St. John's Day School remains open. We will remain open unless we are directed by CYFD to close our school.
PHILOSOPHY/MISSION
St. John’s Day School (SJDS), an outreach ministry of St. John’s Episcopal Church, is a nonprofit organization, licensed by the State of New Mexico (#28585). SJDS is dedicated to the following mission:
We strive to develop each student’s social, physical, educational, and spiritual growth by providing a developmentally appropriate environment that fosters each student’s potential.
We aim to accomplish our mission in the following ways:
Social: encouraging and demonstrating respect for all students and staff, promoting communication and problem solving skills, encouraging responsibility for ourselves and our actions
Physical: structured, teacher led physical activities and unstructured student led free play time
Spiritual: familiarization and learning of bible stories, versus, prayers, as well as weekly chapel time
Educational: teacher directed curriculum including garden, science, alphabet, number, calendar, and other educational concepts
Our academic development consists of familiarizing students with numbers, counting, and math concepts, colors, shapes, music, language, social studies, science, and reading readiness. We will engage the student’s interest using hands on experiences and many varieties of opportunities to learn and explore at a level appropriate for their age.
Creative development is encouraged. Many projects are hands on projects where students are encouraged to color, draw, glue, cut, and make their own version of the subject matter. This is your student’s interpretation and they are very proud of the work they have done.
OPEN DOOR POLICY
SJDS has an open door policy to the office and any classroom. You are welcome to visit at any time, unannounced.
We enjoy parents coming to visit their students during the day. You are welcome to just come say hello, hang out in the classroom, or have lunch with your student.
We must ask, however, that if your visit appears to be disruptive, you leave immediately.
If your student is unable to cope with or recover from your visit, we will ask that you take your student with you as to not cause more stress and insecurity in them for the remainder of the day.
