View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal Good morning! This week there is going to be an extreme heat wave getting up to 107 by Thursday! We will plan to have an indoor (rainy day) lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. PE will be inside the classrooms starting after recess everyday this week. Please be sure to send  a water bottle and cool clothes (no sweaters this week- even for mass- please). If your child is still here 15 minutes after dismissal, they will be sent to After School Care. In order to pick up from after school you will enter through the cafeteria located in the church parking lot. The daily rate of $25/day will be charged at the end of every month. You may call of after school phone number from 3pm-6pm daily (818) 233-0763⁩. My son, Evan, and his baseball team will be doing a carwash here on Saturday from 1-4pm to fundraise for their Cooperstown trip next summer. If you need a carwash come on by! Reminders from Last Week: Drop Off:   Valet tips- please have students sit on the driver's side in the back if possible and be ready to get out of the car upon arrival. Please wait until you are at the 3 front spots in the line to exit the vehicle. Parents should never exit the car. Please drop off in the parking lot until 8am. After 8am, please drop off in the school office on Hamlin st.    Pick up: Please do not arrive earlier than 2:30pm (or 12:15 on Fridays). There is no reason to line up in front of the gates and do not line up on Victory Blvd. as this may cause traffic/accidents on the street. Thank you for remaining in the parking lot until the bell rings at 2:45pm (12:30 on Fridays). We encourage middle school parents to arrive a little later around 2:55pm (12:40 on Fridays) for a smoother pickup (and to avoid traffic).    NEVER walk through the drive-in gate on Hamlin St. This is dangerous with all the cars exiting. Please only walk through the school office if needed.     Many Blessings!

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/ After School Care phone number: (818) 233-0763⁩ Save the Date Mon: No School Fri: 12:30 dismissal School Calendar SPARTAN SPORTS Are you interested in coaching a team this year? Contact  [email protected] Saint of the Day 9/3 Every saint has a story & Saint Gregory was direct and firm. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. Saint Gregory the Great, pray for us.
