St. Joseph FALL 2013
great schools in a great community
It’s that time of year again.....
Welcome back!
I hope you all had a restful and re-energizing summer break. We have been busy during break with continued construction at the high school and I have to tell you that it is really coming together nicely. If you haven’t driven by the front entrance – or down Lakeview recently I highly recommend it – the building looks beautiful. Our staff has been working hard this summer, attending many different trainings to continue our own growth so we can provide the very best experience for your child. We are so fortunate to have such dedicated and caring staff members that are always willing to go the extra mile for the sake of our students. Just recently the Michigan Department of Education released the “scorecard” for all K-12 educational entities and we have a great deal to be proud of here in Saint Joseph. The MDE ranks all schools in a top to bottom statewide percentile rank and all of our schools ranked quite high. Actually, our high school was rated as a “reward” school – there were only 141 schools rated as high performing in this category! Our entire staff is looking forward to another fantastic year and wants to welcome you back on September 3rd! Superintendent, Ann M. Cardon
