View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Happy Monday Everyone!  Welcome to the first full week of school. We have been SO grateful to see your children online this past week. I know I speak for all of the teachers when I say that we've missed them & cannot wait to have them back on campus with us! Just a reminder that you should be receiving 2 emails a day from me (on Mondays & Wednesdays). If you aren't getting them, please let the office know.  STAR Testing will begin this week. Your teachers will have more information on how you can sign up for EITHER in-person small group testing OR online testing (per parent preference).  Mr. Marra would like to know if anyone would be interested in joining a socially distanced gardening club on Friday afternoons. This would be limited to 10 students and everyone would have to wear a mask while working in the garden. Fill out this interest form if you'd like to join: CLICK HERE We have also received clearance to resume sports "practice" with social distancing. If any parent is interested in coaching a team please contact Mr. Cuevas (ECuevas@stjanefrancesschool.org) and hopefully we can start some team practice on campus soon! REMINDERS: PARENT HOMEWORK: Our Back to School Paperwork is available on Schoolspeak. Please click on "2020-21 Back to School Packet" on the left menu to complete it this week. We will be using Google Classroom this year. Ms. Dominguez created a tutorial for parents and students! Check it out here: On a computer: https://youtu.be/cFJLKh449jo On the app: Crown Uniforms is closing. They will be having a 50% off sale this month! We are moving to Dennis Uniforms and we'll let you know when they have our inventory ready.   Many Blessings! Mrs. Giron & Mr. Ranney SJF Parish News Please follow our SJF Church's new Facebook page!  http://www.stjanefrancesparish.org/  Also, if you can, PLEASE consider moving your weekly donations online through the parish Paypal HERE. They support us a lot through the years and will have a hard time without being able to have their weekend collections. Thank you!  THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century RESOURCES: Freckle Freckle.com or the app is a great way to support our students in reading, phonics, comprehension, and math.
