View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals I hope everyone had a fantastic long weekend. As we gear up for the new school year, we have some announcements. Schools are dynamic places with things changing all of the time. Next year we will be saying goodbye to Mr. Ranney and Mr. Marinoff. Mr. Ranney will be taking on his own school, St. Joseph School in La Puente.  Mr. Marinoff will continue teaching but a little closer to home. We wish them both luck in their new positions!  Our amazing leadership team has hired Mrs. Karen Taylor, a teacher at St. Catherine School, to take on second grade next year. Our incoming second grade families will hear more about their awesome new teacher soon. Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Taylor to our school.  Yearbooks were distributed on Friday. We have about 10 extra copies of the softcover yearbook in the school office for $30 each if you would still like one. Thank you so much for all of the box donations! I think we are ok on boxes now but if you have any  packing tape, please send it our way :)  Reminders: Summer camp is filling up! Please see the flyer below. If you are interested in camp please see Ms. D in the school office: office@stjanefrancesschool.org Preschool, Kindergarten, First , Second, and Third grades are closed for enrollment and we have started a waitlist!  TK and Fourth grades are nearly full as well. If you know anyone interested in enrolling, tell them to call the office ASAP. Also, if you have not completed enrollment for next year, please do so or you may end up on a waiting list!    Many Blessings!

This can take different forms – being withdrawn, acting out, disobeying, being tearful.
