Dear Parents,

NOTE: No Bulldog Bite next Friday due to Fall Break/Diocesan In-service. The next Bite will be sent on Fr, Oct 13.

I am looking forward to our 22nd Annual SJB Gala tomorrow night! However, if you cannot join us in person, rest assured that you can still participate in the Online Silent Auction.

Dear Parents,

We have reached the midpoint of the first trimester. Today, parents of students in grades K–8 will receive a progress report via email. This report offers a glimpse into your child's performance during the initial six weeks of the school year. It also serves as a reminder that there are approximately six more weeks available for students and parents to enhance or sustain their current grades before the grading period concludes and report cards are distributed on Tuesday, November 7.

Dear Parents,

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Girl Scouts for leading the Patriot Day flag-raising ceremony and to the Student Council for their reverent prayer service to commemorate the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Gathering our entire school community in front of the school for this solemn occasion was a touching and meaningful experience. Together we joined in prayer and reflection honoring the memory of those who lost their lives on that fateful day.

Dear Parents,

Next week — Monday, September 11 to Friday, September 15 — benchmark testing sessions are scheduled. These assessments encompass Acadience (formerly known as DIBELS) and Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) and provide teachers vital data on your child’s academic growth. Please understand the significance of punctuality and regular attendance during this week.

Dear Parents,

We would kindly appreciate everyone following the parking lot rules to ensure the safety of our community and facilitate traffic flow. Thank you for using patience and care as you navigate through the parking lot each day. Please do not drop your children off in the north parking lot. According to our Parent/Student Handbook, students must be walked to the front gate or classroom to ensure their safe arrival to the school grounds. If you are in a hurry to get to and from school, consider utilizing our efficient valet carpool service.
