St. John Nepomuk Catholic School
Mission Statement
The Countdown is On!
Dear St. John Families,
I wanted to send a quick communication to help you prepare for the first week of school. We are just a few hours away from kicking off our first day!
The most pressing update is a reminder that students in grades K-8 will attend Mass on Tuesday, August 15 at 9:00 am for the Feast of the Assumption. Please refer to the Dress Code section of the handbook if you have questions about the required mass dress uniform.
Summer Reading & Math Assignments are due on Monday, August 14. Please send completed assignments with your child on the first day of school.
There are many other important updates below. The first Thursday Newsletter of the school year will be sent on Thursday, August 17.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Natalie Johnson
Principal

St. John Nepomuk Catholic School feels it is very important that all school employees are able to attend school Mass each week. If your child is later than 8:20 on a Mass day YOU MUST bring your child to the Church and check them in with his/her teacher. If your child is in PK3 or PK4, please report to the outside accessible classroom door.
If you didn't order your SJN fleece on Back to School night, but would like one, now is the time. All orders need to be turned in by Friday, September 1. If you have questions, please call 354.2509.
