Dads are always welcome at SJA! There are so many ways in which parents can get involved and stay engaged in their child’s school experience. This partnership between parents, parish and school is the magnetic force which energizes the SJA community. Imagine for a moment, how exciting it is for a Kindergarten student when they discover their dad or grand dad is serving on lunch or recess duty or their mom is checking out books on library day.
Spring is here but Fall is right around the corner, especially if you have a child preparing for Kindergarten. We have made it easy for your child to get a feel for school at SJA! The Kindergarten Visit Day on March 19 offers flexibility with two different session times, making it easy for families to choose what works best for them. Incoming kindergarteners will spend time in the classroom with the teacher, Mrs. Coulson, meet current kindergarteners and do a craft together. Whether you prefer to drop off your child or stay with them, this experience is a great way to ease them into the school environment.
Morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. or afternoon from 1-2 p.m.
Call 440-247-6530 today to reserve your spot. Spaces are limited.
Kindergarten students feel special right from the start at SJA.

The combination of academic activities such as literacy and math and the shared experience of attending mass together helps build a strong sense of community and belonging at SJA. And the kids love it!
