HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION LEADERSHIP
The Home and School Association (HSA) is led by a board of officers and is organized into work groups that plan and coordinate the numerous events and programs that take place throughout the year. Participation as an HSA officer is open to any parent. Positions are one to two years in length and, while voluntary, require a commitment of time and dedication as with any other organization. Please refer to the HSA Bylaws for complete descriptions of the responsibilities associated with each board position.
​
HSA officers are always open to input from St. John the Evangelist families who are welcome to contact them at any time. Specific questions or concerns and ideas for meeting topics and/or guest speakers may also be forwarded to the President.

P.A.S.S.
The Parent Assisted Supplemental Salary P.A.S.S. program is a donation based way to recognize and thank all of our staff for choosing to teach at SJE School. In lieu of room parents collecting monetary donations for individual classroom gifts, contributions will be pooled together and given in the form of a bonus to all staff members two times per year: December for Christmas and May for the end of the school year. To make a donation visit the website or scan the QR Code.

HOME & SCHOOL MEETINGS
HSA meetings are held throughout the year in Trinity Hall (Day Chapel basement) or the MEC (Mobile Education Center). These meetings provide opportunities for parents to ask questions, make suggestions, and obtain important information. They also provide opportunities to plan upcoming events. Parents will earn 1 service hour for attending an HSA meeting. Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. in Trinity Hall and last approximately one and a half hours.

FUNDRAISING
Like all schools, St. John the Evangelist sponsors fundraisers to help bridge the gap between its income and the actual cost of education as well as to raise capital for special projects or needs the school may have. The school is funded through four sources: tuition, parish subsidy, donations/grants, and fundraising. The Home and School Association (HSA) organizes and executes two major fundraising events which benefit the social and academic enrichment of our students. Fundraising events also help to moderate tuition increases. More information on these events can be found under Giving.
​
-
Race for Education is a walk-a-thon where students are financially sponsored by friends and family to walk around a designated area for a designated time.
-
Spring Fling is a parish-wide dinner dance with silent and live auctions.
​
Parent support through committee involvement, event promotion, and actual sales and/or purchases is essential to the success of these events. All families are expected to participate in fundraising events that are coordinated through HSA. Parents should consult the Parent Handbook for more information on what is specifically required of each family.
