School Uniform Update
Uniform is an important part of a school’s identity. It reinforces who we are as a community and helps allow students to feel pride in their school. It would be fair to say that, in the last two weeks, we have a number of interpretations of what is and is not acceptable uniform and we believe it is time to clarify our expectations for students and parents. All students in grades K- 8 should be in school uniform including the uniform shoes.
We will be enforcing the uniform policy and ask that you visit the school website with any questions. Please note that as of November 1, school sweaters and ties are part of the full dress uniform.
Fifty Dollar Friday...every Friday!
We would like to extended a congratulations to this weeks winner:

The next drawing will be on Friday, November 4. Good Luck!

A Special Note From the SJS PTO
We really appreciate everyone who helped to make the 4th Annual Trunk or Treat Fall Festival so SPOOKTACULAR! We had a record breaking number of trunks! This event was successful because of our amazing SJS community's enthusiasm, support, and extremely generous contributions!
We had many volunteers that offered a helping hand to make this a successful event. On behalf of the PTO we would like to thank you!November Menu
