Introducing E-Learning Days :)
We are excited to introduce to our school this year E-Learning Days for inclement weather/emergency closings. In the past, if a snow day was called, an Emergency Day was added to the end of the school year. School Code Section 10-20.56 created guidelines in the definition of an e-Learning Day, and the Office of Catholic Schools has approved the use of four E-Learning Days in an academic year. However, unforeseen circumstances could still necessitate the use of “Emergency Days” that will be added to the end of the year.
See link below to read the E-Learning Policy.

Sixteenth Week of School
Last Friday we had our beautiful Christmas Program where the kids acted and sang their hearts out in anticipation of Christ's birth. Thank you to all who came out to see the children perform. Also, thank you to Fr. Michael for allowing us to use the church for the program. This Christmas spirit carried us through the week as we prepared for the coming of Christ's birth. Today we will celebrate by having classroom parties. In total we received 90+ letters from students, parents, family members, teachers, and alumni in support of the school. The letters will be sent to Cardinal Cupich compelling him to keep our school open for the benefit of the Round Lake and surrounding communities. Please continue to pray that he makes the decision to keep our school open. We hope everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas vacation. May God continue to bestow his blessings upon us all!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Peace and joy,
Mrs. Rybarczyk
Lucky to be Principal of SJS
