Mrs. Giron & Mr. Salazar DID YOU KNOW?  Only our middle school students participate in Honor Roll Awards (6th-8th grades). This is because we want to focus on progress rather than grades at SJF. What's most important is not just the grades, but the progress students make in their learning journey.  THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century Digital Resource: Virtus.org Register online at Virtus.org and have access to dozens of current articles about how to keep kids safe!  Quicklinks: Uniforms: https://www.dennisuniform.com/schools/SH00JF https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/16TU760L52XNI?ref_=wl_share Tuition Payments: (866) 441-4637  https://online.factsmgt.com/SignIn.aspx  School Calendar:  HERE and on our website Parent Student Handbook: HERE Hot Lunch: https://ali-cateringservice.com/october-st-jane-frances-de-chantal-school/ Save the Date This Week: Parent-teacher conferences Wednesday: 12:30 dismissal Thursday: 12:30 Dismissal Friday: 8am mass & Honor roll  12:30 dismissal Next Week: No School- Happy Thanksgiving   School Calendar SPARTAN SPORTS We are looking for volunteer coaches for boys and girls basketball!!
