Tuition Agreements
Agreements for the 2022-23 school year will be sent out through TADS over the next week. We are asking that all agreements be finalized by the noted due date, prior to the summer break, as it is critical information for us as we finalize employment agreements and staffing needs for next year.. For any families that have applied for financial assistance, please ensure you have submitted any required documentation.
Staffing Updates for 2022-23
Special thanks to Ginger Vance (Incoming Principal), Patrick Menke (Parish Administrator) and Tom Gagliardi (Advisor) who have been busy behind the scenes meeting with individuals, interviewing and building our staff for the 2022-23 school year. With natural transitions, retirements, additional sections and the hiring of a Middle School Director, there is a lot of activity - but some great response from our efforts. If you know of an outstanding educator, committed to our Catholic mission, who might be interested in St. Joseph’s School, please direct them to the Archdiocesan career postings. As has been the tradition, announcements of changes and additions to staff will be shared closer to the summer break.
