9/20 Back to School Night
Partnering with families to ensure a positive school experience is a top priority for our staff. We look forward to beginning this partnership on the evening of September 20th during our Back to School Night event. Important information will be presented by your child's teacher, setting him/her up for success this school year. This adult-only event is for parents/guardians of first-fifth graders. At this meeting, you will receive details on curriculum, classroom expectations and schedules, field trips etc... Please see the schedule below for session times.
1st through 3 grade: 6:00 p.m. - 6:45 p.m.
4th & 5th grade: 5:00 p.m. - 5:45 p.m.
If you have multiple children and they happen to overlap, try to have 2 adults present and split. We will also be able to provide information after, but nothing is the same as being there!
Please note that parking may be a challenge. We suggest that you carpool or walk, if that is an option for you. Feel free to use any parking lot around the school. All of our entry doors will be open that evening.

Arrival and Dismissal RoutinesWe want to thank you for your patience with transportation and drop-off/pick-up routines this past week. As we work to teach procedures and travel around construction, traffic hasn't been moving as quickly as it typically does. We are confident things will be more efficient this week with a few reminders and additional practice. As a reminder, here is the map:
Lunch Menu for the Week of September 13th
We would like to remind everyone that breakfast and lunch are FREE again this year to every St. Joseph Public School student. Please try to remember to pre-order your student’s lunches when they are going to participate in lunch. This helps speed up the morning lunch count process. You will be allowed to order the Friday before the next week using
www.sendmoneytoschool.com.
Due to the supply chain issues we are having with our vendors and food outages we will be providing a one week menu on our website and Principal blogs before the next week. This will alleviate us having to make constant changes to a monthly menu and keep you better informed.
9/13/21 – Chicken patty sandwich, sweet potato tots, fruit choice and milk
9/14/21 – Mini pancakes, vegetable choice, sausage patty, fruit choice and milk
9/15/21 – Cheese pizza, corn, fruit choice and milk
