Mission Statement

As a Catholic community of faith, the mission of Saint John Nepomuk Catholic School is to model the gospel teachings of Jesus Christ and the principles of the Catholic Church. We are committed to the education and development of life-long learners and leaders.

We have noticed more students arriving late to class and missing school for vacations/other activities. Please do your best to plan around our school calendar (if possible). Lost instruction time makes school much more difficult for students and teachers.

Note: students will need to get missed assignments, etc. when they return from an absence as it is difficult for teachers to prepare additional work in advance.

We will print grades for parent/teacher conferences. The final Q1 report cards will be sent out via email on October 16th.

PK3- Paper Report Cards

PK4- Report Cards (Mrs. Johnson will be handing out work samples instead of a report card for Q1)

K-8- Report cards will be sent out digitally on Oct. 16th

Students who make the Pastors or Principals Honor Roll will be recognized after mass on October 24th.

Note: Honor Roll begins in 3rd grade.

Yukon Public Schools did our Hearing and Vision screenings last Tuesday. Notes were sent home with students if they had a concern regarding your student's hearing or vision.

If your student did NOT receive a note, they had no concerns.

Note: October 10th is a normal school day and will end at 3:15pm. We will have additional middle school conferences in the afternoon on October 10th.

The Knights of Columbus soccer challenge is on October 25th, at Holy Spirit in Mustang. This event is open to youth age 9 to 14.

"There's No Good Reason to Do Drugs"
Dress with a friend or two to make funny silly rhymes with no reason. Some examples: "bumble bee and Christmas Tree" "Fairy, Mary, Dairy (cow)".

1st Quarter 2025/2026

We have had a great start to the school year with lots of new books, fun activities, and a whole new library catalog.

In August we spent a lot of time talking about book care and defining the many areas of our library. We learned that if a book is torn or falling apart we can bring it to the library and place it in the book hospital. Thankfully we are able to get them repaired and returned to the shelves and classrooms.

In September, PreK 4 and Kindergarten enjoyed books about going to school and visiting libraries. First and Second grade started the month looking at ABC order and making book marks to help us know our reading levels. They ended the month with comparing fiction and non-fiction books. Third thru Fifth grade focused on learning how to make searches on our new catalog at the beginning of the month. They ended the month with a sorting game about the different genres and the books we have available in our library for each type.

October is the month of MYSTERY!!! Second thru fifth grade are learning to infer like the great detectives Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes, and Nate the Great. They are working through clues in teams trying to find out who sabotaged the fair or who stole the missing jewelry box. PreK 4 thru First grade are reading Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young and Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar? by Bonnie Lass & Philemon Sturges. We helped the mice figure out what they were seeing and have played a couple of guess who style games with clues.
