SFA Golf Tournament and Online Auction - May 3, 2021
|
We are excited to announce that St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School will host a Golf Tournament and Online Auction: May the Course Be With You from May 3-7, 2021. The week long "fun" raising event will be the largest fundraiser of our school year.
In the past four years, our annual auction galas have raised over half a million dollars! The monies raised have directly translated into our STEM Lab, Innovation Center, school security system, MacBook computers for the teachers, and school-wide iPad program's expansion. With the addition of a Golf Tournament as a kick-off to the online auction, we anticipate that this year's event will surpass the fundraising achievements of prior years and allow us to continue to make an impactful difference on students' education.
Golf Tournament - May 3, 2021
Online Auction - May 3-7, 2021
Stay tuned for more details on purchasing tickets to the golf event and additional ways you can participate in the online auction.

Teacher & Staff Monthly Recognition
|
 On behalf of our SFA Community, in an effort to support our hard working SFA teachers and staff during this challenging year, we are launching a "Recognition of the Month" program. Classes are coupled together for a designated month to do something special for all of our teachers and staff who have gone above and beyond the call of duty this year. Room Parents have been given the details and will be reaching out to you to either solicit participation or inform you of what is being done. If you are interested in helping, please contact your Room Parent.
Thank you to the 4th and 5th grades parents who lovingly expressed their gratitude and shared Christmas lunches from Nikki's Kitchen, gift bags, and ornaments with all the staff and faculty.

Yearbook - Photos Needed!
|
 We are proud to announce that this year the St. Francis yearbook will be designed by students! We would love your support with this project.
Given the unusual structure of learning in 2020 (in-person, hybrid, and virtual) we do not have the opportunity to capture as many images during regular school hours. In addition, with many events and activities moving to an online format, we are at a disadvantage when it comes to visual representations of those programs. From time to time we will announce a specific photo theme and ask for submissions from the community.
Please send all yearbook photo submissions to [email protected]. |
Did you know that students who purchase yearbooks are 800% happier than their non-yearbook-toting counterparts? Unverified...but true! The 2020-2021 SFA yearbook will contain pages of memories that will make you smile. Order your yearbook and become 800% happier today!
The cost for a 2020-2021 yearbook was included in class fees for 8th Grade students. It is not necessary to purchase a yearbook for students in the class of 2021!

Shared Responsibility Reminder
|
As a reminder, St. Francis requests that families screen their students for symptoms of COVID-19 at home before arriving at school each and every day. Anyone with a fever of 100.4° F or greater within the past 24 hours must stay home as well as fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, new loss of taste or smell, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, fatigue, diarrhea, congestion or runny nose, nausea and vomiting. In addition, anyone with recent close contacts within the past 14 days with known or suspected COVID-19 positive cases must stay at home. Personal illness, quarantine, COVID-19 illness, and symptom-related absences will be excused.
This shared responsibility is critical to our ability to keep our school open for hybrid learning. In support of this partnership, the school will send out regular reminders to families periodically. Please report your student's illness with details of all symptoms to their school Covid Coordinator. A school staff member will follow up on all students that are at home with COVID-19 symptoms.
Lastly, it is important to note that a student who is sent home, stays home, or has been exposed to COVID-19 and is at home in quarantine, will be able to access live classroom instruction from home if they are healthy enough to participate. Thank you in advance for your commitment to this shared responsibility. |

| 6th Grade Families - Immunization Requirement |
|
TDap immunization is needed before your child enters 7th grade. Once this requirement has been met, please be sure to forward documentation to the SFA office. We will need this information prior to the start of the 2021 - 2022 school year.

The St. Francis of Assisi Scrip Program is a major fundraiser used to reduce tuition costs for families at SFA. The scrip program provides families the ability to purchase retailer gift cards through various providers. Those retailers then rebate a percentage back to the school to pass on to each buyer.
The SFA Scrip Program will run on a yearly basis from April 1 through March 31 and will operate weekly throughout the school year with minor deadline and delivery changes due to holidays and vacations. Participants must check the school newsletter for updated order and pick up schedules.
