Happy Veterans Day! -
Today we thank/remember all those that have served our country!
Thanks for coming! -
We appreciate you coming over to SJHS last Thursday for parent-teacher conferences. The attendance was very good! Our teachers really enjoyed the opportunity to meet with you. If however, you needed more time for a discussion a separate meeting can always be arranged. Remember also that report cards are not printed for 6-12th grades, so you can go into PowerSchool under Q1 for grades.
Inclement Weather-
Please remember that in weather like today to leave the house a few minutes earlier. The drop-off line always increases when we have snow. Please also play nice in the parking lot! Student safety has to be followed at all times. We do not have a person at the middle school who is paid to be outside in the morning for drop-offs. We also have to stress again to not turn left when heading west on Maiden Lane in the AM. This causes traffic to be slowed down tremendously.
Picture Retakes Cancelled today-
The picture company that comes from out of town could not make it in this morning for picture retakes. Picture retakes will now be this Friday, November 15th. This picture retake day will be for everyone that has not yet had their picture taken or if you want a different one. If it is a retake the original packet must come back with your daughter/son.
