Week of September 9 - 13

Good morning, Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic School Parents. What a great first week. The students were great, and exceeded my expectations. I made trips into every class throughout the week, using my portable desk. Your students were so excited to be here and seemed to be really enjoying themselves. Thank you to the Parents of Saint Francis that provided breakfast for the staff this week.

Make sure to label your child’s water bottle, and any outer wear they may be bringing to school (i.e., sweatshirts, coats, etc.). If these items are left in the cafeteria, or playground, then we will be able to return them to your child.

New This Week

• I wanted to let you all know that next week September 9th -13th Superior Concrete Restoration is going to be doing the concrete resurfacing on the sidewalks located on the northside of the school and the dumpster area. This means the north exterior doors between the school band room and choir room will not be accessible. as well as the north exterior doors from the community center (Gym) to the dumpster area. The dumpsters and recycling bins are going to be moved to a location in the parking lot.

• Middle School parents, if your student is interested in participating in cross country please let me know as soon as possible.

• We already had a student leave their sweatshirt on the playground. The sweatshirt did not have a name in it. Please label your child’s water bottle, and any outer wear they may be bringing to school (i.e., sweatshirts, coats, etc.). If these items are left in the cafeteria, or playground, then we will be able to return them to your child.

​

• We need a parent volunteer to head up the Lego Robotics Club afterschool. Please let me know if you are interested.

• Join St. Francis's Cub Scout Pack and give your child the opportunity to develop strong character, leadership skills, and a sense of community. Scouting instills values that guide them to make ethical decisions, all while having fun and building friendships. Help your child grow into a responsible leader and citizen by joining our Pack today. Scan the QR code below to get started!  

Smartwatches
Many students wear watches that can access apps on their phone. Students are not permitted to use a smartwatch to access mobile apps or the Internet, or to send and receive messages (text or call) during class periods. Elementary and middle school students are not permitted to use smartwatches for those purposes anytime during the school day.

Violations

Students who violate these rules are subject to disciplinary action, including surrendering their phone or device to the school office until the end of the day. After repeated violations, a student’s phone or device will be held until a parent or guardian picks it up at the office.

We recognize that it can be challenging to manage personal device expectations throughout the school year. We are committed to working with students, families, teachers and administrators to meet these expectations and provide the best learning environment we can.

If you have not done so, please read the handbook and sign the last page. Turn in the signed copy to your homeroom teacher.
