St. Joseph School Families,
The staff of St. Joseph School would like to extend our prayers to all of our families as we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Throughout the Lenten Season, our school has prepared the students for Easter through daily reflections, Stations of the Cross, a trip to Holy Hill and other activities. Our hope is that we assisted in making this Holy Season one of spiritual growth for our students.
Tomorrow we have an early release (12:00) to begin our Easter Break. Staff and students will have a casual day on Thursday (no need for out of uniform passes). Students will be participating in Stations of the Cross at 11:15. Families are invited to join us in the church at this time.
Upon returning from break there will be a number of events impacting our school children. The Wisconsin Forward Exam will be made available for students enrolled in both The Milwaukee and Wisconsin Choice Program. Students are not required to participate in this assessment. With the addition of the NWEA/MAPS Testing at our school, we have sufficient data to drive our instruction. However, if you wish your child (Grades 3-8) to have this test administered, please notify your child/ren’s teacher no later than April 10th.
Thursday, April 11th Home and School will be meeting at 6:00. The School Committee will also meet that evening at 6:30 (2024-25 school calendar will be shared following this meeting).
On the evening of April 17th there will be a meeting at 6:00 in the school cafeteria. This meeting will be centered on how St. Joseph School will provide extra curricular activities for the 2024-25 school year. Athletics, forensics, musical, clubs etc. will be discussed. We also will be solidifying a mentor program for new families. If you are interested in these offerings or have any suggested activities, you are encouraged to attend this meeting.
Finally, the spring musical will be performed on April 18, 19 and 20 in the school hall. Ticket forms need to be turned into the school office.
I will be in the school office on April 2nd and 3rd if you need to contact me or need a response to any messages. We wish all of our families a blessed and relaxing Easter Break!
Chris
