St. Joseph School teachers welcome and encourage communication with families regarding all aspects of a student's development. Faculty Fast Facts Contact Information 585-344-0106 tbowman@sjsbatavia.org Why a Catholic Education Matters I feel a Catholic education is important because it develops the whole person, both academically and spiritually. The reason I choose to work at St. Joseph’s School is because it is a family, friendly environment. Both the families and the faculty are very supportive and wonderful to work with.

I'm also going to have the students begin planning the Masses for the month of December and January.
