View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Happy Easter SJF Families!  April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and I wanted to share just some of the ways that our school is preventing child abuse.  1. All Employees are fingerprinted downtown BEFORE hiring and are entered into the DOJ system.  2. All employees take a 5 hour CA Mandated Reporter Class to learn how to spot and report suspected child abuse.  3. All Employees and parent volunteers are required to take a Virtus class through the Archdiocese  to learn how to prevent and identify child abuse.  4. We empower our students to speak for themselves through the "Empowering God's Children" lessons taught yearly in class.  For more information on how you can prevent child abuse visit: preventchildabuse.org virtus.org Reminders: Our Popcornopolis fundraiser is due next Monday 4/26! Order forms will go out today OR you can order online:  https://fundraising.popcornopolis.com/pages/st-jane-frances-de-chantal-school We will have ONE more fundraiser after this (a basket raffle in May) in case you need to do any more fundraising this year. We are excited to host summer camp this year! Please see the flyer below.
