Saint Joseph School is a Catholic, co-educational elementary school that exists to promote education and formation of children into maturing Catholics. As an extension of the church, the school shares the church's educational mission to preach the Gospel, to build a community of faith, to foster family spirituality, and to form the disciples of Jesus ready to spread God's message and give themselves in the service of others. In addition, the school provides opportunities to pursue academic excellence, build meaningful relationships, learn responsible citizenship, and develop skills for ethical leadership. To create an environment that responds to the whole child, the school strives to work with the unique personality, talents, and needs of each student.

Therefore, parental involvement is a key component of the education program at Saint Joseph School.
