A Word From Our Principal

Dear St. Francis Borgia School Families,

We are down to less than two weeks of school left in the school year. At the beginning of the year the world was definitely in an unstable circumstance. I was not sure how long we would be able to stay in person five days a week. Fortunately, with everyone working together to maintain health protocols we did not need to close the school at all. Thank you so much for your contribution to sustaining our in-person option. 

Many things needed to be adjusted to fit into the parameters of Covid. I am looking forward to next year when things can return to normal. I had to make many difficult decisions due to Covid. Most of those items will no longer be in effect. 

Anticipated changes:
  • No Wellness Wednesdays
  • 2 lunch periods
  • One K-8 mass
  • Parent participation encouraged 
  • Parents back in the building
  • Sports programs in place
  • All school assemblies
  • Faith Families
  • Face-to-face school events
  • Students rotate to classes
  • Specialist teachers will teach in their classrooms
  • Library will be open!
  • Hands-on learning experiences
  • Buddy program reinstated 
  • Live concerts and musicals with full audiences 
  • Combined class activities
  • Field trips!

This is by no means a complete list of all the fun, exciting, and “normal” things to look forward to next year. I sincerely look forward to our long-awaited meeting and future conversations.  

Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do to assist your family or answer questions.  

Many Blessings,
Amy Royes

Please join the novena for our brothers and sisters at St. Paul's Parish in Mukono, Uganda.

Please join us in this prayer every day leading up to June 3rd, the feast day of the Ugandan Martyrs. What a beautiful opportunity, as the body of Christ, to ask the intercession of these special saints!

O Lord Jesus Christ, who wonderfully strengthened the Holy Martyrs of Uganda St. Charles Lwanga, and their companions; and gave them to us as examples of faith and fortitude, chastity, charity, and fidelity; grant, we beseech Thee, that by their intercession, the same virtues may increase in us and in our brothers and sisters in
Mukono, Uganda and that we may deserve to become propagators of the true faith.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns in the world without end. Amen.
