That means that the school year is more than half-way done! Can you believe it? It's true...time flies when you're having fun! CEF applications for financial aid are available in the school office. If you require any reduced tuition next year you MUST complete the application and turn it into the school office before March 31st.  We'd like to wish Ms. Moskal (2/9) and Mr. Marra (2/12) very happy birthdays. We are so blessed to have such amazing teachers working with our students everyday. ::CARNIVAL NEWS:: Our carnival tickets are ready for pick-up with your oldest child's teacher.

They sacrificed some of the opportunities they would have had to be together as brother and sister in order better to fulfill their vocation to the religious life.  Read more below: Saint of the Day Our Mission: St. Jane Frances de Chantal School guides our students and their families to experience the harmony between academic learning, social growth, and Catholic faith formation.
