- Veteran’s Day
St. Joseph Consolidated School will once again be celebrating our Veterans this November. Due to the restrictions with COVID this year our plan is to send cards and letters as recognition to these folks. Please use this form to share the names and addresses of your family members that you wish to recognize. We ask that you have these to us on or before Friday 10/30/2020 so they can be mailed in a timely manner. You may submit as many names as you wish for the cards and letters. Please do a separate form for each person. We will do our best to match up the family members with student classes.
- Parent Teacher Conferences
St. Joseph Consolidated School normally has parent teacher conferences in the month of November. This year we will once again have conferences, but we will be handling these in a new manner. There will be no in person meetings, in place of the regular meetings, teachers will hold zoom or phone conferences with parents. Teachers will contact the families they wish to have a conference. If you are not contacted but still wish to speak with your child's teacher you may email them to request a conference. Please make sure to regularly check your email for communication from your child’s teacher.
- Marketing Team
With this communication, I am reaching out to anyone in our school community who may have an interest in joining or supporting our school marketing team. In past years, we focused a great deal of our marketing effort around a one-day-a-year Open House. Over time, many elements of our marketing plan (yard signs, banners, postcards, billboards) became automatic. With COVID-19 impacting so much of what we can and cannot do, we are challenged to step back and take a look at our marketing efforts and create a plan that makes sense in this environment. If you have marketing experience or an interest in helping us take a look at marketing our school with a new set of eyes, please consider joining our team. This need not be a long-term commitment. We’ll take any amount of help you have to offer. Please contact me via email bhicks@sjcshamilton.org or phone 513-863-8758 if you are interested.
