Principal's Message
Dear SFX Family,
Standardized testing went well last week! Thank you for making sure the students were here on time and ready to go.
We are watching the weather for Friday and will keep you posted should anything change for 1st-7th Field.
Today is the last day to sign up to help at the Parish Work Day on Saturday from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM. You can call or email Rachel at the Parish Center: Call 834-0340 or email rgriffin@stfrancisxavier.com.
DISMISSAL: Please do not line up early. This creates a line into the neighborhood and down Metairie Rd. which then causes issues with the neighbors. 2:50 PM is the earliest a line can begin to form. Please inform anyone who may pick up for you. Thank you.
Please be sure to read through this week's newsletter for important updates and information. Also, please refer to the school Google calendar for the most up-to-date information. Have a great rest of the week!
May God bless you and keep you,
Jessica

- Single Riders are dismissed from Betz Pl. Please go to your usual location even if a sibling is sick or out of school. The students are used to going to their designated side.
- If anyone in your immediate family tests positive, please notify Ms. Dwyer immediately. You can call the school, 833-1471, or email if after hours.
- Students should be kept home if they have any symptoms and their doctor should be consulted. Please do not assume it is allergies or a cold or send them to school after giving medication.
