View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal Happy Monday, SJF Families! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. The teachers and I have decided to stream our weekly masses from the classroom for a few weeks until cold and flu season calms down a bit. The teachers will be using this as a learning opportunity to teach more deeply about the parts of the mass and the proper church etiquette. We will still ask that all students continue to wear their mass attire every Friday. This Friday, 9/24 is picture day. Please send your student in mass attire.  There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday 9/27 due to a faculty retreat. We have been working with a COVID testing lab for our teachers and have decided to offer optional free COVID testing for our students. This is most important for our sports players, but it will be open to any family that would like their students tested weekly. The test will be a cheek swab done on campus every Monday (starting next Tuesday since we have no school on Monday) and is free of charge. If you are interested in signing your child up, please register HERE. Student testing is NOT mandatory. Cheerleading: Due to a lack of interest, we will NOT be having a cheerleading team this year.  REMINDERS:: Choicelunch ordering change: New ordering deadline for choicelunch.com requires 3-day advanced ordering for full menu.
