Principal’s Message
Welcome to St. John Bosco School! We are a 4K through 8th grade Catholic school providing students in Door County with a comprehensive academic and faith based educational experience. I am honored to serve as principal of such a warm and special school community. Working alongside a knowledgeable and professional staff, a caring group of parents, and talented students is a true privilege. The members of our outstanding professional staff are intent on ensuring that all children demonstrate mastery of the curriculum standards. We recognize and embrace the uniqueness of each student and strive to prepare each child in a Christian environment to respond to the opportunities and challenges of the future. We nurture our students, meet their needs, cultivate their interests, and help them grow. We are dedicated to developing lifelong learners where every child is developed individually with his/her learning style and ability in mind.
Schools are in the business of learning and we strive to build our students’ critical thinking and literacy skills. To succeed in the 21st century, our students will need to be able to communicate effectively, problem solve, and have strong interpersonal skills. SJB builds this foundation in our students by offering rigorous and engaging academic programs in the areas of literacy (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), math, science, religion and social studies. Additionally, students are exposed to a variety of arts and specialized skills with instruction in the areas of music (both choral and instrumental), art, computers, Spanish and physical education. Students are afforded varied learning opportunities, and technology is integrated into instruction through the use of laptops, iPads, smartboards, and document cameras.
Education is a partnership between the school and the home and we strive to maintain close contact with our families. No parent community is more caring or more involved than ours! Our Parent Association is second to none in the programs, activities, and support it provides to our children and staff. Parents take a great deal of pride in helping us in our school’s mission, which not only includes the successful academic development of children, but also their social, emotional and faith growth.
There is no doubt that our children are the best around! They embody the spirit of American patriotism, care for the school and community, respect self and others, have a strong work ethic/moral compass, practice their faith and have an understanding that all of the adults associated with St. John Bosco School are working together to help each of them build a successful foundation which will last a lifetime.
We welcome you to our website, confident that it will reflect our pride, serve as a source of information about St. John Bosco and its’ programs and provide access to our staff through email. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Mrs. Dassler, Principal
