Partnering with the Principal
Within the SAC, there are four standing committees. These committees are Marketing & Enrollment, Strategic Planning, Finance & Development, and Policy. Currently, each committee is working on a SWOT Analysis. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. As the SWOT's are completed, we will develop objectives and action steps to help us meet our goals.
The committees are open to others with experience in the areas mentioned. If you are interested in helping on the committees, please reach out to let us know of your desire to serve on a committee. The committees each meet at 4:00 p.m for one hour, once a month. Not a big commitment, but a big contribution to the success of the school. Thank you for your consideration.
THANK YOU!
Neighbors Inc. was so appreciative of your generosity for the food drive donations. Thank you for helping out the less fortunate with food for Thanksgiving and beyond.

Educate Directory & Report Cards
All parents received a link early in the school year to access Educate. Within Educate, you are able to access an electronic school directory and you will use it to view your child's report card. If you don't have the link any longer, please contact the school office and we can resend your access link.
Watch the video on how to find the directory and to access report cards. If you have any questions, please contact Lori Bruce at lobruce@stjosephwsp.org.
