Welcome Back!!

I hope all of you are excited to be back at St. Joseph School!!! I look forward to working with you to educate our beautiful children.

 

This year we are beginning our Accreditation process.  For some experienced families you know that our last accreditation was in 2013 and we received the highest mark of a 6 year term! As a school, we begin the accreditation with a self-study report.  This is a year long process that includes input from parents, students, staff, and shareholders.  The accreditation process is through Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA), a Catholic Schools Accrediting Commission.  Please see attached letter.

 

This week at St. Joseph School:

Monday - No School, Labor Day

Tuesday - 1st day of school, family packets, SCRIP, permission slip (1st-8th), technology consent form

Wednesday - 

Thursday - 

Friday - School Mass 9am, full dress uniform, early dismissal 3pm

 

We have Puyallup State Fair tickets!!! If you and your family are planning to go to the Puyallup Fair we have a ticket for free admission for your student(s).  This is an $11-$14 value.  Just ask for them at the school office!

 

If you are not receiving our Parent Square messages, please let us know right away!  This is one of our best communication tools, with the ability to collaborate together with your child's class or the whole school.

 

We will be talking to students about our cell phone policy and then asking them to sign the policy and have parents sign the policy also. The cell phone policy is for all students, but the signed acknowledgement is for 5th-8th grade students.
