Weekly Top for 11-12-21

 Folks,

Conferences-

Thanks for your time, conversations, and dedication yesterday afternoon and evening!  I know it was a different way of doing it again, but it was a great day!  Thanks to our wonderful UPTO for the tasty lunch!

Musical Preview this Monday-

St. Joseph is alive with the sound of music!   I hope you are as excited as I am to see Cassidy, Beth, and Burke lead our kids in the musical preview teaser on Monday.  It is our hope that many people will want to see the full show!  Remember that we will load the buses as close to 12:40ish as possible.  Please make sure you watch over the students in your 5th hour who you/we might be slightly worried about their audience etiquette! 

School Improvement Meeting this Monday-

We will have a school improvement meeting after school this Monday, November 15th beginning at 2:55 PM in the media center.

Pledge of Allegiance-

Each 1st hour your student council representative should lead your first hour in the pledge.  Board policy 8800 states: " All students in attendance at school will be provided an opportunity to recite the Pledge each day that school is in session. However, no student shall be compelled to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. No student shall be penalized for failure to participate in the Pledge and the professional staff shall protect any such students from bullying as a result of their not participating in the Pledge." I will say a few more words about this Monday at our meeting.
