St. Joseph grade and middle school registration starts next week

The St. Joseph grade and middle schools will open registration for the 2020-21 school year next week from August 3rd through August 7th. This year, the district will not host the traditional single all-day registration at the Middle School as in the past.

The district will offer on-line registration this year and encourage everyone who is able to register using the website. Parents who are unable to register on-line can do so in person August 3-7 from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. The school district asks those individuals registering in person to observe social distancing guidelines.

Parents should receive an e-mail this Sunday with instructions to access the on-line registration system and how to make required payments.

End of the year school parade to be held on May 15

St. Joseph CCSD 169 principal Michelle Mabry Wagner announced on Facebook teachers will hold an end of the year drive-by parade on May 15.

"We are going to be doing a parade around town, me and all your teachers from Kindergarten to eight grade," Wagner announced in a video. "You can come out on the street and wave to us. We are doing this in honor of you."

Starting at 1pm, teachers will wind their way through the community in their vehicles to say farewell to all the students in the district.

"Even though we can't be together, we're still going to celebrate with this parade," Wagner said.
