Parent Newsletter

Dear Parents,

As we prepare to begin the new semester, we pray for the continuation of good health for all and the return of our traditional spring events. We will gather as an entire school community for the first time in 21 months on January 12 for our Respect Life Mass. I am looking forward to this reunion as together, we will prayerfully consider why every human life is valuable and how we can be a culture that protects life from conception to death. Father John Brown, Jesuit priest and uncle of senior Madeleine Brown, will celebrate the mass. Parents and friends of SJA will be able to join us via livestream on the SJA Facebook page.  

The students are looking forward to getting dressed up and dancing the night away at two up-coming dances: Winter Formal for juniors and seniors and the Frosh Dance for freshmen and sophomores. Students can invite a young man as their guest or attend with SJA friends. Both dances are semiformal; check for more details in this month’s newsletter. We ask that you allow your daughter to attend the dance only if she is well and is comfortable being in a crowd. Masks will be optional, but we ask that students with any type of illness not attend.

In early January, we will resume our ACT Prep sessions. These special-schedule days allow students additional instruction on ACT-type questions, tips and tricks for first-time test takers, as well as an understanding of how the test is scored. Every student at SJA must take the ACT in the spring semester of junior year. SJA uses this information to determine a student’s readiness for college. Additional outside-of-the-classroom preparation sessions are available in January and February. Look for information about these great opportunities in the newsletter. All juniors will take the district ACT on March 29. It is not too late to sign up for a subject-specific prep class.  

May your New Year be filled with many blessings!

I love what I do, I love who I do it with and I love that we do it together in the name of our patron, St. Joseph.  

Sincerely,

Stacia B. Andricain
Principal

All students attend a monthly schoolwide mass or prayer service and an annual class retreat. The sacrament of reconciliation is offered to students bi-annually. Additionally, students may choose to participate in a weekly rosary, weekly Bible study, monthly Eucharistic Adoration, mission trips and various ministry clubs, including Student Ministry (juniors and seniors), Liturgy Committee, Liturgy Choir, Praise & Worship Band and Respect Life Club.

REQURED SERVICE PROGRAM
Service is an integral part of the SJA curriculum. Important information about this year-long program can be found on the SJA website under the Faith tab. Students are reminded that all service hours must be completed through a non-profit organization or nursing home. Donations are not part of the service program.

The administration has approved an update to the junior class service category of Healthcare and Special Needs. The change allows students to count hours volunteered at the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, the Missionaries of Charity at St. Agnes and St. Vincent de Paul towards this goal. The change is due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in our area and will remain in effect until April 1, 2022.

All students are asked to log their service hours immediately after completion. The deadline for completing service requirements is April 1, 2022. There will be checkpoints throughout the year to ensure timely completion of the required service hours.

All students should have their own login information for x2VOL.com and be enrolled in the Service Hour Project Moodle page. This page contains several how-to guides for logging hours and the 2021-2022 Service Directory. The page is updated each Monday with current service opportunities.
 
Our service coordinator, Ms. Jade Spears, is available during all lunch periods to answer questions about service and to help students with service entries. Students may also email her at spearsj@sjabr.org or stop by the Campus Ministry office in Mother Alice Hall, room 206.
 
Please note that failure to turn in service hours by the deadline will result in a checklist. Seniors must complete their service requirements in order to graduate from SJA, and underclasswomen must complete their service hours in order to return to SJA the following year.

Annual Fund

As we prepare to welcome the New Year, we are grateful for the spirit of generosity demonstrated by the St. Joseph’s Academy community. On campus and throughout the world, the impact of an SJA education is evident through our shared commitment to serving the dear neighbor.

Please consider supporting the faith development, academic excellence and personal growth of our Academy students with a gift to Parents Annual Fund before the year is over.
