St.
Joseph School
Inclement Weather Procedure:
The decision to cancel school due to inclement
weather is made by the Archdiocesan School Office and not on an
individual school basis. Notifications
of school closings are made available to all local news agencies.
Parents/guardians
should look for “Johnson/Wyandotte County Catholic Schools” on local TV or
radio stations. Also, if parents
have signed
up for weekly automatic email updates, a message about school closings will be
sent to that email address as soon as possible.
A recorded message will be left on the school’s answering service as well.
Our school procedure is, that once school
is in session for the day, the administration will not cancel classes
or
dismiss early because of weather. Parents/guardians
are welcome to make arrangements to pick up students early if they wish.
We ask, however, that these arrangements be made as early as
possible so that students are picked up before 3:00 PM.

| Parents: If you have a television or television/vcr that works and you are not using it, please consider donating it to school. We can use 25" or larger TV's for many of the academic programs but we only have a few. |
| Parents and Students: For your safety after school please do not walk straight across from the school to the EEC. You MUST walk in the cross walk. Due to the number of cars after school it is not safe to walk between the cars. Thank you. |
| The following link is the the Parker School Uniforms website. This will eliminate the need for parents to remember the school's code when ordering on-line. You will need to put the id code into the box to get to St. Joseph School KC224309 https://www.parkersu.com/store/?_id=KC224309 |
| ALL Parents: Please note that on Wednesday evening the School of Religion is in session in the Education Center facility. Due to security issues, the SOR director cannot allow grade school students or parents into the building to retrieve forgotten items. We ask that you please be considerate of the parish students having class. Thank you very much. |
|
Reminder: Please do not park on the back parking lot during the school day. You may use it before and after school. During the day park on the north side of the EEC. The back lot is the playground. |

SMILESAFE KIDS - PARTNERS IN
SAFETY: Lifetouch Studios and the National Center for missing and
Exploited Children (NCMEC) welcome you as a partner in the SmileSafe Kids
program, one of America's largest child safety initiatives. What is SmileSafe Kids? The SmileSafe Kids program provides complimentary Safety ID Cards to the families of every student photographed at our school. In the unfortunate situation that a child is missing, information on this card can be used to help coordinate a Rapid Response with NCMEC and law enforcement. ID cards will be sent home with your child in the next few days. |
| TRAFFIC: Please be sure to use your turn signal when applicable during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup. This is most helpful because teachers on duty then know which way to direct traffic. Our goal is to ensure the safety of the children and to keep traffic moving efficiently. Thank you for your continued cooperation. The back parking lot is to be used for a.m. drop off and p.m. pick up. However, during the school day it is the playground for our students. Do NOT park in the back lot during school hours. If there are no spaces in front or south of school please park in the north EEC lot. Thank you. |
|
From the Nurse: Parents, please return borrowed
clothes that are given to your child during the school day. I have
given many shirts, slacks, etc. out and have not received very many
back.
Please send notes with your children regarding appointments or other early dismissal information so they can give them to their teacher. You can also call in the information regarding early dismissal before school starts at 631-7730, ext. 4526. (24 hours a day) This will help get the information to the teachers in a timely manner. Thank you, Donna Lowther. |
| Parent-Student Directories you may send $5.00 to school any day and we will send a Directory home with your child. |
| Mass: Students in grades 1 - 5 will attend 8:15 a.m. Mass every Thursday and students in grades 6,7,8 will attend 8:15 Mass every Friday. Grades 1 - 8 will attend the 8:15 a.m. First Friday Mass each month. |
| Just a reminder to parents of the importance of getting your children to school on time. Learning punctuality is an important step in the education process and helps the child in future endeavors. Arriving after the 8:00 a.m. bell is disruptive to the student's day, as well as the activities of the students already in the classroom. Please help us with this matter. |
| Recycling: We all want to encourage recycling. You can easily help by getting the kids involved. Just bring your old newspapers, magazines, catalogs, junk mail, wrapping paper and even shredded paper (loose paper in plastic bags please) and drop them in the big yellow recycling bin at the south east corner of the new Education Center. No phonebooks or cardboard please (this is a different program than you home recycling program.) The bin is available 24/7 for you convenience. |
| Parents, please sign your child out at the front desk when taking them home because of illness or an appointment, etc. Also, when they come to school after 8:00 a.m. for the first time that day, they do not sign in but will go to the nurse for their admittance slip. |
| Save your used inkjet/laser toner cartridges. The school recycles them. |
| TeacherWeb is linked on the school site. |
| Volunteers are needed with trucks to help the 2nd Wednesday of each month about 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. to help PTO with the Aluminum Can Drive. Please crush cans if possible. Please put in plastic bag clearly marked on the outside with the grade level. Please drip off bag during morning drop off either on the side walk SOUTH of the school building or the EAST circle behind school. |
|
8 1/2 X 11 copy paper: If your company is getting new letterhead or you have paper printed on one side that you do not need, we could use such paper on our copy machines. We make 100's of copies each day of work sheets, tests, etc. and could certainly use donations of paper. |
|

they have replaced them and have used, working equipment. If you
