We have re-activated and updated our Webpage on Summer Assignments and Supply Lists for your reference over the summer.

Please contact your teacher(s) with any questions on summer assignments and supply lists.

We are excited to offer our Summer Reading Challenge again this summer!

Each student in Kindergarten - Grade 3 that reads 15 books or more and each student in Grades 4 - 8 that reads 5 books or more will earn a NO UNIFORM DAY.  

To participate, please fill out this Reading Log and turn it in to the front desk during the first week of the 2019-2020 school year.  

For ideas on great books to read, a good resource is the Lucius Beebe Library in Wakefield.  Their website is: http://www.wakefieldlibrary.org  then click on the box Summer Reading 2019 then click on the age link you need.

Please contact our wonderful librarian, Mrs. Debbie Tremblay, with any questions.

Congratulations to Erin Smail, Grade 7 (soon to be Grade 8), who won the Bishop Fenwick High School Book Award! 

She received the award at our final Praise & Worship on Monday, June 10, from Admissions Counsellor Steve Driscoll and Mrs. Hamelin.

We are so proud of you, Erin!  

Our uniform swap is NOW OPEN!

Organized by the PTO, we already have a terrific inventory of gently used uniform items that will be on display in the ground floor hallway of the main school building beginning on Monday morning.  

All are welcome to take as many items as you are able to use for your family next year.  All items are completely FREE!  Donations are NOT required to participate in the swap!  All families, including incoming ECP families, are most welcome to participate.

If you have items to donate, please leave them in the bins that in the basement hallway marked "Place Donations Here."  PTO volunteers will sort them and add them to the items on display for others to take.  Please do not donate items that are ripped, stained or are heavily worn.  

You are welcome to visit the swap anytime that the school building is open.  If you are unable to visit the swap during school hours, before school or after school, please contact the PTO or Mrs. Flynn to make arrangements.

In order to facilitate the swap, students will not be required to wear uniforms beginning on Monday, June 10.  See the separate blog post on attire for the final week of school.

Please contact PTO@stjosephschoolwakefield.org with any questions about the uniform swap.

It is now time to let us know your desired Christian Service position for the 2019-2020 school year.

Forms with details on the available positions were sent home in your child's backpack last week.  If you have misplaced your copy, you may download it here.

Completed forms were due on Friday, May 10.  If you have not already returned your form, please do so as soon as possible to ensure an assignment that will work well for your family. 

Please contact Christina Hildonen or Dr. Sullivan with any questions regarding our Christian Service Program.

It's not too late to purchase a yearbook to preserve some of this year's wonderful memories!  

Yearbooks are available for purchase at the front desk for $25.

We have a limited supply, don't miss your chance to own one!

Special thanks to Laura Flynn for producing this beautiful book!
