8th to 9th meeting for students and parents-
On Wednesday, February 8th we have a mandatory 8th to 9th grade student and parent meeting at St. Joseph High School beginning at 6:00 P.M. Here are a few of things that will be accomplished:
*Receive 2017-18 Scheduling Materials
*Learn about the High School Scheduling Process

*Meet Department Representatives
*Tour the High School 



8th grade Farewell-
If you are interested in helping with our 8th grade farewell on Friday, June 2nd please email Beth Christy at  beth.christy@yahoo.com  As John Heywood said, "Many hands make light work."



Your help please-
Please do not park in the staff parking lot after school.  We have had some issues with staff getting blocked in and some must get to coaching responsibilities or over to other schools.  We would prefer you park in the main lot.  Thanks for your help with this.



Marking your calendars for February-
Every Wednesday in February is a late start. (1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd)  



Quote of the week-
"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." - Pele




Have a great week,
Mr. Mandarino
