A Message From Your SJSC PTO

Welcome Back to School We wish to welcome all of our new and returning families to the St. Junipero Serra Catholic School community as we begin the 2020-2021 school year!

Serra Spirit Store - Used Uniforms At this time we are postponing our used uniform sales, which were originally scheduled for early August. As we move closer to our students being on campus, we will set up a time for all families to shop used uniforms. When school resumes, donations of gently used uniforms will be accepted in exchange for credit that can be applied toward the purchase of used uniforms. At that time, all of our available inventory will be set out—with just those sizes available. Please note, we will not be able to process exchanges or returns during the used uniform sales. Thank you in advance for your patience. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Dennis Uniforms - New Uniforms Dennis Uniforms’ store in Mission Viejo remains temporarily closed. However, if you are in need of new uniforms, customer service representatives can assist you over the phone by calling 800-854-6951. Visit their website HERE and use the SJSC school code: AN00SE.

Snack Bar and Lunch Programs Snack Bar: At this time, we will not be starting the school year with a snack bar for students. We are working on ideas that would allow us to provide a modified snack bar that will comply with all health and safety requirements. Hot Lunch: We are finalizing the details of our hot lunch program and hope to have an announcement for you in our next communication. In-N-Out: As of now, In-N-Out Burger will not be a lunch option this school year. We are looking at opportunities for special lunch days and treats throughout the school year. Of course, this all depends on our ability to comply with all health and safety protocols that will need to be in place. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this uncharted territory.

Fall Outreach Programs The “Moment in Time” Book Club resumes virtually on September 22! Details to come! We continue working with our Leadership Team to finalize other outreach programs for the 2020-21 school year.

Community Event Please save the date for our NEW outdoor family night, an SJSC Cinema Pop-up: Friday, November 6. A movie will be shown on the SJSC field and concessions will be available for pre-purchase. Additional details to follow in the coming weeks.
