New Matt Money
We are very excited to announce that we will be able to accept credit card and ACH payments through Option C using Matt Money. I have attached the Parent Account Set Up Instructions and the Matt Money Payment Instructions. We would like everyone to log into Option C and set up their account during the Thanksgiving Break. Our Goal is to be up and running on Monday, November 28th. 

On Tuesday November 22nd after lunch the office will enter the remaining balance of paper tickets into your Option C account. Going from there you will receive notifications of when you need to add money to your account. 

This Matt Money Account can be used for hot lunch, milk, field trips, casual days, yearbook and more.

If you have any questions let us know!

Christmas Parade on December 3rd
St. Francis has a float in the Lake Geneva Parade, celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas.  There will be float building on the 2nd and the actual parade on the 3rd.  If your family and St. Francis student would like to participate in either event, please fill out the Google Form with your information: https://forms.gle/FnvVwtFSdCH7vdeM7.  You can just show up to the parade without building the float, or build the float without showing up to the parade.  More information about each event is on the Google Form.
