Winter Parent Teacher Conferences- Winter conferences will be held this week. All notifications of conferences have been sent out with your student. Some of the sheets will say that I am requesting a conference with you, others say that things are going well and no conference is needed at this time. If a conference was requested, please either confirm the date and time or give me your preference! Our staff is only required to meet with families that we have academic, behavioral, or social emotional concerns about for Winter conferences. However, if you would like to meet with me, I will make time for you! You may choose between virtual and in person conferences as we did in the fall. If you did not receive a conference sheet from your student at all, please let me know!

LUNCH
We would like to remind everyone that breakfast and lunch are FREE again this year to every St Joseph Public School student. Please try to remember to pre-order your student’s lunches when they are going to participate in lunch.  This helps speed up the morning lunch count process.  You will be allowed to order the Friday before the next week using www.sendmoneytoschool.com.
