Welcome back! The Parent Association met for the first time in person since February 2020 and had record-setting attendance. Our PA Co-Chairs, Allan Quiaoit and Sara Dean, welcomed us back with a big thank you to all parents who have supported St. John during the challenging Covid years. We hope this year will feel closer to pre-Covid times.
PA Roles: We are building out PA teams at each grade level right now and would love your help. There are four PA roles at each grade level with varying commitments. You can see PA role descriptions here and sign up for a role here. With the current state of the pandemic, PA will be returning to many pre-Covid activities with safety in mind.
Back to School BBQ: Join us at the Back to School BBQ Friday, September 9th, 6-9p.m. featuring a performance from School of Rock, activities from Greenwood Scouts and Kong Academy, as well as music from DJ Allan Spins and DJ Robin Burrowes. Try to carpool, bike, or walk to the BBQ. Our neighbors will appreciate it. And don’t forget to sign up to volunteer before, during, or after the event to help make it a success.
Parent Support of St. John: Pablo reminded us of a few ways we can support our kids and our school community – become active in the Parent Association, remain up to date on all school-related information and communications, and volunteer to help events and activities be successful.
Traffic Safety Reminder for Drop Off/Pick Up: Let’s remember to be respectful of the neighborhood when dropping off or picking up our kids. Refer to the Traffic Safety and Driver Etiquette information for more details.
St. John on Social Media: Make sure to follow St. John on Facebook and Instagram for up to date information as well as fun photos. Throughout the year, you can email photos from school activities or events to Jonna Skokan to share with our community.
