Principal's Message
Dear SFX Family,
I am so grateful that we have been spared major impacts from Marco and Laura. However, I ask that you continue to pray for the safety of those in Laura's path.
We look forward to welcoming PreK-2 through Kindergarten into the fold tomorrow! Please be patient as we add these students to arrival and dismissal. The lines may be a little longer for a couple of days until we get used to having all the students back on campus.
Individual student pictures for PreK-2 through Kindergarten will be Thursday morning. Please send your order envelope back to school. Friday we will celebrate school Mass with grades 4-7.
Please remember to check the School News page when you log in to Gradelink for important announcements, resources, and links. If you need assistance logging in, please contact Mrs. Liz in the front office.
Have a great week!
May God bless you and keep you,
Jessica
