Dear Parents,

As we prepare to enter Holy Week, beginning Palm Sunday on March 29, we will reflect on the profound journey of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection.

Throughout the week, our students will prayerfully observe Holy Week through several meaningful Lenten activities across campus. Classes will participate in Stations of the Cross, many of which will be thoughtfully prepared and led by our teachers and students. On Thursday morning, our 6th grade students will present a special performance of The Passion of Christ, helping our school community reflect more deeply on the meaning of this sacred time. Following the presentation, all homeroom classes will participate in Lenten Retreats, providing students with time for prayer, reflection, and spiritual preparation for Easter.

Please remember that Easter Break will begin Thursday at 12:30 PM, and school will resume on Tuesday, April 7.

We are also excited to share that we will continue our partnership with 1st Day School Supplies to make back-to-school shopping easier than ever. Supplies—carefully selected by your child’s teacher—will be top-quality, name-brand items delivered in individual boxes for each student. Families will simply order and pay online. Instructions and a link to order are below.

Purchase School Supply Box

ALL students must also be registered for aftercare with Innovation Learning just in case they are unable to be picked up on time after school. ALL families must register online for the 2026-27 school year. You will receive a separate email with further instructions in how to register for the Fall. (not summer camp)

ALL students who purchased their 2026-27 1st Day School Supply supply box and complete the 2026-27 Innovation Learning Fall registration before May 15th will receive a FREE Dress Day Monday, May 18th!!

As we prepare for the joy of Easter, I pray your family experiences a beautiful celebration filled with love, peace, and renewed faith. May this sacred season bring abundant blessings to you and your loved ones.

Joyful Blessings,

Jamie Bescak, Principal
St. John Bosco Catholic School
