Important Reminder for Morning Car Riders!!!

For the safety of our students and parents, please remember from 8:00-8:15, you may drop off your children near the school steps.  After 8:15, you must drop off children in the coned car line area.  If you must park in the convent lot to bring something into the school, please enter and exit that area cautiously.  Drop your children off in the protected areas; then park carefully.  Please look for parents and vehicles when pulling out of the lot!

bullet Please remember, because there is no one present to monitor the situation, parents should NOT drive their children up the driveway in front of the church to drop them off. The driveway is only available to families of students who are on crutches or in casts and can't walk. Please drop your children off in the main parking lot.
bullet In the event of closings or delays, Mrs. Stonebraker will be calling WTAE (Channel 4) and WPXI (Channel 11) as soon as she finds out the information from the Plum Borough School District. That usually occurs about 5:15 AM. As soon as she calls those TV stations, she will call Mrs. Schramm and she has agreed to put the information on the home page of our website. She will also send out an e-charger message to parents. Since there are multiple St. John the Baptist Schools in the TV viewing area, it is important that you look for St. John the Baptist School/Plum. If you miss our individual school message, you can also look for the Plum Borough School District information. We always follow Plum Borough on issues of snow delays or cancellations. Since we have students from other districts, they will need to follow their home district’s bussing plan for the day. Students will not be marked tardy if they are late because of their district’s delayed bussing.
bullet The Accelerated Reader List is updated and on Mrs. Gray's Library Information Page.
bullet Copy paper is still needed by our school.  Please call the school or drop it off in the office.  
bullet Don't forget to also drop off  those used printer cartridges to the office also.  We are able to turn those in for computer products!
bullet Please consider taking home the Vocations Cross to pray with your family for vocations.  Call the school office to schedule a week.
bullet Update: The electronic CHARGER messages are sent out on a regular basis in addition to the Friday Folder information.  "Regular Basis" means once or twice a week, now that the snow season has (hopefully) passed.  If you are not receiving electronicCHARGER updates at least once a week, please contact our computer teacher,  Mrs. Schramm by mail to add your address (schramm@stjohnthebaptistschool.org).
