Follow up on feedback from our survey

Thank you to all who gave us feedback through our survey before the summer break. We appreciate all of the responses and spent time over the summer reviewing the suggestions to see where we can make improvements. We have incorporated some suggestions: including modifications to the homework pages, evaluating homework load, staggering assignment deadlines and introducing volleyball to the senior students, and we will continue to consider your suggestions as we move forward. Thank you again to all of you who took the time to give us your feedback and ideas. Please come to the AGM on Monday October 21 at 7:00 at the Schola to hear more about how we are using your feedback to continuously improve the experience of being part of SJCS.

Our program relies on our dedicated and wonderful staff, who also volunteer in many ways above and beyond their job descriptions. Also, many parents volunteer in very significant ways, including the Family Welcome picnic, receptions after concerts, beautifully coordinated Nine Lessons and Tenebrae, our library, the play, enrichment and other fun events like pi day, and the medieval fair. The only way we can offer as rich of a program as we do is because of the significant contribution of volunteers. 
 
One thing that was identified was that it can be difficult for our parents to see how they can find time to help at SJCS and our very dedicated volunteers often feel maxed out as they are left to carry a disproportionate amount of the volunteer workload. In an effort to improve this situation, we have described the many volunteer roles at SJCS and their requirements, from large time commitments to very small time commitments. So far, the response has not been encouraging. Please find a way in which you can help that fits with your gifts and availability. Please reach out to the Schola administration, the Parents Society or one of the Board members to let us know how you would like to volunteer this year. We would be happy to discuss more or answer any questions. 


See you at the AGM! Monday October 21 2024 at 7:00pm at the Schola!

As always, we welcome feedback, questions, and comments [email protected]
