All Diocese of San Jose Schools will be closed beginning Friday, March 12th, and will hopefully resume on Monday, May 4th. In anticipation of a possible school closure, our faculty spent the afternoon yesterday planning for Distance Learning.  This is so that we can be assured that your children continue to work at home and do not lose the important skills that they have developed thus far this year. Each of the children will be assigned assignments online.  The teachers will be communicating with you regularly to assign work and check on student progress.    We know that each child has individual learning needs, and we will work with you during these next several weeks to help them make continued progress. The teachers will be assigning work for them to complete during the next several weeks.  Be sure to check your ParentSquare and Google Classroom posts daily for updated information from the teachers and school office beginning Tuesday, March 17. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.  Let us pray that the spread of this disease ends...

Last week, St. Justin students from grades 4-8 participated in the National Geographic Bee. Each year thousands of schools in the United States participate in the National Geographic Bee using materials prepared by the National Geographic Society. The contest is designed to encourage teachers to include geography in their classrooms, spark student interest in the subject, and increase public awareness about geography. Congratulations to Steven S. and Isaiah J., both from 8th grade, who placed in the top two spots in this year’s competition. We are incredibly proud of all the participants. They were well-prepared, answered difficult questions, and demonstrated poise under pressure! Way to...
