Dear Parents and Guardians,

In light of the recent closure (March 16 through March 27) announcement from the Diocese of WIlmington, the following plan for SJB Middle School is being put into place.

Students should refer to the teacher pages for instructions regarding assignments.  The subject area schedule is as follows for each week that we are out:

   Monday -- math, social studies, ELA

Tuesday -- science, religion, ELA

Wednesday -- Spanish, art, gym, computer

Thursday -- math, social studies, ELA

Friday -- science, religion (journaling), ELA, Spanish

Students are expected to complete all work as assigned to ensure that instruction can move forward upon return to school.  All work is due on the day that it is assigned. Certain assignments will be graded at the discretion of the teacher.

Teachers will be checking email periodically throughout the scheduled school day 8:00 am -- 2:30 pm.

We hope that everyone stays healthy and we look forward to our return to school.
