Earlier today, Principal Lambert sent out a letter outlining our schedule for Back to School.
School Calendar for 2020 - 2021 School Year. |
| Meet and Greet with Teachers |
|
We are creating opportunities for families to meet their teachers and pick up supplies during the first two days of school. A schedule with the date and time of your family's 10 minute appointment will be emailed to you by the end of this week. We are adhering to 10 minutes to keep the contact time for all under the 15 minute window of exposure, should anyone be asymptomatic. If you have purchased school supplies, we do not need them to be dropped off at this time, as we understand you may be using them at home for virtual learning. Temperatures and a COVID screening will take place before anyone is allowed on campus.

We will be taking school pictures immediately following each student's scheduled teacher meet and greet. Lifetouch photography will be set up in multiple locations on campus. Online pre-ordering is available by creating an account at mylifetouch.com. Please have your child dress in his or her school uniform when coming to campus to meet teachers as all pictures must be taken in uniform.

On Sunday, August 23, Orange County was removed from the state's watch list. As a county, once we reach 14 consecutive days of metrics in the acceptable range as set forth by Governor Newsom's office, all students in grades Kindergarten through Eighth Grade (K-8) may return on campus in a hybrid model, due to guidelines for social distancing in classrooms. As of August 26, we hit day 4 of 14 - keep the prayers coming! Should we continue on this trajectory, the earliest we would be allowed to reopen is September 8th. With this uncertainty in mind, we are setting plans for the first week of school to orient our families and students. As we are updated on the waiver and the watchlist, communication will go out to the community and we will discern the most appropriate transition from online to in-person learning.

This year our Spirit Committee will be adapting the Ice Cream Social to a "Popsicles and Prayer" drive through event. Each grade level will be invited to pull through the school parking lot to receive a popsicle and a small prayer card on either Thursday, September 10th or Friday, September 11th. We encourage you to pray with your child knowing that the entire school community is praying the same prayer together. We hope that this small treat will inject some fun and excitement about the first week back to school. Eastside Park is located up the hill from St. Francis of Assisi School and may be an excellent location to enjoy your special treat.

Friday Morning Prayer via Facebook live - 8:00 am
|
| Joining together in prayer as a community is an important part of the "Spirit of St. Francis" here at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School. As we approach the start of a new school year, we would like to create social and spiritual bonds by connecting in prayer on a weekly basis. We invite you to join us online via Facebook Live for Friday Morning Prayer services at 8:00 am. |
St. Francis School is proud of our wonderful community and what better way to share that pride than to become an ambassador to our school as a mentor family. We are seeking families in all grades to become mentors for our new families for the 2020/2021 school year. You don't need to possess an in-depth knowledge of everything about our school or have all the answers, just a willingness to share the warmth of our SFA community. Some of the responsibilities of a mentor family are:
- Email or phone your new SFA family in mid August to welcome them to SFA and answer any questions.
- Invite your new family as your guest to attend any New Family events (TBD).
- Be available to answer questions that may arise throughout the school year as well as inform families of annual events such as Trick, Treats and Tacos and the Auction.
Our mentor families truly represent the heart and soul of all that makes St. Francis School special. We need caring, welcoming families to be a part of this ministry. It's also a fun and easy way to get volunteer hour credit.
If you would like to be a part of this special ministry, please contact Allison Clewett aclewett@sfayl.org for more information. |
