From the Principal's Desk...
Parents and Guardians,
The staff at St. John the Baptist would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Tomorrow will be a fun filled day of Christmas joy around St. John’s. Students are allowed to wear Christmas shirts, hats, tights, and socks along with their regular uniform bottoms to show our Christmas spirit on our last day before our Christmas Break. I can’t wait to kick off our morning with the whole school attending our Kindergarten pageant. I was at the rehearsal this morning and the students are so excited to sing for the whole school and their parents. We will end our day with our Christmas parties in the primary grades and Christmas treats for the older grades.
I truly hope that each and everyone of you are able to relax and enjoy some family time over the next two weeks. I know the holiday season is hectic and stressful for many, so I hope that you are able to take some time for yourself and your family.
Don’t forget that our last day of school this week will be tomorrow. Our break officially starts on Friday, and we will not return until Monday January 3rd.

Ordering Shopping Cent$ Online
Just a reminder, in addition to our turn-in days through school, Shopping Cent$ can be purchased online (shopwithscrip.com) or through our partner app, Raise Right. Use our enrollment code (A1EFFA5L1L12) to create an account and do your shopping from there! You'll have access to a huge selection of brands, in many different denominations. Your order is shipped with order placed by the coordinator with no shipping costs to you! If you prefer to have your order sent to you directly, you can choose home delivery for a fee through the Raise Right app - ship to home is not available through the website, only the app.
Another benefit of online ordering - you can link your shopwithscrip/Raise Right account to a credit card or bank account (small fees apply) instead of paying by cash or check.
Please note, local restaurants are not available for online purchases.
Let's all support our program this holiday season!

Inclement Weather Plans
Inclement weather plans will be announced on the radio/television/social media as follows:
1. We will follow Northwest Schools. If Northwest Local Schools are closed, we will be closed.
2. Two hour delay. This means school will start two hours later than usual. Transportation will begin two hours later as well. If your transportation is provided by Fairfield or Mt. Healthy, you will need to verify that they are on a two hour delay as well. Otherwise, their transportation schedule will not match that of Northwest Local and your student(s) may not be provided a morning bus.
3. Early Dismissal. This announcement would mean the district would be transporting private and public students home early. Parents need to have a contingency plan in order to deal with this circumstance. In addition, parents will need to remain in contact with local media if adverse weather conditions occur during the school day to determine if Northwest Schools is going to transport students home early. The announcement that will go to the media will be “Northwest Schools will Dismiss Early”. The length of the early dismissal will also be announced, such as "1-hour" or 2 hours".

Mens' Open Gym Basketball
For those guys looking to kick the rust off the gym sneakers, we have men's open gym basketball on Sunday evenings at 9 pm. This is open to any guys looking for a little exercise. We play every Sunday throughout the winter into mid-February (with perhaps the exception around the Holidays and Super Bowl Sunday). We shoot for teams and usually play 5-6 games that last roughly 10 minutes each. If interested, bring both a white shirt and a dark shirt (black/blue).
