STEM Journey

On Thursday April 25, 2024, we will have two assemblies as part of a “Chemists

Celebrate Earth Week” activity organized by Jennifer Maclachlan, parent of

Hannah Maclachlan ‘25, and made possible by funding from PID Analyzers, LLC

and the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society (NESACS). The

Preparatory Division will attend The Magic of Chemistry Show featuring Dr. Al

Hazari, retired Professor of chemistry from University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

The High School Division will attend a lecture by Dr. Luke Roberson, Senior

Principal Investigator for Flight Research at NASA FL Kennedy Space Center,

who will share his ‘STEM Journey’ as well as some of his current research which

focuses on human missions to establish surface habitats on the Moon and Mars!

For parents and caregivers who are interested in the NASA lecture, there is a

public science cafe event occurring on the evening of Thursday April 25 at the

Wequaquet Lake Yacht Club in Centerville from 5pm-8pm with keynote lecturer,

Dr. Luke Roberson. Should you wish to attend the STEM Journey Science Cafe

It is time for our annual Health Screenings. From the weeks following April vacation until the end of the school year, our School Nurses will conduct various health screens as required by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. If screening results indicate the need for follow-up care by a physician, parents/guardians will be notified.

The schedule of the screenings at St. John Paul II School is as follows:

Grades 5-8: Postural (Scoliosis)

6th Grade: Vision and Hearing

9th Grade: Vision, Hearing, and Postural (Scoliosis)

10th Grade: Body Mass Index (BMI) and  SBIRT screening —SBIRT stands for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment. SBIRT is used to screen for alcohol, nicotine, tobacco, and other drug use. SBIRT screening will be done using the CRAFFT screening tool (for more information, contact Ellen Byrd at ebyrd@jpiihyannis.org). This health screening is required by Massachusetts law.

As with all health screenings, you or your child may opt-out. If you would like to opt out of one or more of these screenings, please email or call the school nurse no later than April 19th.
