A Note from the Principal

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 

Could you please do me a favor?
We have only had 20 parents fill out our parent survey. This  is important because it gives our team real feedback that will help us plan for the new school year. PLEASE fill out the parent survey if you have not done so already:
https://ousurvey.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5sVnk7T3iwDf3xk

Just a reminder:
If someone in your home has COVID, PLEASE keep your students home.
Let us stay vigilant, healthy, and in school!
FYI: The department of health has reduced their requirement for quarantine from 10 days to 5 days with a negative test after the 3rd day. IF there is a positive case in your child's classroom they can stay on campus IF (1) they are vaccinated or (2) they have recovered from COVID in the last 90 days or (3) they tested negative with us on Monday at school. 

We still have about 50 boxes of chocolate left in the office. Stop by if you can sell one or two for us! 

After our parent meeting, I spoke to our Choicelunch representative. She asked me to share the customer service options with you and encourages all parents with any issue to reach out: 
 - Get help directly through the app using the HELP function.  There are FAQ's and a direct support submission option.
 - Contact us directly through the website.  If they scroll down to the bottom and click CONTACT US which will pop up a message box and they can follow the prompts.
 - Families can call in directly to 855-465-8624 and leave a message that creates a ticket where CS will call back asap.
 - Finally, we welcome them to email us at [email protected]. 


REMINDERS::
-Dance Class: Free every Monday & Thursday from 3-4pm.
For all the interested, please send an email to  [email protected] 
-Soccer club (on Fridays after school) will continue in February. If you are interested in signing up, please email Nico at [email protected] .
-We will be having a rummage sale in the month of February or March. The parent coordinating this event wanted to let you know in case there is anything you'd like to donate or this event. We will begin taking donations in February. 
-Archiving Photos: Any parent who has a photo scanner at home or who would like to come to school to scan photos- we have decades worth of photos we'd like to archive. Please let Mrs. Castro know by emailing:  [email protected]
 
Many Blessings!
Mrs. Giron

A Note from the Principal

Happy New Year! 
I hope you have all had an amazing holiday with your loved ones. 

As expected, there have been some small changes to the COVID protocols at schools due to the spike in cases. 
1. As of tomorrow, all employees are required to wear a surgical or N-95 mask. Students are also recommended to wear a non-cloth mask. 
2. Masks must be worn both indoors and outdoors unless eating. 
3. All students are recommended to sign up for weekly testing every Monday at our school: https://book.covid-testing-today.com/?StJaneFrancesdeChantalSchool
*Should cases continue to rise or if there is an outbreak at our school, it is possible that the county will make weekly testing mandatory. 
If you or your child has been exposed to someone with COVID or is not feeling 100% healthy, PLEASE stay home.
Let us stay vigilant, healthy, and in school!

Letters updating you on your completed fundraising and service hours will go out this week. If you have any questions about it, please email Mrs. Castro at [email protected]
