A Message from Principal Rickbeil
With the examples of Disney World and Chick-Fil-A in mind, this week’s video reflects on what good customer service should look like in a Catholic school.
Welcome to Saint Joseph’s Mrs. Lauth and Mrs. Sullivan!
This past week, we were thrilled to add two new additions to our staff. Mrs. Molly Lauth will be serving as our school nurse each Thursday and Friday. Molly has served as a nurse for the past seven years at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital, working with families in labor and delivery. She is a proud graduate of Saint Joseph’s school, and is a mother of three children, two of which currently attend our school. It is safe to say that she knows our school community very well.
Additionally, Cindy Sullivan has joined our preschool staff, and will be working as an aide in our preschool every afternoon. Mrs. Sullivan has served in education for much of her career, working as a math teacher, a math interventionist, and volunteering in preschool and elementary school. Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Lauth and Mrs. Sullivan to our staff.

This system was opened up to all parents in K-8 and information sent out earlier this week. If you are having trouble or have questions please contact Lori Bruce lobruce@stjosephwsp.org.

No Busing on Monday, October 2, 2023
Monday, October 2 St. Joseph’s is IN session. ISD 197 is NOT in session. Therefore there will not be bus transportation. This is a required parent transportation to and from school. We will have breakfast and hot lunch available for all students on this day.
The Gerten's Poinsettia & Holiday Greens Fundraiser is LIVE!
It may feel like summer, but Christmas will be here before we know it. So plan ahead and order your Gerten's Poinsettias & Holiday Greens today! 30% of all plant sales and 15% of gift card (GREAT gift idea!) sales will go directly back to St. Joseph's School - so feel free to share with friends and family. Plants will be delivered to the school on Thursday, Nov. 30 and must be picked up on that day.
How to order:
Helpful tip: Please ensure you click through ALL the screens when placing your order until you see a "Thank you for your order!" message. You will receive a confirmation email from Gerten's right away if your order was received. If you don't, you may want to go back and make sure you completed your check-out.
All orders must be placed by Monday, Oct. 23 at 10 PM and quantities are limited on fundraiser items! Please order early to ensure availability. Items that are sold out will be removed from the website.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL ORDERS MUST BE PICKED UP FROM SCHOOL ON THURSDAY, NOV. 30. Pick-ups will be available in the afternoon along with limited evening pick-ups.
