Important Information and Forms to Complete

The start of a new school year means a review of policies and procedures as well as the acknowledgment or completion of important forms. Please review the following from the Dean’s Office:

  • Emergency Information: All students must have emergency information on file before the first day of classes. This is done through Final Forms.
  • Parent-Student Handbook 2024-25: All parents need to review and acknowledge the Parent & Student Handbook. During its review, please pay particular attention to the uniform/dress code.
  • Medication: If your student requires medication that she’s not allowed to carry with her, please fill out the medication/medical release form and return it to the front office.
    • Students may carry one dose (up to 4 pills) of aspirin, tylenol, and midol type products. All other medication (except EPI pens, inhalers, or diabetic meds) should be stored in the main office and a medication/medical form signed by parents turned into the front office.  
  • Traffic flow for pick-up, drop-off and student drivers
  • Early Dismissal Pass Request: St. Francis is a closed campus during the school day. Only students with an early dismissal pass (or a phone call by a guardian to the attendance line) will be allowed to leave prior to the end of the school day.
  • Parking Permit Pass

Parking Permits

Any student parking on SFHS campus must have a school issued permit (including seniors with reserved painted parking spaces). Permits will be distributed the first few days of school. Please fill out this form as soon as possible if you have not done so already.

Senior Painted Parking Day
Begins PROMPTLY at 8am - Students not present when # is called forfeit their place in line.

Students with their assigned numbers will be called from the sidelines of the parking lot on Saturday morning. Students will be individually released to pick their spot in the parking lot. Last year this took approximately 10 minutes for the entire class to choose their space. Students who are not there when their numbers are called will be called after all other numbers. There will be no early entry into the parking lot by parents or students until all numbers are called. There is no pre-saving of spaces.

Safety Scam Targeting SFHS Accounts

We received a report that recently a SFHS student was targeted for money on her Instagram account.  It was a very well done scam, and clearly preyed upon our students’ trust. This scam was perfectly targeted — trusting, helpful students and the illusion of the person being known by trusted people. The student didn’t flinch at giving them access to her picture (“…because they were ‘friends’ with people I knew,” and “because I thought I was helping them out.”) While your student might say this wouldn’t happen to me, believe me it could and it does.

From the Dean

Our students all love social media and can’t wait to use their phones to connect to each other and the world at large. However, all that continual connection does not give them the opportunity to rest, relax and just be.

Uniform Standards

With the weather starting to change, remember only “docker style” pants and SFHS jackets may be worn on campus. Please purchase these and SF jackets now, before the cold really kicks in. The Uniform Standard Guide and page 64 of the Student-Parent Handbook list the specific rules and requirements. 

Students are not allowed to wear: 

  • Cargo pants, flared pants, pajamas or sports uniform bottoms.
  • Non SFHS designated red jackets 
  • Hair color must be natural.

Illness on Campus

Since the start of school the past few weeks, we have had and will continue to have waves of illness; COVID, strep, flu etc. Please talk to your daughters about keeping herself and others safe.  In short, keep up the practices that have helped keep our community as safe as possible over the past year:

Non-registered Service Animals at School

Due to health and safety concerns, and to avoid any disruption to school activities, all animals are prohibited from school property, school facilities, school transportation, and school functions except for registered service animals. The service animal must be a dog or, in limited specific circumstances, a miniature horse. No other species of animal will be permitted as a “service animal.”

Invitation from the Dean’s Office
Emergency Services Professionals Wanted for Parent Safety Committee

The safety of everyone while on the campus of St. Francis Catholic High School is of the utmost importance.  As with everything we do as a community, we constantly evaluate how we operate and if the best procedures are in place.  In order to accomplish this efficiently and expeditiously, each year we employ the help of our families, particularly those with emergency and medical backgrounds.
