We hope you were able to attend our first HASA P.E.N. meeting with guest presenters Adam Testa, Juvenile Probation Officer with Summit County Court, and Chief Jack Davis of our own Cuyahoga Falls Police Department. Though some of the topics and information may have been surprising, perhaps even shocking to hear, this topic is just as important as any other safety issues and precautions for which we must educate our students and inform our parents and stakeholders. We thank Mr. Testa and Chief Davis for the time they generously give to St. Joseph Parish School and our community. The next P.E.N. will be in March; see you there!

Please remember, beginning Monday, 8/27 anyone entering the building must stop in the Main Office to sign in, get a Visitor’s tag, and sign out before exiting the building. For safety purposes, this needs to be done on every occasion no matter what length of time will be spent in the building. Thank you for your continued cooperation!
PM DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Once your child has been dismissed from line s/he must stay with you. If you need to speak with other parents, please use the crosswalk to go back over to the spaces side of the parking lot to hold those conversations. If you need to speak with a child’s teacher, please schedule those meetings for a time other than during dismissal.
Lastly, we request that no adults enter the building between 3:00 - 3:30. If you need to pick your child up for an early dismissal this needs to be done before 3:00.
