Kindergartners Learn About the Arctic

Today, our Kindergarten students learned all about the Arctic and some of the animals that live there.  The lesson was complimented with an Art project where they learned to draw and paint a penguin on an iceberg (with an igloo).  Here are some pictures from Mrs. Vassallo’s class working on their artwork (click pictures to enlarge).

Tardy Arrivals & Parking

Mrs. Kanute would like to remind parents that students will begin receiving detentions for unexcused tardy arrivals beginning this coming Monday.  Please refer to the January Saber Stories article from Mrs. Kanute regarding this issue.  If your child is late to school (i.e. second bell has run, the breezeway door has closed), you must come in with them to the main office to sign them in, regardless of their grade.

Also, please remember to adhere to the No Parking Signs in front of the school and across the street from the school.  Parents are still parking in marked no-parking zones in the morning and afternoon, creating a safety issue that impacts other SJS parents and children.
