Beginning on March 19th, students in grades 3-8 will be taking the Forward Exam, the State of Wisconsin standardized test. Mrs. Klein is our testing coordinator should you have any questions. The goal is to have all testing complete by spring break. Please ensure your child is well fed, rested and in school daily from March 19-28. Mrs. Klein will be sending a more detailed testing schedule as well. As a reminder, all students will be administered the test. If you choose to opt your child out of the test, this must be sent to me in writing. Thank you. I am very excited to be cheering our 8th grade boys on tomorrow in the Padre Serra Tournament. It is at Mt. Mary at 10 am. Good luck to Anthony, Eduardo, Luis and Zamarion. I am very happy to announce that JPIIA has made it through the first step of the Exemplary Accreditation process. Next, we will receive a visit on March 27th by a team. We are in the midst of Lent and there have been many activities occurring already. Students are going to Stations of the Cross weekly, buddy activities and will be going to adoration soon. Please help with the almsgiving to build another chapel in the Dominican Republic. Students should bring their white boxes of money each Monday.

Friday: Egg or tuna salad, croissant, chilled fruit, steamed broccoli and jello

John Paul II Academy is a Catholic school providing a faith-based education that embraces the teachings of the Gospel in order to develop the whole child.

As I have talked about many times, safety is of the utmost importance. Students participated in a fire drill and a lock down drill this week. Mrs. Klein is also touching base in all her guidance classes on our emergency procedures. When we return from Easter, we will practice tornado drills as well.

We exist in partnership with the parents, parishes and the community to meet the needs of each individual student.

This Monday at 1 pm is our school wide Spelling Bee! Good luck to all our finalists. All are welcome.

Mission Statement

We will help each student develop life skills for cooperation with and involvement in the community based on respect for God, one’s self, and society.

Lent Blessings, Mrs. Schumacher
