Update from the President –
Dear St. Francis Families,
Air quality is a major point of concern for many of us right now. The Diocesan policy is that our schools will have no outdoor play or sports if Air Quality Index (AQI) levels are over 150 and will close school if the AQI exceeds 200.
According to the Sacramento Region Air Quality App, the Air Quality Management District predicts air quality to be in the 140-175 range for most cities and towns of our Diocese for today and tomorrow. We will continue to monitor the AQI, keep students indoors, and cancel all outdoor activities.
We will continue to monitor air quality conditions and send information as it becomes available. We ask that you monitor your email regularly for updates from the school.
It is up to parents to determine if the air quality is such that students cannot come to school. Please be sure to call the attendance office at 1(916)737-5050 to let us know if your daughter will be staying home.
We keep in our prayers all those that who are affected by these tragic fires.
Sincerely
Theresa Rodgers
St. Francis Catholic High School President

Parking & Drop-off Protocol
Parent & Student Drivers, Please Read:
We ask that you familiarize yourselves with the regular school year drop off and pick up procedures. It is very important for everyone to read, study the maps and follow the procedures. Morning will be similar to summer, however, all students must be dropped off after the brick wall closer to the gym. The afternoon is a completely different traffic pattern, please review below. Thank you for all of your assistance, Dean Cost

2018-2019 Parking Painting FAQ
Senior Painting Parking Spaces - St. Francis Fund Fundraiser
Cost:
- For reserved painting & parking permit = $200
- For a regular parking pass, no reserved space, no painting = $60
The process:
- Parking permits with the Senior Painting option must be purchased online on a first come first serve basis, starting: May 22, 2018 at 3:00pm, any sign ups for painted spaces prior to that date and time will not be accepted.
- The actual space design template submitted no later than July 20, 2018. All designs must be submitted on the template. Senior Parking Template PDF.
- The designated painting day is Saturday, August 11, 2018, from 8:00am to 4:00pm, with a make up date on August 13, 2018. There will be no other make up dates.
- Students may personalize their parking spot by creating a design that reflects their interests and/or shows school spirit. Be creative. Designs must be approved by the Administration prior to painting and cannot violate the tenants of the St. Francis Catholic High School Student Handbook.
- Students will be notified via email if there is an issue with the submitted design. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm the notification (only if there is a design issue); failure to confirm may nullify the design. Students must follow this design exactly – no changes.
- Students will be asked to select their parking zone on a first come, first served basis (registration is time stamped), and each zone will close when full. Upon arrival at 8:00 am on August 11th, students will choose their specific spots within the preferred zone. An administrator will be present if there is a concern over a specific space (it all worked great this year, so problems are not expected). Refer to attached schematic for designated zones.
Medication and Medication Forms
Forms must be updated yearly and be on file by first day of school . All medications (exception epi pens/inhalers/glugagon shot) are required to be kept in the office. Please download the form and return it to the Front Office. Click here to download form.
Safety Response
See Something - Say Something
When incidents such as the Florida shooting, which occurred Wednesday, happen, students and their families want to know what to do. At SFHS, we help students to not be fearful, but to be prepared. While the odds of an active shooter scenario are small, we do educate our students about active shooter lockdowns and shelter in place scenario. We follow the FBI Run/Hide/Fight protocols, which was demonstrated at the last student Safety Assembly.
