We ask that on Friday, November 12th and on Saturday, November 13th, children come dressed in Polish national colors (white and red T-shirts, sweatshirts, and scarves). On the coming school days, children will be able to purchase red T-shirts and sweatshirts with the logo of our school. T-shirts are $15 and sweatshirts $30. You’re welcome!

On November 12 and 13, we will be holding a photo session for the high school graduates. More information will be sent to students in grades 11.

Dear Parents,

Semiannual Parent Meeting will be held on Friday, October 22nd, at 6:15 PM, at the Parish House across the school.

At the meeting, the most important matters related to the school will be discussed, the budget for the 2021-22 school year will be presented, and it will be possible to talk to members of the School Board and the Principal. We would like to invite all parents!

We would also like to inform all families who have not paid their school fees in full that after October 24th, a late fee of $50 will be added to their account. Please pay your dues this weekend.

See you on Friday,

The Board of the Polish School of St. John Paul II

In the Polish School of St. John Paul II, we celebrated the Polish Bilingual Day, which is a continuation of the action “We speak Polish in our home!”

The Polish Bilingual Day makes parents and educators aware that they are mainly responsible and privileged to pass the Polish language on to children raised outside Poland. Such an undertaking was necessary to remind Polish families living abroad of how important the mother language is and what powerful capital it can constitute for the future of the young generation born outside the country.

IMPORTANT!

Semiannual Parent Meeting will be held on October 22nd, at 6:15 PM, in the cafeteria. We ask all parents to participate in this event as we will present important information regarding the present and future decisions regarding our school.

On October 24th, we commemorate Saint John Paul II, the patron of our school. We wish to invite you to a Holly Mass at 2 PM, at the Cyril and Methodius Church.

On October 29th and 30th, we celebrate Halloween.

Dear Parents,

We wish to ask for your assistance in helping our school community with an issue that we have been experiencing recently. There is currently a TikTok challenge that is asking students to vandalize school bathrooms and destroy school property. Unfortunately, some students have been participating in this challenge. During classes in Polish School, two soap containers in the boys’ bathroom were damaged. The cost of such a container is approximately $150.00.

Please talk to your children and emphasize the importance of students respecting school property. Participation in such conduct will result in disciplinary action and the parents will be charged for the repairs.

Thank you for your help. We believe that this will never happen again.

Principal and School Board
