Kiwanis Park Days
The City of St. Joseph has reserved the park for our use on certain days within the last 2 weeks of school. Our classes walk down to the park and will spend a couple hours having fun before they return to Lincoln. In the past, we have welcomed parents and families, but that cannot happen this year. We will have one grade at a time and we will supply the supervision. Thank you in advance for understanding, it's been a difficult year, but we are almost able to say that we made it through.

Spring Book Fair
Our SJPS Media Department partnered with Forever Books to 
hold our first ever local virtual book fair! The event opened on Friday, May 7th and will run through Friday, May 21st. Please click here to learn more about this event.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our schools and local businesses, as well as your commitment to engaging children in literature.
Daily Health Screening
If someone in your home is awaiting results of a COVID-19 test, all students need to stay home from school until the results are in. Thank you for your attention to this.
Local Summer Reading Opportunities
Schools of Choice
Schools of Choice applications will be accepted May 3-21. The packet will be available on our website beginning on May 3rd, both on the district home page and all enrollment pages. Those wishing to apply may download, print and complete the forms and return by US mail, email, fax, or they may drop off the packet to the central office (2580 S. Cleveland Avenue, St. Joseph, MI 49085).
Families who resided in the district but moved out during this school year, or are attending our schools via a letter of release, only have to fill out the two-page SOC form. New applicants should complete the SOC form along with the discipline form (and have it signed by the child's current principal).
If we receive more applications than we have openings for, acceptance will be determined by a lottery drawing. We may give preference to current students and siblings of current students.
Families will be instructed to fill out the other enrollment forms online once notified of acceptance. Applicants should not use the online enrollment process for the initial SOC application. Please call our central office at 926-3101 with any questions.
