There will be no school on Friday 5/3 due to a teacher work day for our WASC visit next year.  Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Please look for an email from your room parents.  We are looking for a volunteer to come help a gala vendor on Saturday afternoon (5/4) at 12:00 prep some deserts. It will be at school on Saturday at noon. If you are interested in getting service hours, please call the school office. We'd like to invite all of our SJF moms to mass on Friday, May 10th for a special day celebrating our Mothers! Mass starts at 8am.  EPI School Supply ordering is back by popular demand!  Order your school supplies for the 2023-24 school year now and you'll only need to purchase a backpack and lunchbox. CLICK HERE to order your supplies. *This is only a convenience option for families who would like to purchase supplies this way.  Yearbooks are available for pre-order until THIS Wednesday May 1, 2024.

Sometimes rumors can spread and we have no way of clearing them up... Here is what I'd like parents to know: The tuition families pay only pays for the teachers' salaries and benefits. We don't receive any funding from the church or the government. The way we pay for all of our other bills and improvements is through fundraising. If we didn't do any fundraising, we would have to raise tuition almost $2,000 per student! Your support of events like the Gala, Jog-a-Thon, and candy sale mean a great deal to our school.
