FJVD Weekly Info
We Live the Word!
From the Principal's Desk
Dear FJVD Families,
We're excited for the opportunity to share details and information about your child's educational growth at parent teacher conferences this afternoon and tomorrow. Parent teacher conferences play an essential role in the partnership between home and school, and we look forward to spending this time with you. Please reach out to your classroom teacher if you have not yet received a Zoom link for your conference.
An important clarification regarding the week ahead - Monday, October 19th is a full day of school; however, hot lunch service will not be provided on Monday. Monday is a "Pack Your Own Lunch" day.
We're excited for two wonderful fall events, our Trunk or Treat and Walkathon! See below for more details:
PTO Halloween Drive-Thru Trunk or Treat - October 24th
- Halloween is around the corner and the PTO has worked hard to put together a fun and safe event for the community but they need your help! Please consider decorating your trunk, or carving a pumpkin or two! This year everyone attending will need to RSVP by 10/16. Please use this link or fill out the form attached below to let them know how you plan to participate, even if you just plan to Drive Thru. See the flyer & sign up under Important Forms and Documents below!
FJVD Annual Walkathon & Fun Run - Week of October 26th
- Though the format will be slightly different, we're excited to be preparing for another Walkathon & Fun Run this year! Not only is this a great community event with students enjoying an afternoon of activities, it also helps support the school with fundraising efforts going towards the advancement of our academic programs.
We have already raised over $2,500 of our $7,500 goal - this is tremendous! If you have not yet set up your Anython.com account, information on how to do so was emailed to parents and a hard copy was also sent home.
We also announced our two major walkathon prizes this week:
Highest Total Raised - Individual Student
The student who raises the most funds overall will have a choice between two major prizes:
- Segway Ninebot eKick Electric Scooter
- Bicycle (purchased upon winning to ensure appropriate size, color, style, etc.)
Class Grand Total - Highest Average Total per Student
The class who raises the most funds average per student will receive one month of free Friday ice cream!
Thank you so much for your support, and best of luck in the competition!
Dressing for the Weather
Students are encouraged to wear layers and warm clothing as the weather turns colder. We will continue to hold snack, recess, lunch, and physical education outdoors whenever possible. With this in mind, please ensure your child is dressed for the elements. It's not too late to order a few pieces of cold-weather Spirit Wear through our SquadLocker Store!
Probable Cases & Testing Procedures: The Department of Health has released additional resources for families regarding how to proceed if your child has symptoms at home or becomes ill at school. You can find the RIDOH Resources for Families here. Please note, if your child is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 that indicate a probable case, please call 844-857-1814 from 7:30am-9:30pm seven days a week schedule a test through the K-12 Testing Network. You should also notify the school as soon as possible.
If your child is experiencing symptoms and is being tested, two tests will be conducted at the K-12 testing site - a rapid test with results within 24 hours, and a PCR test with results within 48 hours. Please note, students are not permitted to return to school until both tests are negative and symptoms have resolved. In addition, families must complete the After Illness Return Attestation Form which can also be found on the homepage of our school website under "Important Links."
A reminder that our hybrid learning policies for students absent due to illness or quarantine can be found in our Hybrid Learning Guide for Students and Families as well as in a quick reference guide here.
God bless and Go Saints!
Sincerely,
Mr. Peloquin

This program is a great way to reduce the cost of your tuition while supporting FJVDl!
The Process:
- The school purchases shopping cards from all of your favorite stores
- You purchase the cards from the school, paying face value and spending the same dollars you would have paid to the stores directly
- The school earns a percentage discount offered by participating stores.
For each $50.00 you spend, you get a stamp on your Tuition Discount Card. Fill the entire card and redeem it for a $75.00 check!
Cards currently available include:
Stop & Shop, Applebee's, Barnes & Noble, Dave's, Dunkin Donuts, Panera, Wal-Mart and more!
Stop by the school Monday-Friday 7:45am-8:15am, the Rectory Monday-Friday 1:45-2:15pm, or in the Parish Center after the 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30am Sunday Masses to purchase your gift cards!

Aluminum Can Tab Collection
What: Aluminum can tabs are being collected
Why: To support the Ronald McDonald House in Providence
How can you help? Save can tabs and send them in to Mr. Godin’s room.
Bottle Cap Drive
We’re excited to share that our school is part of the Coca-Cola Give program. This provides new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students. The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you make Coca-Cola purchases, you simply send in bottle caps or product codes from boxes of beverages and our school receives a donation.
All caps and codes should be sent to Mr. Godin. Codes will be entered on one account to gain larger and quicker donations.
Thank you!
