NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents,
As the school year draws to a close, preparations for the 2024-25 school year are already in motion. Firstly, I'd like to inform you that two of our teachers, Mrs. Kerry Pezzuto and Ms. Jen Opdahl, will not be returning to SJB next year. Please join me in extending our best wishes and gratitude to them for their dedicated service over the past few years.
On a brighter note, I am delighted to announce some adjustments and additions to our faculty for the upcoming year. Let's warmly welcome Miss Laura Van House to 1st grade, Miss Kaylee Arenz to 2nd grade, Mrs. Melissa Acosta and Mrs. Alisha Watson to 3rd grade, and Mrs. Ashley Kirksey to 4th grade. Also, Miss Laura Jean Curley will join Mrs. Pam Boggs as a second resource teacher, and Mrs. Amy Day will serve as our site-based substitute teacher.
As we look forward to these new faces and roles within our school community, let's continue to uphold the spirit of support and collaboration that defines SJB. Together we will make the upcoming school year fulfilling and successful for all.

Volunteer Opportunity
2024-2025 School Year
Are you looking for ways to complete your volunteer hours for the upcoming school year? We have a suggestion for you! We're seeking volunteers to be a “Mentor Family” to new families joining St. John Bosco School in the upcoming year. It’s a great way to make new friends for both you and your child(ren), and it significantly benefits the “newbies” coming in to feel welcomed, navigate our campus, become familiar with our programs, and understand SJB student/family expectations.
If you'd like to help new families feel welcome, please contact Diane Mullally
