Closing of School
When it is necessary to close school for an emergency situation, such as inclement weather, Santa Fe will follow the same schedule as the Polk County Public Schools. However, Santa Fe may resume classes sooner than the public schools. We will do our best to update all social media and get the information to the local news.
Tag Day Tomorrow,  9-01-16
We have postponed the "All School Retreat" for tomorrow; however, we will still have a Tag Day. The students may wear a Santa Fe T-shirt and blue jeans or school uniform shorts.  We will follow a regular half day rotation of classes.  School is dismissed at 12:00pm.
Tag Day was a Huge Success!
We have the best faculty and students! Tag Day raised $650 for the families of the three Catholic schools in the Diocese of Baton Rouge, Louisiana who have recently lost their homes or had them damaged due to flooding. Go Hawks!
Vending Machine Change
We request that when sending your child with money for the vending machines, please send singles whenever possible.  We are getting an overwhelming number of students requesting change in the office.  We will make change when absolutely needed, but we are literally running out of singles every week.  Thank you for your assistance.
