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.

It appears Dennis Uniforms is closing its doors. We have already been planning to change uniform companies and hope to make a decision on the new company next week. I'm honestly not sure if families will be able to place new orders from Dennis Uniforms or not.

Students are allowed to wear either their Mass uniform or they may dress as a Saint. If they choose to dress up as a Saint, they must dress as the person and NOT what they represent. For example, if they want to be Saint Sebastian (the patron saint of athletes), they dress as Saint Sebastian the person and not their favorite sports player or wear their sports uniform. If they want to be Saint Francis of Assisi they dress as the actual person and not like a wolf or another animal. Students can bring accessories but cannot bring weapons. For example, Saint Francis may bring a stuffed bear but Saint Michel cannot bring a sword. All uniform guidelines must be met with costumes in regards to footwear, strap widths, leggings, etc. When in doubt, ask or leave it out.

Dear Parents,

We use a software program called Renaissance at school to take Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes. This program has a special feature called Home Connect, which you can access outside of school from any computer with an internet connection. Home connect allows you to view information about your child's progress in the AR program and even allows you to see what books they have taken tests on. Through the program you can sign up to receive email notifications when your child completes an accelerated reader quiz at school. This will NOT ALLOW quizzes to be taken at home.

Dear Parents,

We are writing to inform you about special curriculum material we will be teaching as part of your child’s regular religious education in the upcoming weeks. The Church desires to help you keep your children safe. The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City is requiring that all young people participating in religious education in any parish or Catholic school receive instruction in protecting themselves from abuse as well as how to communicate potential danger to appropriate adults. The Archdiocese requires that these programs be offered annually to children of all grades. This year, the Archdiocese will be using the Safe & Sacred program from “Proud to Protect” for the students’ classroom component.

The bishop’s document, titled,” Promise to Protect, Pledge to Heal, Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People” gives the following instruction: “Dioceses will establish safe environment programs that will provide education and training for children, youth, parents, ministers, and others about ways to make and maintain a safe environment for children.”

The students attending St. John Nepomuk Catholic School will receive this instruction beginning as early as October 28th, 2024 within their Religion class. If you choose not to have your child(ren) participate in the Safe Environment curriculum on the scheduled dates, the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City requires you to complete an Opt-Out Form. Those can be obtained from the school office.

Please feel free to contact myself or your child’s religion teacher during school office hours if you have any questions or concerns. The following page provides instructions to preview any of the Safe Environment curriculum online. For copyright purposes, the files may not be downloaded or printed.

In Christ,

George Meiwes

Principal

The school is purchasing a subscription to the Hallow App to utilize in and out of classes. Students and Staff will have their own free account. Hallow has lessons for teachers, prayers, videos, Novenas, meditations, etc. I'm not sure how everything will work yet, but we are so excited to offer this to our school.
