Again, thank you for your time and participation!
Attention Bus Riders
Starting this coming Wednesday (10/2) the public schools in town will start their Wednesday early dismissal schedule, which limits the number of buses available for SJS. Please note the following regarding Wednesday (only) buses:
Bus 31, 32, and 134 are combined; Bus 27, 29, 104, and 107 are combined.
All parents with a student that rides the bus will receive an email with their student’s Wednesday stop info sometime today (Friday).
If you do not receive this, please reach out to Amy Guenther.
Sacrament Preparation This Sunday!
Our 2nd grade students enjoyed having Father Matt and Ms. Holmes visit them today to talk about Catholic sacraments, including 1st reconciliation and 1st communion – which many of our 2nd grade students will make this year!
As a reminder, students who will be completing these sacraments and their parents/guardians should attend the 10:00am Mass at St. Bartholomew Church this Sunday, September 29th, and the informational meeting immediately thereafter. You can read the original email HERE.
Good Luck Cross Country
Best of luck to the members of our Cross Country team who will be competing at the Wickham Park Invitational this Saturday!
Many of our dedicated runners and coaches braved the rain on Thursday to get an additional practice in before tomorrow’s competition. Way to Go Sabers!

No School – October 10th
When looking at dates for October, please be sure the calendar you are using shows NO School on Thursday, October 10th – teachers will be at an offsite conference that day. The date of the conference was changed (from 10/3 to 10/10) in early June, so an updated calendar was published on 6.6.2024 (date is shown in red at the bottom right). Please be sure you are using the most recent calendar for days off and early dismissal: 2024-2025 One Page Calendar (Rev 6.6)
