ST.JOHN’S FESTIVAL

Dear Shamrock Family, It is almost that time of year again, a special weekend at the beginning of October when we come together as a community and celebrate with one another enjoying great food, entertainment, games, and camaraderie. The annual fall festival is quickly approaching and will be held on our parish & school campuses on Friday, October 4th and Saturday, October 5th. On Sunday, October 6th a tasty brunch will be sold in the gym to conclude the festival weekend. Our school receives 50% of the total profit from the earnings of the fall festival, so your volunteerism directly benefits the students! Below is more detailed information about what you need to know as a school parent:

1. Wristbands: Presale wristbands will be available for purchase in the near future. These specific wristbands are for students to use for games on Friday and proceeds from these go directly to our school. More information to come.

2. Festival Friday: On Friday, October 4th, students will be dismissed from school as usual at 2:50pm. From approximately 3:15-5:00pm the festival will be opened to SJCS students and school families only and SJCS teachers and staff will be running the various booths. An adult must accompany all SJCS students who come to the festival during these hours, as SJCS staff will not be responsible for supervising students at the festival. SEP students will not be allowed to attend the festival until they are signed out by a parent/guardian.

3. Snack Bar: Snacks will be sold to students and school families from 3:15-5:00pm on Friday. Please come with cash.

4. Friendly Reminder: All school families are required to work 2 hours at/toward the festival. Here is the link to the sign up genius to sign up to volunteer at the festival:

Sergio, Ms. Child, Mrs. Elliott, Mrs. Green, Ms. Caiti, or Ms. Marlene - Talent Show Saturday afternoon - Beer Garden throughout the weekend (21 and over) - FortNite Tournament in the gym on Saturday - Coco showing at Movie Night in the gym Saturday evening

The festival is the best community-building event of our year. Our students, families, and staff look forward to it very much. The fall festival is an event that is the joint responsibility of the St. John parish and school. Parents, please recognize that your involvement is imperative in making this event a success and again, directly benefits our school monetarily. Please show your support of our school and parish community. I hope to see all of our families at the festival this year. It is assured to be a wonderful time! Blessings, Ms. Paige Child

IMPORTANT: Disaster Drill on September 19th Hello Parents,

The diocese mandates that all schools participate in a school-wide evacuation/student pick-up drill every other school year to prepare for a large emergency during which we would have to evacuate the school and wait for student pick up. This very important drill provides staff with the opportunities to review and practice search and rescue and first aid protocols. On September 19th our Disaster Drill will take place, beginning at noon. All students will need to be picked up by either a parent or someone listed on their emergency information. Students will only be released to people who are indicated on their emergency list, and people who pick up students must have identification present and ready to provide staff upon release of students. Lastly, their is no afternoon SEP this day, so ALL students will need to be picked up during the 12 o'clock hour, via our Disaster Drill dismissal system.

To Recap:

Disaster Drill September 19, 2019 12:00pm

Noon Dismissal of ALL students, NO SEP after school Students only released to parents/individuals on student emergency list (parents are encouraged to update with the front office if necessary)

Students only released to parent/permitted guardian who comes with an ID for formal identification purposes
