Dear SJA community, We hope this finds you and your family safe and doing well. This has certainly been a most eventful week, often filled with more questions than answers. We’d like to thank all those who have reached out to us to checkin about how the school was doing and how our families were managing the unfortunate winter circumstances. SJA would also like to extend a special thanks to our facilities and security teams who went above and beyond to make sure our campus remained safe and maintained while the school has been closed. We are happy to report that the campus has been with power since yesterday morning without interruptions and in our communication with PUB and other city officials, we believe this will continue in the days to come. With that, Saint Joseph Academy will reopen on Monday, February 22 nd for normal operations, including inperson instruction. Athletics activities have already begun for those teams preparing for playoffs and we look forward to welcoming the entire student body and faculty/staff back to campus on Monday. As a reminder, our calendar for the rest of the week remains the same with Thursday, February 26th a 12:00n dismissal and Friday, February 27 th will be a normal FlexFriday. Our facilities team has spent yesterday and today ensuring that the classrooms and offices on campus are fully functional (heat, AC, internet, water, etc) and we have done our best to make the transition back to campus is a smooth one. Should any conditions change that would make it not possible to return to campus, we will be sure to inform families immediately. Saint Joseph Academy knows how difficult this has been for many in our school community. Our faculty, staff, and administration will continue to be flexible as we return to our normal routines. We ask for you continued patience and cooperation as we all get back to full speed. Should you have any questions or would like to discuss anything further. We look forward to seeing you soon. Warm blessings, SJA Administration
