Changes to SJB Uniforms
Dear Parents,
Beginning with the new school year we will be instituting several changes to our current uniform policy.  The reason for the changes stem from a desire to create a unified look for our school.  As always, we thank you for your support of St. John Bosco Catholic School.

Please carefully review the attached new guidelines before purchasing your uniforms for the 2014-2015 school year.

Click here for a summary of changes.

Important ESP Reminders

ESP will be closed on the following dates:

 

Friday, June 6th is a noon dismissal with NO ESP so our faculty and staff can all attend our end of the year celebration.

 

ESP will be closed starting June 30 and will reopen on July 14  

Heath Office Reminders
  • Please pick up all unused medication in the health office on or before June 6. 8th grade parents can pick up their child's medications any time after graduation.  Any medication left during the summer will be discarded. 
  • Remember to bring a water bottle to school each day and apply sunscreen before coming to school.  Hats are also helpful.
  • With end of the year parties approaching, please check with your teachers before bringing in treats.  Most of our classrooms are Nut Free Zones and several grades have restrictions on foods due to allergies.  
  • Please return any borrowed clothing to our office.  We are missing belts, socks, shorts and shirts.
  • The health office accepts used uniforms that we loan out to students as needed.  We are mostly in need to PE shorts (all sizes), belts, and girls' socks.  If your children have outgrown any of these items, feel free to drop them off at the nurse's office.
