View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Happy Monday, SJF Families! I hope everyone is enjoying the long Labor Day weekend! It’s hard to believe we are already heading into our fourth week of school. The beginning of the year always seems to fly by, and it has been wonderful to see our students settling into their routines, making new friends, and getting back into the rhythm of school. We have another great week ahead at SJF! Notice: Due to low enrollment, the Ballet after school class has been cancelled.  THIS WEEK AT SJF □ Fall Picture Day — Wednesday, September 9 Wednesday is Fall Picture Day! Students should wear FULL MASS ATTIRE. We are looking forward to capturing those smiles and having these memories from the beginning of the school year. There are no order forms to fill out before time.  Success For All We have officially started our Success for All reading program! The teachers have worked hard to make sure the program is successful. All students will have nightly homework (Monday-Thursdays) called "Read & Respond." It requires nightly reading of any material (books, comic books, cookbooks, gaming guides, etc) and a parent signature. We ask that all choice reading material come from the school classroom libraries or be approved by the classroom teachers. REMINDER: To keep everyone focused on learning there is no student drop off from 8am-10am daily. LOOKING AHEAD □ Monday, September 21 — Faculty Retreat There will be no school for students on Monday, September 21, as our faculty and staff will be participating in our annual retreat and professional development. ⭐ Friday, September 25 — Student of the Month We will be celebrating our September Students of the Month! More information will be coming home to families as we get closer to the celebration. As always, please make sure you are checking your child's teacher communications and the school calendar regularly. There is a lot happening at school, and we want to make sure everyone has the information they need! Have a wonderful week! Many Blessings!
