With One Voice
News & Notes from St. Francis of Assisi School
"That together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ Romans 15:6
***
“But now, thus says the LORD,who created you, Jacob, and formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine. When you pass through waters, I will be with you; through rivers, you shall not be swept away. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned, nor will flames consume you. For I, the LORD, am your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior.” ~ Isaiah 43:1-3a

General Reminders
- Starting after this week, we will issue WOV only on ALTERNATE WEEKS. Our feedback from last year indicates that most families would prefer we not overwhelm your inbox quite so much! If we do every other week, it should be more emphasis on new and important info rather than repeat announcements.
- We gather on the White Top at 7:50 AM.
- Please do not park on the lot for drop-off. Use the carline or park on Chesterfield.
- The late bell rings at 8:05 AM this year (grades K-8).
- Please bring photo ID for afternoon pick-up so teachers can verify you are authorized for pick-up.
- Please return Required Forms ASAP.
