Dear Parents,

Thank you to all who attended Curriculum Night. I was pleased to present our 2024-2028 St. John Bosco Strategic Plan, a vision that will guide us over the next five years. A special thank you to Mr. Hogan Macdonald, Mrs. Krissy Bileski, Mrs. Theresa Harvey, Mrs. Jena Gump, Mrs. Kelly Rafford, Mrs. Seann Richardson, and Mr. Sam Root for their input and for bringing this plan to life.

I also proudly shared the results from our 2024 IOWA Spring assessments, showcasing SJB's ranking in the top 6 for all grade levels amongst the 29 Phoenix Diocese Catholic Schools. Further, last year's 8th grade class ranked #2 and placed at a college-level grade-equivalent average of all subjects.

This impressive data is a testament to our highly-trained faculty, attentive staff, administrative vision, diligent students, and caring, involved parents — it truly takes a village to produce these results.

Our school’s success is built on the strong partnership between parents and staff. Your involvement is crucial to your child's educational journey. At St. John Bosco, we are committed to fostering a community where respect and role modeling are at the forefront, with parents and staff setting the example for our students. To this end, I ask for your continued cooperation in ensuring student safety. Please use the north lot for parking only and escort your child to the front gate or their class. This is essential for maintaining a secure environment. Avoid dropping off your child in the lot and backing into parking spaces, and only park in designated spots, never in fire lanes. For those using our valet carpool service, please remain in your vehicle while teachers and staff assist your child. This will help us expedite a safe process.

I look forward to seeing you all at next Sunday's Family Spirit Day at Top Golf in Gilbert, organized by our SJB Dads' Club. It promises to be a fun day of connection and community building.

Your ongoing support is invaluable. Thank you for being such an essential part of our school community.
