Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are all 12:30 dismissal days due to parent conferences. Friday we will have mass as usual followed by the Honor Roll awards for grades 6-8.  Students will participate in a Thanksgiving feast organized by the PTO and room parents on Thursday afternoon.  One of the easiest ways to support our school this holiday season without spending any money is by registering your loyalty cards.

Mrs. Giron & Ms. Reagan THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century 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.    Quicklinks: Uniforms: https://www.dennisuniform.com/schools/SH00JF Lunch: mmmcaterings.com school code: SJF-52322 Tuition Payments: (866) 441-4637  https://online.factsmgt.com/SignIn.aspx  School Calendar:  HERE and on our website Parent Student Handbook: HERE Save the Date This week: Wednesday: 12:30 Dismissal, Parent conferences Thursday: 12:30 Dismissal, Parent conferences Friday: 12:30 Dismissal, Parent conferences Nov. 21-25 No School- Happy Thanksgiving!

MMoore@stjanefrancesschool.org #GoSpartans Saint of the Day 11/14 Every saint has a story & Saint Gertrude the Great practiced a spirituality called “nuptial mysticism,” that is, she came to see herself as the bride of Christ. Her spiritual life was a deeply personal union with Jesus and his Sacred Heart, leading her into the very life of the Trinity. Saint Gertrude, pray for us.
