2019-2020 Enrollment Surveys
Thank you for taking a few moments to help us plan for next year's grade level sections by completing one of the surveys linked below by Wednesday, April 17th.
Resident Survey - intended for families that live within St. Joseph Public Schools boundaries
Non-Resident Survey - intended for families that live outside of St. Joseph Public Schools boundaries
Student Placement
We try to use our best professional judgment to create balanced classes. We consider the following factors when making class lists:
- An even distribution of students according to ability;
- A fair balance of boys and girls in a classroom;
- A fair distribution of students who demand more care and attention from teacher; and,
- The mixture of students’ personalities and probable “fit” as a class.
Parents may submit written information for staff to consider for student placement. Specific requests for teachers are not accepted.

M-STEP Testing
Students in grades 3-8 all across Michigan will be taking the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) assessments this spring. Like last year, the M-STEP will be given online. The fifth graders are the first to test and will be starting the assessments this week. The third and fourth grade windows for testing begins April 29th.
The M-STEP measures current student knowledge of Michigan’s high academic standards in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies. A robust set of resources related to the M-STEP is available online at www.michigan.gov/mstep. The resources linked below were specifically developed for parents.
- Student Testing, What Parents Can do to Help Students Prepare
- Michigan's System Education Assessment, What It Is, What It Means, and What It Offers
There are many field trips coming up on the Lincoln School calendar. If you plan on chaperoning, volunteer forms must be on file and processed before the trip. Please allow at least a week for processing. You may pick up forms in the office or call us to have them sent home with your child.
