Dress Code Guidelines

/in /by
Just a reminder to parents that the dress code at SJS also includes guidelines for hair.  Designs cut into hair, colored streaks/highlights, outlandish styles, and “mohawk-style” haircuts (long on top, shaved on sides) are not allowed.  Please note that just because you see a student with a questionable haircut, does not mean that it is acceptable – it has most likely already been addressed by administration.  All students need to be in compliance with the uniform policy.  Students will be given a consequence for disregard of the uniform policy, including hair.  To play it safe, if you are unsure if something is allowed, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  Thank you again for your support and understanding of our school’s policies.

Tardy Reminder

/in /by

Mrs. Zorger would like to remind parents of the importance of getting your child(ren) to school on time each morning.  There were an excessive number of late arrivals this morning.

Please remember, late arrivals are disruptive to the teacher, morning announcements, and the classroom routine.   If you find yourself not making it to school between 7:30am and 7:50am (to be in line with you class by the 7:55 bell), Mrs. Zorger asks that you please take a few moments today to talk to your child/ren about the importance of being punctual and help them readjust their morning schedule accordingly.

Please remember it is our policy (as noted in the parent/student handbook) that 3 unexcused tardy arrivals will result in a detention.

Thank you again for your support of our school policies and procedures.

Parking Announcement

/in /by

Mrs. Zorger would like to send a huge Thank You to everyone for adhering to the parking procedures for morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up.  Your cooperation helps ensure the smooth flow of traffic and the safety of our students/parents/staff.  One additional note:  Please DO NOT PARK in the grassy driveway near the vacant lot at the end of Park Street (on the side of the blue house by the Pre-K).  That driveway/area is for staff parking only.
