Parents of all grade levels are invited to join our Counselors and College Advisors for parent nights designed especially for you! On Wednesday, August 14th at 6:00 in the CLC we will meet with Senior parents to discuss the upcoming college application process. Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior parents will meet on Wednesday, August 21 in the Dining Hall to discuss the upcoming school year (see schedule below). We hope you will join us!

M Street and surrounding neighborhood streets are off limits and are not for drop-off or pick-up (except directly next to St. Mary’s for those with siblings there). The M Street driving gates will be locked for driving into or off of campus; all drivers must enter and exit through cell phone lots (see the above noted traffic pattern).

We want to provide you with the following information and a quick recap synopsis that will help you and your daughter start the new school year in the best manner possible. It is important to understand that the following information is generally provided based on safety protocols and will be strictly enforced. As always feel free to contact Dean Cost if you have any questions.

Parent & Student Handbook: As a trusted high school student your daughter is responsible for reading, understanding and adhering to the rules.

The Serra Court Café is cashless and uses MySchoolBucks for all student meal accounts. If you are new to the school, you can set up a free MySchoolBucks account by following the instructions on our website. Parents/students can also drop a check off in the front office payable to St.

PowerSchool Student/Parent Portal  and Schoology credentials were sent to all incoming and transfer parents on July 29, 2024.  Any questions about credentials or access can be directed to Lori Ansell.

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

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.

It is imperative that your student be in proper (including skirt length uniform) for the 2024-2025 school year. Here is the daily uniform dress code that will be enforced. If the article of clothing is not listed below, it is not part of the daily uniform.
