Dear St. Francis of Assisi School Family:
Welcome back! We’re happy to have our students returning to school and a special welcome to the new students joining our St. Francis family. Once again, we hope to continue our mission of providing each student with a faith-centered education. It is our goal to meet the needs of each child to the best of our ability. We strive for excellence! I know you will all be pleased with some changes in the curriculum that have been implemented this year! Not only are we pleased with these improvements, but also we look forward to the other programs we have added!
Look for: New Literacy Program, Smaller class groupings according to ability, Project Brother Sun, NEHS (National Elementary Honor Society for grades 6,7,8), Motivational program for homework completion, Daycare changes, New After –school enrichment programs, Hot lunch menu improvements, Library enhancement, more smart boards, Pre-K 4 additional morning session, exciting & creative fundraisers, Professional development opportunities for teachers, Parent-training workshops & More
We want your child to be happy and successful at St. Francis of Assisi School and believe that our parents play a key role. At St. Francis, we join with the family to help students understand their special place in the family, the Church, and society. We encourage family input and involvement in the ongoing education of children. We strive to create a special bond among the students, the home, the school, and the church, so that all share the strong sense of community.
At school, we try to create a safe environment where courtesy and kindness prevail and where there is respect for one another. Our expectation for high standards, strong motivation, effective discipline and caring atmosphere combine to foster a unique sense of belonging and happiness amongst our students.
Looking forward to a great year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. LaGuardia
