On that day she complained of a fever and headache and went to bed early. Her parents thought she had the flu. But by 5:30 am she developed a temperature of 103 and was rushed to the hospital.

New Testing Program

General News

New Testing Program Reflects Solid Curriculum at St. Joseph’s

As part of a new assessment endeavor by the Archdiocese of Boston Catholic Schools Office, all parochial school students took the new Stanford 10 Achievement Tests. The Stanford 10 has been recently reissued after updating the exam with contemporary educational requirements especially in the areas of interpretative and critical reading strategies and more sophisticated 21st century mathematics topics. Unlike the MCAS which measures a set criteria, the Stanford is a comprehensive test of all essential skills across the curriculum.

Dedication of Sr. Catherine & Sr. Elizabeth


Dedication Ceremony....

  "WOW....what a night!!!! On Friday, May 7th, Saint Joseph School celebrated two outstanding woman, Sister Elizabeth and Sister Catherine. The evening was spectacular. With over 300 guests in attendance, Sister Catherine and Sister Elizabeth, were completely taken by surprise to see so many faces, old and new, in one room with one purpose in mind - to honor them. As the bagpipes played, family, faculty, alumni and friends joined together to make the evening a magical event and listen to many heartwarming stories by various speakers. By far, one of the most memorable moments was the hilarious and truly genuine roast by Mr. John Donato...Mr. Donato was a former colleague of the Sisters, at St. Joe's and he reminisced about "the good old days" with the Sisters.

  Grade 2 students of Mrs. Moretti and Ms. Foley at St. Joseph School get a hands on feel for OOBLECK in the School Science lab. Oobleck is a classic science experiment that’s perfect for entertaining both kids and adults. If you haven’t seen it in action it’s very fascinating stuff and before too long you’ll have your hands covered with it, happily making a mess that can be washed away with water.

Chinese Culture and Heritage highlight Multicultural Studies Month


Chinese Culture....

   Saint Joseph School has started a new tradition of celebrating Multicultural education the entire month of February. Rather than one day or week, the faculty decided to take a culture a year to more fully explore with the students. This year’s topic was Chinese Culture and Heritage and the project was a huge success!
  Each day during the month of February, the day started with an announcement describing some aspect of Chinese culture such as Laisee, Chinese foods, the Lantern Festival, Good Fortune, Chinese Dance, Sweeping of the Grounds and Turning Over a New Leaf, the Lunar Calendar and Zodiac.
