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!

Save the Date:
Parent conferences will be the week of November 14.
Photo Make up Day is Friday, November 18.
Thanksgiving vacation is from November 21-25.
Our Christmas program has been scheduled for December 16th (in the evening).
Our carnival has also been scheduled for February 17-19.

School Parking:  Pick up and drop off are becoming a major issue. Please read below:
Hamlin St: Hamlin street should be for valet DROP OFF only. Parents should not park on Hamlin street and walk into the school. Please do not double park. Please try to be good neighbors & don't park in or across driveways.
Church lot: If you would like to walk your child to class, please park in the lot. Remember not to park in handicap spaces or in the red in front of the church.

We would like to encourage everyone to donate to the church's Called to Renew Campaign. This campaign will help to pay for renovations to the gym. You can do a one-time donation or sign up for a monthly donation. If you are interested in donating please see the attachment HERE. 

We are looking for coaches for our boys and girls basketball teams and boys volleyball team. If you are interested, please email Mrs. Moore as soon as possible MMoore@stjanefrancesschool.org

Happy birthday to Mrs. Sangalang (11/5). May God bless you and your work with our students!

Please see attached flyers for Thanksgiving Pan de Vida food collection and our Thanksgiving school celebration. 

Reminders:
We are excited to start our after school dance classes this year:
Tuesdays from 2:50-3:50 will be Armenian folk dancing 
Thursdays from 2:50-3:50 will be Multi-genre dance class
Dance classes are $20 per month for as many classes as you'd like to attend! Come to the theatre room tomorrow after school to sign up!
*Students must wear PE uniform and purchase dance shoes (can be found HERE- in pink or black)

 
Many Blessings!
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.
