View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Happy Monday SJF Families!  We are so happy to welcome 6th grade back to campus today. On Monday we will be bringing back small groups in 7th & 8th grades. Be sure to give yourself extra time during drop off and pick up. Here are the updated dismissal times for the next two weeks: PS, TK, K: 2:30pm Mon-Thurs. 12:30 Friday 1st & 2nd: 2:45 Mon-Thurs 3rd-5th: 2pm Mon-Thurs 6th-8th: 12:20pm Mon-Thurs  REMINDERS: *Please try not to drop off lunches in the office. *While we all ove birthdays, at this time we cannot pass out food or opened treats to the classes (ie. pizza, cupcakes, cookies, etc.) Your feedback is invaluable to us. In fact, I feel like it is one way we have grown so much as a school in the last three years! Please share your thoughts this year with us by filling out our quick 5-minute survey:  https://outeducation.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1Y6AricL7phsd5X *You will receive a 2 hour service hour certificate once your results are completed for credit toward service hours next year!  Our enrollment emails went out last week for the 2021-22 school year. If you did not receive one yet, please let Mrs. Giron know.   I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to complete re-enrollment as soon as possible as we are already full to capacity in most grade levels. We are doing about 4 tours a day at this point- our school is GROWING!!  We will have to start a waitlist once our classes reach capacity. All that is due upon enrollment is a $100 deposit toward the registration fee.  Stations of the Cross: Classes will begin presenting Stations of the Cross Weekly on our all-school zoom every Thursday at 9am in Lent. This week will be sponsored by the 3rd grade. Please join us! 2021-2022 School Year: Financial Aid forms are now available for the new school year. If you will need ANY AMOUNT of discounted tuition, you must fill out the financial aid form from CEF by March 31, 2021. The form is available HERE: bit.ly/CEF2021 Re-Registration for the 2021-22 school year: You should've received a link last week to re-register. Please let Mrs. Giron know if you did not get it. Pan de Vida Cereal Drive is still occurring until Easter break. Please donate to those less-fortunate by bringing in a box or two of cereal to your teacher.  PRAYER REQUESTS: Please pray for Mrs. Yadon (Mother of Kiley, Class of 2020) who is in the ICU due to COVID.    Many Blessings!
