PARENTS OF FUTURE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS

(parents of current 4th grade students)

As your child is quickly approaching Middle School, we would like to invite you to a future Middle School parent meeting. This meeting will be held on Tuesday June 4th at 6:00pm in the school library. The Middle School teaching team, along with Mr. Multhauf, will be discussing the transition to middle school, expectations for 6th grade, and answering any questions you may have.

Gratefully,

Chris

Thank you to Home & School and the 8th grade parents for treating the 8th grade students and staff (past and present) to a delicious Mexican Fiesta on Wednesday! Everyone enjoyed an amazing lunch while chatting with the outgoing class of 2024. Thank you also to the 7th grade class for serving and the food and drinks and helping with cleanup!

Week of May 28th - June 4th, 2024

The last guidance lesson is coping skill stations/centers, the students love the various activities to try that can keep their mind and body busy. We are making art work, jewelry, journaling, playing games, and doing exercises and stretches to name a few.

It has been a great first year at St. Joes. Thank you for the opportunity to work with your children this year. If you have any suggestions or feedback for me moving forward please let me know, I would love to hear from you! I hope to see you all next year! Have a blessed, safe summer!

Hello St. Joseph Families -

I will be offering guitar and ukulele lessons again this summer at school.

Right now, I am planning to teach on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays starting the week of June 10th.

Because of my wedding, honeymoon, and a music camp that I'm working at in Madison, I will not be teaching lessons from June 24th-July 21st. We will start lessons again the week of July 22nd.

If you are interested in summer lessons for your child, please let me know what your general availability is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (for example: am/pm, any time after 10 am, etc.). Once I have everyone's availability, I will send out a tentative schedule.

Thanks!
