Proceeds from the book
fair build our classroom and school libraries and are divided among our
teachers and librarians. At the book fair, look for the Classroom Wish
lists created by our teachers – it’s a great opportunity to donate books
directly to a teacher or classroom. You may also purchase a gift
certificate for a teacher or classroom so they may select items they
need for the classroom.
One for books – look
for our $1 for books donation box at the fair. Donations collected at
the book fair will be used to purchase books for the St Joseph Parish
library. Scholastic matches every dollar donation with a book donation
to one of their charities. For more information about this program,
visit the fair homepage.
Payments accepted at
the fair include cash, checks and credit card for payments – please make

more opportunities to shop the book fair.

Parent/Student Handbook
Revisions and Addendum to the Parent/Student Handbook
Today in your Thursday envelope you will find three new pages to
replace revised policies. The pages are numbered and
should be very easy to replace in your Parent/Student handbook. The
handbook is in your white family “mini” binder which also holds your SJS
directory. The following revision and addendum have been made:
Addendum.09.23.09.MMJ – Page 34
Under Illness and Injury
When a student is injured a note from the parent is required to excuse
their student from P.E. for the day. A student with a more serious
injury requires a note from a doctor stating how long the student is
expected to be excused from P.E. A note is also required for the student
to resume participation. A student wearing a cast, brace, splint, boot
etc that is rigid, may not participate in P.E. activities due to injury
risk to other students.
Revision.09.23.09.MMJ – Page 48 (please replace pages 47,48,49 & 50)
Under Uniforms
Shoes must have a back (no clogs), no boots, no high-top tennis shoes,
