This school fails to protect students. My freshman year I had someone next to me touching…read morethemselves and many people made multiple reports.... Went and told the teacher and she reply's with "what do you want me to do about it" talked to the vice principal Jamie flemming told me it's not sexual harassment and ignored me called police to the school after the student continued to touch himself in class and they never showed up and I was later moved next to the teacher for complaining about it. Students are targeted, they're not helped, and teachers would rather shame then try and reach out. A few of the teachers are amazing and don't deserve to put up with what they do.

My son is in second grade. He started preschool when he was 2 years old at the connected preschool,…read moreearly foundations children's academy. Once he was 4 years old he was able to transfer to St. Joseph's for TK. His teacher, Mrs. Mangas was great. My son was always excited to go to school and always came home singing the cutest songs. He learned SO much in that one year of TK. For kindergarten he was in Mrs. Ramirez's class and it was another wonderful experience. In his kindergarten year I really noticed his social skills developing and he was always talking about the friends he was making. One thing I also noticed is that they did so many hands on projects in Mrs. Ramirez's class. My son did have some behavioral issues while in kindergarten and Mrs. Ramirez was really great about discussing the issues and trying to brainstorm resolutions together after school. This was really helpful because I would do the same things she was doing to help him in class at home, and us being on the same page really helped him. My son is coming to the end of his first grade year and is now in Mrs. Schwartz's class. He loves his teacher and has learned an unbelievable amount of academics this year. They did a really cute play too! They also have an atrium that is sort of like a Montessori classroom set up where the kids get to go explore and learn through hands on activities. My son loves atrium. Another thing that he enjoys is his music class. I really like the smaller community and how involved all of the parents are in their children's success. St. Joseph's has been an amazing blessing to my family and I look forward to having my youngest start when she is old enough for preschool! I have no doubt that my kids are going to have bright futures after attending St. Joseph's!

This school culls less-than-desirable elements from it's student body/parents. If you are a…read moreyummy-mummy, can be a wealthy financial/volunteer donor or if you are a legacy family from the parish, St Josephs school will love you and you will love it. The teachers are wonderful and the education/curriculum is first-rate. If you are a working parent or your child needs any kind of individualized attention from the teacher (think dyslexia or manageable ADHD), the principal will cancel a parent/teacher meeting, reschedule it, and call you at work to come in you ahead of time to his office alone to give you a spiel. You will not be allowed to speak, and no spouse or teacher will be present. The current principal (10/2019) is an educator accustomed to, apparently, submissive behavior from parents and respectful compliance from teachers and students. His own child, he explains, has an IEP. But since private schools do not get funding as public schools do, it's quietly known that he invites parents to leave his school if an IEP is needed for a "nobody student". If you have Ivy League aspirations and a very compliant child, this is a gold-star facility. Otherwise, it will leave you confused and scrambling to find a new school home for your child halfway through the year, or whenever the principal has decided your child isn't worth the teacher's effort. In this case, please seek out the other private religious educational facility in the Redding area, or a Charter school. I'm cutting up my expensive St. Joseph shirts into cleaning rags tonight. My son is not beyond their teaching capabilities even if this isn't the era of nuns with rulers any longer. "Serviam", indeed.

Also the education is kinda a joke, like you don't gotta try for shit if you take the regular classes, but it's kinda like that in every American school so take that as you will. So all in all this school doesn't feel like a real highschool, and it's only good for very specific people.

I know most kids are pretty excited to start school, but this school is amazing! I hear that it was in fact designed by students, it is eco-conscious​ and the focus is truly on arts and enrichment for these kids, which is so important due to the evolution of the economy heading towards creative fields. But most importantly it's essential to their positive development​ giving them the tools that they need to thrive. They make school fun again and give opportunities to so many children to explore, create and use their imaginations to make an impact in our world. So happy to have this jewel in our community!

My child said he was threatened by the kid. I (the parent) was not even notified by the school. I find out through my child crying his eyes out because he's scared to go back. I get home and call school right away. I was told there was absolutly no incedent with a knife. I confront Mr. Moebus (principal) this morning 11/9/18, come to find out I was lied to yesterday and a boy did have a knife. I Tell him my son confided in me he that he was being bullied since day 1, by multiple kids. Moebus tells me quite rudely my son dishes it out too. Hmm. Ive never been informed of my son causing any issue. 11-8-18 however my son was not the one with a knife. Moebus tells me noah was not threatened by this kid cause he reviewed the cameras . First of all those cameras have no sound so how would moebus know that my child was not verbally threatened? I do know this my kid is 11 years old, he felt threatened. I would have even felt threatened. The school had litteraly all day to inform me of incident. As this happened before school started. Oh it gets better...Moebus informs me that my son is bieng suspended today for Moebus having to spend his precious time reviewing servalence yesterday. He decides my kid is a liar and suspendes him, mind you ...again, the other child had a knife, my child had no sort of weapon. As a parent I know if any child shows up at school with any sort of weapons, I'd like to be notified what happened on my child's campus ASAP! Especially if my child is on that camera footage while a kid takes a knife out of his backpack and shows it to My child, he had no idea how to handle that situation. So yea mabey he made up a bit of a lie, getting picked on all the time plays a role mentally, no wonder some poor kids kill themselves. Bullied by the kids, thinking you would be protected by a so called principal. But getting punished instead. GOOD RIDENCE PARSONS! Oh and thanks for making him feel more worthless moebus! really spectacular leadership skills

Every year all teachers spend their own time and money preparing the classrooms for students in addition to the parent meet and greet which is planned on the first day a teacher is paid after the summer break. The heart of the school is its teachers. Teachers are who we know, who love their students and are beloved by their families. I want to thank all teachers at all districts for the hard work they put in every year to create a warm welcoming environment for their students. I wish the districts would actually pay teachers for working these hours. I wish that parents knew how much teachers care about their work. I wish school board members and administrators took the time to thank all of the teachers for their ongoing education and work for which they receive no compensation. Now I want to use my voice to praise all of the heroes in each classroom in the entire world. Thank you for your ongoing work. Thank you for sticking with teaching in spite of the lack of pay, appreciation, and respect. Thank you for your smiles and positive attitudes. For those people who think, "Yeah, must be nice to have all that time off in the summer". You can be a teacher too. But, in the state of CA, plan your finances well. You will have no paid holidays. In CA you will earn only eleven checks a year but not qualify for unemployment for the twelfth month, you will pay almost half of your check in fees, insurance benefits, and taxes. You will be judged by the color of your fingernail polish, hair style or weight. It is a wonderful profession and one of the very few professions talked about during dinner. Do you remember talking about the hair style of the person working at the bank or gas station? You can be a teacher. There are many wonderful families in the world who will support you and will help you to teach. Many administrators work hard, side by side, to support students learning. Teaching is the most special career on earth. Find a Teacher Thank a Teacher Support all teachers Just read the book, 1001 ways to reward employees - most cost nothing... Find a way to reward a teacher's hard work. Be a positive person God Bless the families who trust their children to the many teachers at the many school districts. God bless the teaching staff of all Shasta County Schools I hope for a wonderful teaching year. I miss all of what teaching is and know that all of you work hard and give your whole selves to each student. Thank you Thank you Thank you
