Cafeteria Balance
Students will be notified by May 3rd

Seniors are notified if they have a balance in their “mySchoolBucks” cafeteria account greater than $10. If there is a younger sibling that will be attending St. Francis in the fall, the balance will automatically transfer to the younger sibling. If there is no younger sibling, students will be given the option to donate the funds to the St. Francis Fund to provide tuition assistance for incoming students or receive a refund check sent to their home.

Senior Final Exams

Attendance/Discipline will be automatically reviewed per each senior when we return from Easter break.  Seniors will be notified on April 26, if she needs to take finals for attendance or discipline issues (not before).  Teachers will notify individual students if she needs to take a final in the class due to grades (those dates may vary). Seniors may be required to take a final, regardless of grade, in elective and P.E. courses.

Troubie for Life Survey

This survey, which will be sent out in April and due May 1,  will only take a few minutes for seniors to complete and needs to be submitted before graduation. There is an opportunity to give a shout out to a faculty or staff member that made a difference and provide contact information (email and cell phone) for future school communications.
