Summer Office Hours
M-Th 8-12
Dear St. Francis de Sales Parish School Families,
Our Welcome Back Social: Slides, Scoops, & Smiles event has been rescheduled to Sunday, August 24, from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm due to a delay in shipping and installing the new playground equipment. The event will include a blessing ceremony for the new playground equipment, a family meet-and-greet for both new and returning families, and the re-introduction of our returning principal. We will also have an ice cream truck on-site, because let’s be honest, it’s summer and you need ice cream during the summer! Everyone is encouraged to attend if possible. Of course, we understand that summer can be busy, and if you’re out of town or unable to attend, that’s okay.
We look forward to seeing you at another school event when you’re able to join us!
As we prepare for our upcoming Slides, Scoops, & Smiles event on Sunday, following Mass, we are encouraging all of our St. Francis de Sales Parish School family to attend Mass together at 10:30 am. This Mass is a special one as it marks the beginning of our school year and is a great way to begin the day in community and faith before we kick off our Slides, Scoops, & Smiles event. We hope to see you there!
Update on the 5th Grade Teaching Position: The teacher we initially hired for the 5th grade has accepted another opportunity elsewhere. We’ve reposted the position and have already started interviewing new candidates. Fortunately, we’ve had several strong applicants and are confident we’ll find a great fit for our St. Francis de Sales Parish School family!
Ready, Set, Goal: Save the Date! We’re excited to welcome all families, new and returning, to Ready, Set, Goal, our before-school begins parent-student-teacher conferences. This special event is an excellent opportunity for you and your child to meet the teacher, preview the year’s curriculum, ask questions, and share anything that will help us support your child’s success from day one.
Ready, Set, Goal is scheduled for Thursday, August 21, from 1:20–8:00 pm. Please watch your inbox: conference sign-up information will be emailed in early August. All students are expected to attend with a parent or guardian.
As we get closer to the start of the school year on Monday, August 25th, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. We’re here to support you and your child as we prepare for a great year together. Feel free to call or email the school office; we’re happy to help!
