View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal Good morning & happy back to school week! Today is the feast day of our own St. Jane Frances de Chantal. Jane Frances was wife, mother, nun, and founder of a religious community.  After her husband died, she looked to the church for meaning. She is the patron saint of Mothers, Wives and Widows. May St. Jane Frances guide us this year and continue to intercede for us. St. Jane Frances, pray for us.

Mrs. Giron  THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century Digital Resource: Dangers of Location Sharing  Your location is one of the most dangerous pieces of information about yourself if it’s in the wrong hands. Unfortunately, convincing kids to share their location is a common grooming tactic we’ve seen before. That’s why kids should know to never share their location, the school they attend, or any other location-specific information with strangers online.  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 Wed.
