A Note from the Principal


Good morning!

Our school counselor, Ms. Farrohi, helps promote the academic development of our students by offering support through various interventions including individual and group counseling, social-emotional learning classroom lessons, and parent workshops. If you would like for your child to participate in individual counseling sessions, please sign the attached consent form and return in person to the front office or email a scanned copy to [email protected]. You can also find paper copies of the forms in the front office. Please note that students who participated in school counseling last school year will need to turn in a new consent form for the new school year if they are interested in continuing. Ms. Farrohi's contact info: 
[email protected]   #747-248-3277

We'll have our fist earthquake drill on Tuesday. Did you know we do monthly drills to keep our students and staff prepared for any emergency? Check out our emergency plan HERE

Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century

Digital Resource: Dangers of Location Sharing
 Your location is one of the most dangerous pieces of information about yourself if it’s in the wrong hands. Unfortunately, convincing kids to share their location is a common grooming tactic we’ve seen before. That’s why kids should know to never share their location, the school they attend, or any other location-specific information with strangers online.

After the parent meeting, we will host our first Virtus class of the year from 6:30-8:30pm. If you are interested in volunteering at all (on campus or for field trips) you must be Virtus certified.

A Note from the Principal


Good morning & happy back to school week!

Today is the feast day of our own St. Jane Frances de Chantal. Jane Frances was wife, mother, nun, and founder of a religious community.  After her husband died, she looked to the church for meaning. She is the patron saint of Mothers, Wives and Widows. May St. Jane Frances guide us this year and continue to intercede for us. St. Jane Frances, pray for us.

If you haven't watched this yet, here is my 15 minute video with all of our 2024 updates. Please take a minute to watch/listen to it before Wednesday: https://youtu.be/DH4KQi3eeaA
There are changes to our drop off & pick up policies

I hope you are all as excited as we are to get this school year off to a good start! This is my weekly newsletter and it is full of important information. Please take time to read it weekly (it is emailed, texted, and posted on our website and schoolspeak). I also send out a short "Wednesday Reminder" email every week. Additionally, you should receive a weekly email from your teachers to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Thank you to everyone who came to Back to School Night. It was such a great turn out!

Snack sales for grades 2-8 will be available starting on Wednesday.
After school care will be available Wednesday until 6pm- just let your teacher know. After school pick up is from the ramp into the gym accessible through the church parking lot.

Saint of the Day 8/12
Every saint has a story & Saint Jane Frances was wife, mother, nun, and founder of a religious community. During a part of her religious life, Jane Frances had to undergo great trials of the spirit—interior anguish, darkness, and spiritual dryness. 

Saint Jane Frances, pray for us. Read more below:
