A Note from the Principals

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your family and friends. The teachers, staff, and I are so thankful for all of our SJF families. We know that you have many choices when it comes to educating your children and we are honored, every year, that you continue to choose St. Jane Frances.

We'd like to give a big thank you to all of the parents who coordinated our Thanksgiving feast. The students loved it!

Our PTO is in the middle of planing our Christmas Program celebration with food trucks, raffle items, and activities for the whole family. Tickets are on sale today for $10 a person (SJF students get in free!).

Today was the first day of our new lunch service and it was DELICIOUS! If you are interested in ordering lunch for tomorrow, you can order up until midnight! https://organickidsla.com/

Our Fall book fair is next week! Flyers are going home today and this week is the perfect time to set up your child's e-wallet so they don't need to bring cash to school :)

Our school carnival is coming up iFebruary 17-19. This will be a very big event for the school- please save the date and be on the lookout for more information in the next few weeks!

School Parking: Pick up and drop off are becoming a major issue. Please read below:

Website: CommonSenseMedia.org

Media and technology are at the center of kids' lives every day. From a very young age, kids use technology at home and at school to connect with friends and family and to document their lives and create digital content of their own. With more and more of life happening online, what catches kids' attention isn't always what's best for them, and what companies do with their personal information isn't always clear. This website makes it easy to make informed decisions for your family.

Cold/Inclement Weather

Plain, solid-colored navy blue, red, or white sweatshirts, pullover jackets, sweaters, or rain jackets that have no wording or insignia can be worn in addition to a St. Jane Frances de Chantal School jacket. Larger jackets must be removed when in the classroom. Please keep in mind that storage is limited in the classroom and jackets and coats should be sized appropriately. Students may come to school wearing rubber boots but they must be removed and regulation shoes worn during the school day.

During rainy days we will open the school lot for drop off or pickup. PLEASE drive slowly and carefully while on the school campus. Use the victory parking lot as the "in" gate and the Hampin gate as the "exit."

A Note from the Principals

Good afternoon SJF Families!

I am excited to share some amazing data with all of you!
Last month, the superintendent of LAUSD put out a message about school performance before and after the pandemic (read it HERE). She stated that "state scores fell 4% in english and 6.35 % in math. LA county scores fell 3.23% in english and 6.25% in math" between Fall 2019 and Spring 2022. We are proud to share that when we compare St. Jane Frances students' average scaled scores from Fall 2022 to Spring 2022 we had an INCREASE of 11.07% in english and 13.99% in math! In fact, Catholic schools in general have outperformed public schools nationwide. Here is a great article if you'd like to read further: AmericaMagazine.org
THANK YOU to our amazing teachers for going above-and-beyond for our students over the past two years!
