as we kick off a new character strength. 

This week's Y5-5th grade lessons are focused on "Self Control". You child's teacher will be delivering daily lessons remotely. This is a great opportunity for you to observe the rich dialogue and thoughtful reflections that come from these resources. 

We encourage your family to participate in using this shared language at home for maximum impact. Please access the P2 family site by clicking here to gain more information.  The password is "P2".

Common Sense Media 

Have you had the need to check the content of a movie before enjoying it with your young children? Are you wondering about the content of a new, popular online game? Common Sense Media is a FABULOUS resource for families! It is a perfect place to learn the answers to the questions above and so much more. Check it out today!

Hour of Code

December 7th-13th is Computer Science in Education Week and the annual Hour of Code.  St. Joseph Public Schools has participated in the Hour of Code for many years, and we would like to offer students the opportunity again this year. Mrs. Bacolor will be sharing a coding lesson with 3rd-5th grade students via Google Classroom.  If you would like to do more coding with your child, visit the Hour of Code website for ideas.  There are numerous activities to help your child learn basic coding logic and skills.  If you are looking to reduce screen time, we encourage you to check out the “unplugged” activities.


A special note for families of students in grades 3rd-5th:  One of the choices during the Hour of Code will be building a village in Minecraft focusing on inclusion.  Students choosing this option will be shown how to install Minecraft on their Chromebooks and log into the program using their @stjoebears credentials.  Our district subscribes to the Minecraft for Education platform, and we believe strongly in its educational value.  If your child is interested in this activity, we encourage you to explore it with him or her.  Of course, if you do not want your child using Minecraft at home, there is no expectation that students have to use the program.  Limits and guidance with technology at home are fully supported and appreciated.  We are so thankful for your partnership with our 1:1 computing program.
