God never gives us things we can’t handle. I think it goes without saying that He was really with us these past few months. The COVID-19 health crisis, subsequent quarantine, and remote learning scenarios all around our country tested our resolve. But with patience and much prayer, we pick ourselves up and begin again. We begin a “new normal”.

Welcome Back to School! I want to thank you for your warm welcome. In the past few weeks, I have been witness to the kindness and generosity of spirit Principal Mullen often spoke about here at St. Joe’s. Yours is a community of open hearts and minds, I am honored to be seated here at the principal’s desk.

I realize that you have had some tough choices to make recently. Choosing between hybrid models, remote-only learning, etc. The choices are daunting. I want you to know something. You are doing a great job! Navigating through the myriad of questions, decisions, scheduling, and being a parent has been rough. We are here for YOU. 

The faculty and staff at St. Joe’s have been busy all summer getting ready for school reopening. Our Safe Opening protocol follows CDC and NJDOH guidelines and requirements .Your family’s health and wellbeing are of paramount importance to us. Whether you have chosen a hybrid schedule or remote-only for your child, we can’t wait to get started! 

My most sincere blessings to you all for a wonderful start to the school year. God is so good!

Mrs. Cymbaluk
