Week of August 28-September 1

​Dear St. Jane Frances de Chantal School Community,
 
Happy 2nd week of school and feast day of St. Monica!  St Monica prayed diligently for her son, St. Augustine.  May we continue to pray for our children as they grow in faith and knowledge.
 
Thank you to all of you that made it to Back to School Night.  We touched upon our school goals of the year: faith (catechetical formation) and excellence/academics (continuing to strengthen instruction school-wide).  I hope that you enjoyed getting to know your child's teacher in order to support them in their school success.
 
A few reminders:

• STAR testing continues this week.  STAR testing helps us to see where each student is in the beginning of the year and how to best support them in their growth.  Please make sure your child eats a well-balanced breakfast and is on time. This is necessary for him/her to do their best. 
• Volleyball tryouts are on Wed. & Thurs. from 3:30-5 PM.  If you need more information, you can talk to Coach Dominguez (3rd grade).  
• Washington D.C. meeting is Thursday at 6:30 PM in the 8th grade room.  This is open for 7th & 8th graders.  For questions, please go to Mrs. Valero.
• Thank you for following our new morning drop off procedure.  I will continue to be outside to help families as the transition.  Remember: you must show your parking permit on your dashboard mirror in order to park by PreSchool, PreK or Kindergarten.  All students must observe parking procedure - when your child comes out of the car by the STOP sign, they must walk around the classroom areas.  This will continue to keep our campus safe.  
• We are looking for dedicated, hard-working parents to volunteer as a room parent.  If you have questions about being a room parent, you can talk to Mrs. Whited (Kindergarten).  

 
Let's have a beautiful and God-filled week. 
 
God bless,
Mrs. Bev Reyes
