JFK 2022-2023 Academic Calendar
Details will be entered on our website calendar as they develop.
Formal Registration for K-8 Has Begun
Tuition contracts for K-8 were mailed to families three weeks ago. The return of the tuition contract and the registration fee, discounted for OLV parishioners and returning families from $150 to $100 per student when returned before April, is the formal enrollment process for 2022-23. Please contact the school office or Fr. Jake right away if you did not receive your contract.
Pre-school and Daycare Registration
Registration for all sections of 3 year old preschool, 4/5 year old preschool, and ECLC is underway for all families. Morning classes fill up quickly, in particular, so do not delay PS registration.

Crusader Theater for 6th-8th Graders
We had 33 6th-8th graders try out for this year’s Crusader Theater production of Encyclopedia Brown, and all 33 were cast into a part! Encyclopedia Brown is a series of books staring young detective “Encyclopedia” Brown who solves all sorts of mysteries for his friends, the neighbors, and even the police. Spanning publication dates of nearly 50 years, the series has led to a comic strip, a TV series, and other related items. I used to love reading Encyclopedia Brown books myself! Performances are scheduled for May 13 at 6:30 p.m. and May 14 at 3:00 p.m.
Cast members will be meeting at recess on Monday to receive their scripts and rehearsal schedules. Questions should be addressed to Mrs. Potter at bristy.potter@olvjfkmail.com.
