First Week of School Recap
August 2022
Dear Crusader Families,
Many thanks to all of the students, parents, and staff for an amazing first week of school!
The students have looked so nice in their uniforms, they have been on their best behavior, and their academics are starting to ramp up.
Thank you to all the parents who have completed the back to school paperwork. If you have not had a chance to complete the paperwork, please do so over the weekend, then have your child bring it to school on Monday.
SFDS is very blessed to have such a supportive, dedicated, and talented community of students, parents, and staff!
Gratefully,
Sarah Bitzer
Principal

Crusader Kitchen
The information about the lunch program is listed below.
This year, there will be a Share Bin for students who want to exchange or get some extra food for free. We have reviewed the information with the students during their lunch periods on how the process works. Only unwanted, uneaten, and unopened items are allowed.
Lastly, there will be a special "Lucky Tray Day" every Friday. Students who have a special mark on the bottom of their lunch tray will receive a prize from Ms. Johnson and Mrs. Thomas. Today was the first Lucky Tray Day!
How can I get involved?
Whether as room parent, cafeteria, library, playground, coach, chaperone or committee member, our volunteers play a key role in the success of our school. Parent and grandparent volunteers have a first-hand opportunity to see their child’s daily activities and interactions, meet their teachers and friends, and have an active role in their child’s school environment.
St. Francis de Sales School, along with the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, operates in full compliance with The Decree on Child Protection which requires Safe Parish training and electronic background checks for all volunteers.
- To register for training, visit AoC Safe Parish (aocsafeenvironment.org) and click Register on the top right. The passcode is protectcincy.
- Complete the online Selection.com background check.
- Complete quarterly bulletins throughout the year. The bulletins will be sent to your email.
If the steps above are not complete, then the individual will be unable to volunteer within the school.
Classroom Parent Helpers
There are no parents signed up to be a classroom parent for the 6th grade or 7th grade classes. Please take time to sign up if you have not had a chance.
