Travel Release Form: New this year! Parents requesting to transport their student to or from an off-campus activity must complete THIS FORM at least 24 hours in advance. Students are expected to ride the bus to and from field trips or off-campus activities, and families will be contacted once their request has been reviewed and approved. Thank you for helping keep our students safe and accounted for.

Athletic Wear Policy: Please see THIS LETTER from Principal Kapinos regarding an update to the Athletic Wear Policy.

Hot Dog Day: Friday, Sept 18. This is a long-standing tradition at SJS. Held once a month, it is a fun dress down day for students. See the Uniform Policy for dress down day guidelines. Participation is optional.

  • Cost: Covered by H&S
  • Students are offered:
  1. Beverage: Water, juice box or milk (Soda is offered to middle schoolers.)
  2. Bag of chips, veggie straws or cheez-its
  3. Hot dog (2nd hot dog available, no more than 2 hot dogs per student)
  4. Dessert (Different each month)
  • Allergies: See the dessert ingredients in the image below. Feel free to send a safe option along with your child if they cannot have the dessert offered.
  • Pink Slips: SJS alumni will remember the infamous pink slips!  We brought them back a couple of years ago. 20 “pink slips” will be stuffed into hot dogs and passed out at random to the students. If the student opens up their hot dog and sees a pink slip they get to pick a prize. Pink slips will not be in 2nd’s! We are trying to NOT encourage the students to scarf down a hot dog, just to get another one in hopes to get a pink slip.

Questions: Reach out to Emily: (920) 419-1447 or Emily.hermus@yahoo.com).

The People Who Serve

The Home and School Association is our “Parent Organization” here at St. John School.  All parents are automatically part of the Home and School Association. Our purpose is to work collectively on behalf and in support of the school.  While Home and School is a vehicle to mobilize parental efforts in support of the school, it also seeks to create and enrich a sense of community and school family.

Meetings are held monthly and all SJS families are encouraged to attend.
