June 8 – New last day of school
June 7 – Kindergarten celebration (subject to change if we need to add days to end of school year)
June 3 – Pre-K celebration  (subject to change if we need to add days to end of school year)

2020-2021 School Year Calendar  (Updated 6-10-20)

The calendar on the SJS website has been updated to reflect these changes.
