SF is moving to Schoology!

We have moved our learning management system from PowerSchool Learning (PSL) to Schoology (owned by PowerSchool).  Schoology is used in over 60,000 schools with 20 million users.  This learning management system is more robust than PSL, and still gives parents the ability to see their child’s classes and grades.  Information about parent Schoology access was sent to you this week.

Also, please have your daughter/s keep her Chromebook charged, and make sure it is in working order and ready for her classes.

Apology to the St. Francis Community

This past week, an SF social media post sparked an outpouring of anger, pain and sadness about the way students of color have experienced and continue to experience our campus community. In reading these comments, the many emails, and hearing the stories shared on our first Zoom call, I know that so many of you are suffering — and not just recently — but for a very long time. And to hear that your experiences at SF have contributed to that pain is deeply painful and shameful.

Virtual Dance Showcase

Haven’t had a chance to watch the Virtual Dance Showcase yet? 

For those of you that don’t know about our annual Spring Dance Showcase, it’s a culmination of student choreographed works (usually performed live). Juniors & Seniors work with underclassmen in their respective companies to create original work and this year was no different! The amount of creativity and collaboration that the students had this year was exciting! The video now includes ALL student works. (I had many technical issues!) 

Please enjoy!

La Befana Visits SFHS

The Befana (Helen Manfredi Pierson ‘74) flew into St. Francis to visit the Italian 1 students and share her story, beginning thousands of years ago and remaining to this day a tradition practiced by Italian children and their families throughout the peninsula. This is her story: 
One day, the three Magi left their country bearing special gifts of gold, incense, and myrrh for the new-born Jesus Christ. They were guided by a star across many countries. At every village that they passed, many people ran to meet them and accompany them in their journey.
