NJHS is seeking your help in providing much needed toiletry items for the homeless and disadvantaged youth supported by Project 150.

We are going to be collecting toiletry items during the week of November 18-22. Students may bring their items to their classrooms starting Monday, November 18th and NJHS members will collect them during the week. Each grade will be assigned different products (found below). We are looking for full size products NOT travel size. This will provide the teens with items that will last for an extended period of time. We will deliver all items Friday, November 22.

As always, we are grateful for your generosity and support. We are excited to help out teens in need, especially during the holiday season. God Bless You.

NO LEFT TURN ON EASTERN:

Under NO circumstance should any car make a left onto Eastern from the school campus. Some of our families are making the decision to turn left 🤨. There is a NO LEFT TURN SIGN! Turning left is dangerous and causes a stoppage of traffic. In addition, please do not make a right onto Eastern and then make a u-turn in the school zone. This is illegal while children are present and school zone sign is lit.

STAFF PARKING LOT:

The staff lot on Eastern Ave is for handicap parking during drop off and pick up only. You may not park in a handicapped space without disabled persons plates or placards issued by a government agency. The visitor parking in the staff parking lot is not for drop-off and/or pick-up.

LOOP PARKING LOT:

The numbered staff parking in the loop is for staff members only. Kids are running unattended through the loop and down the walkway to the church parking lot. Students need to stay with their parents at all times. There are too many cars in the area and children can get hurt. Teachers are busy connecting students to cars and they have voiced concern over the children running unattended. Let's all work together to keep our students and families safe!

Dear Parents,

As you know, during this school year we are preparing for our school’s accreditation and beginning the Self Study process. This protocol is meant to meet the needs of our accrediting body, the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA), while helping to assess the quality of our programs. The accreditation process focuses upon assessing student success in meeting Schoolwide Learning Expectations (SLEs), Archdiocesan curriculum standards, and all governing authority expectations.

These concepts include the following:

To what extent is mission and Catholic identity infused into the total school program?

o To what extent are students mastering the essential academic content standards?

o To what extent is there evidence of adequate ongoing academic growth for all students?

o To what extent does the school support high achievement for all its students?

o To what extent is assessment data being collected, disaggregated and analyzed?

o To what extent are student learning decisions being made based on the analysis of the assessment data?

o To what extent are procedures and policies in effect to ensure the school’s operational vitality?

As we begin this process, we will ask for your input by completing the survey (linked below) as well as through focus group meetings designed to share your insights. Your participation is vital in helping us to analyze the school, its programs and impact on student learning. We look forward to the accreditation process and working with each of you as we strive to improve student learning.

Please complete this survey by Friday, November 22nd. We realize this WCEA survey is rather lengthy and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. We are most grateful for your time and assisting us in this process and look forward to sharing these results with you.

As a special “thank you” the students of those families who have completed the survey will enjoy a special treat!

The most significant criteria to qualify for the Viator Parish rate is regular attendance at Sunday Mass using your envelopes.

In order to qualify for the Viator rate you MUST:

1. Attend a minimum of 26 masses (Saturday or Sunday)
2. Use the envelopes sent to you from the church
3. Forgot your envelope? Remember your parish number and use a blank envelope provided at mass.

DO NOT

1. Mail in your envelopes to St. Viator church. These will not be counted.
2. Drop off your envelope in the church on a school mass day.
3. Forgetting the envelope and telling the church or school you went.

Tuition review will happen in November and you should have 13 masses by this time. All rates will be reviewed and possibly adjusted after the assessment. If your rate is adjusted it will be reflected on the December statement. Please DO NOT call or email the school office or church office to ask if changes are being made until after the receipt of your statement.

Remember, parents are a model of faith for their children and when families join us on a regular basis they are showing their children the priority faith and church has in their lives.
