PSA: New Family Welcome
Dear Saint Joe's New Student Families,
On behalf of the Saint Joseph School parents, we would like to extend a warm welcome as you start a new school experience.
The school has scheduled the below events to help ease the transition:
- All students in the Little Sharks (2.9), Pre-School, and Pre-K classes are invited to an orientation in the Early Childhood School Building to allow your child an opportunity to meet his/her teacher and classmates before the first day of school.
- All students entering Kindergarten are invited to attend an orientation in our Lower School Building.
- New students in grades 1-4 are also invited to attend an orientation where they will learn their way around the buildings, and meet students and teachers in their grade.
- All students entering Grades 5 and 6 are invited to attend an orientation in our Upper School Building.
- New students in grades 7-8 are also invited to attend an orientation where they will learn their way around the buildings, and meet students and teachers in their grade.
