A Note From The Principals
Dear St. Jerome Families:
It is crazy to think it is that time of year again...registration packets for the 2025-2026 school year will be sent home with students during the first week of February!
If you already know that your child will not be returning for the next school year, please inform the office at your earliest convenience. This information helps us plan for the upcoming school year.
Catholic Schools Week begins on Sunday, January 26th, and we invite all families to join us for 9:00 AM Mass with our faculty and staff. We look forward to celebrating this special week together! Additionally, we are looking for parent volunteers on Friday, January 31st, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Volunteers will help supervise the children during lunch and recess, allowing our staff to enjoy a well-deserved lunch break.
If you’re available to help, please call the office at 216-486-3587. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for being such an important part of our school community.
Learn, Serve, Lead, Succeed,
Mrs. Lyndsey Byrne and Mrs. Katie Coan, Co-Principals
