Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a great week. A few warmer days throughout the week was nice to have.

Pre-Absence Forms

We are phasing out the pre-absence forms. Parents are no longer required to complete the pre-absence form when going on vacation or taking multiple days off. From now on, please report pre-absences online through the website or email your child’s teacher and copy Mrs. Armstrong at [email protected].

Dress Code Reminders

We were a little lenient during Catholic Schools Week on dress code to allow the students to have fun, however just a few dress code reminders.

  • Pajama bottoms are not permitted on a dress down day.

  • No slides or slippers are permitted on a dress down day.   All shoes must have a back to them.

  • Shorts are only allowed to be worn until October 31 and starting up again in May.

    • Students are not to wear shorts and leggings/tights underneath.

  • Students should only wear one bracelet on their wrist.

  • Girls only wear one pair of earrings to be worn in the ear.

  • 1st – 8th grade students are not permitted to wear gym shoes with their regular school uniform.

  • Only SJJ approved uniform sweatshirts are permitted

    • No hoodies of any kind are permitted during the school day.

  • AirPods are not allowed.

Students will start receiving demerits for any dress code violation.

Angel Scholarship Fund

Thank you! I want to thank all those that paid it forward by donating to the Angel Scholarship Fund. We had nearly $40,000 of Ohio income tax credit directed towards Sts. Joseph and John. We will be putting those dollars to good use inviting more families to consider affordable Catholic Education for their children. As you know, Sts. Joseph and John strives to provide an environment where one encounters Jesus, the first step to becoming a missionary disciple – a person who reaches out in service to God and one another – ultimately leading the student to a closer relationship with Christ. I am so very grateful. As you prepare and file your state tax this year, please check with your tax preparer about the Angel Scholarship Fund and consider learning more about it by visiting www.sjjschool.org/angel. Any and all support in 2023 is greatly appreciated.
