St. John the Evangelist Catholic School

26-27 School Year

A Michigan State Requirement

In accordance with Michigan Compiled Law (MCL 380.1293), nonpublic schools, including St. John, are required to provide students in grades 8–12 with a Post-Graduation Opportunities Informational Packet by October 1 each school year.

This state requirement is intended to ensure students and families have access to information about opportunities after graduation, including college, career training, employment, financial aid, and other pathways.

Pathfinder is part of Michigan's resources for helping students and families explore these opportunities. We are pleased to share this resource with our families as part of our commitment to preparing students for their future.

What Can You Explore with Pathfinder?

Through Pathfinder, families can:

Explore exciting career options based on students’ interests.
Discover Michigan colleges, universities, and schools offering programs in specific fields.
Learn about job outlooks, projected openings, growth potential, and salaries.
Explore Michigan’s top careers.
Create a personalized educational and career roadmap!

Getting Started Is Easy!

* Visit Pathfinder.MiTalent.org and follow three simple steps:

Choose an occupation.
Choose a field of study.
Choose a school.

Pathfinder will generate a personalized educational roadmap to help guide students toward their chosen career destination. Roadmaps can also be saved, emailed, and printed for future reference.

Whether your child already has a career in mind or is just beginning to explore their interests, this is a wonderful opportunity to start conversations about their God-given gifts, talents, and the many ways they can use them to serve others in the future.

We encourage all families, especially those with students in grades 8–12, to take some time to explore this valuable resource together!

(English, 7th Literature, 8th Literature)

As we settle further into the school year, we are continuing to work on organization and responsibility in homeroom. Students are learning the importance of keeping their lockers, planners, and materials organized so they can come to class prepared and ready to learn.

Parents can expect an email soon with an opportunity to donate a few organizational items for our classroom and student lockers, such as locker storage and organization supplies. We appreciate any extra help as we work together to build strong habits that will help our students become more independent and successful throughout the school year!

(Math, 6th Literature)

We are making great strides in our Math and 6th grade literature now! The school year is 6 weeks in and we are cooking! Students should spend time this weekend checking their grades across all subjects and figuring out if there are any missing assignments they could work on and turn in. Each assignment is working toward the overall goal of learning, understanding, and applying the knowledge they are being introduced to every day.

Have a wonderful weekend!
