Your support means the world to us!

Dear Parents,

Partnering with parents is essential to fulfilling the mission of St. John Bosco by educating the whole child—academically, socially, and spiritually. Meeting in person with parents to have meaningful conversations about how to best meet their child's needs is crucial in this process. A sincere thank you to everyone who participated in our spring Parent-Teacher Conferences. These meetings provided a valuable opportunity to work together closely, ensuring we are meeting the needs of each student. With just three months left in the school year, we are excited to continue this journey of learning and fun as we finish "Bulldog strong"!

Dear Parents,

Report cards will be sent via email today by 5:00 pm, and conferences are scheduled next week on February 10, 11, 12, and 13. Please be aware of early dismissal (12:30pm) on all four days to facilitate conferences between teachers and parents. Ensuring prompt pickup or registering with Innovation Learning for aftercare is crucial to allow teachers to start their conferences on schedule.

As we enter into the 3rd Trimester, I want to remind everyone how essential punctuality and regular attendance are to our students’ success throughout the school year. Arriving on time is essential for setting a positive tone for the day. When students are punctual, they can participate in morning prayer, announcements, and engage fully in the initial lessons that lay the groundwork for the entire day’s learning. When students are on time they will benefit from the inspirational start of the day and be ready to absorb new concepts that build throughout their lessons.
