SJS Plan to Safely Reopen in September

SJS Plan to Safely Reopen Saint Joseph continues to prepare for the reopening of School in September.  Click hereto see the letter from principal Dr. Paula Valenti giving all the details of the plan. Please note that our reopening is dependent upon the state of the pandemic, CDC guidelines, as well as the NJ Governor's and the Archdiocesan directives. During the initial weeks of school, teachers will reinforce and practice health and safety routines with our students.  The health, safety and emotional well-being of all are our priority while we continue to deliver a world-class Catholic education.

Important Note from our Art Teacher

Important Note

from our Art Teacher

For art class, all students will be required to carry  their own art supplies (i.e., pencils, scissor, glue, markers, etc.--see needed supplies in article below) in their own personal case or bag.  For health and safety reasons, there can be no sharing of art supplies.

Bring Your Lunch from Home

Homemade Lunch The current pandemic requires our flexibility and understanding as we move forward through the process of reopening SJS. We have been informed that Lisa's Kitchen, the SJS lunch provider, will not be returning to school for the 2020-2021 school year.  Therefore, families should plan on brown-bagging lunch until a suitable lunch service provider has been contracted to work the school lunch program.  We continue to work on our social distancing program for lunch and are confident that we will be able to provide students the opportunity to enjoy their homemade lunch in a comfortable environment.
