Dear Parents, Students, and Visitors,
Welcome to our school website! We are thrilled to have you join our vibrant and diverse community of learners, parents, teachers, and staff at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School.
First and foremost, we want to express our gratitude for taking the time to explore our school's online platform. We understand that choosing the right educational institution for your child is a significant decision, and we appreciate your interest in learning more about what we have to offer.
Throughout our 60 year legacy, we’ve believed in nurturing both the heart and mind, striving to form saints and scholars who excel academically, morally, and socially. Our commitment to character education, academic excellence, and personal growth sets us apart and drives everything we do.
One of the things that make our school special is the sense of community and belonging that our students and families experience. Our school truly feels like an extension of home, where every individual is valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
We are also proud to share some recent achievements that highlight the excellence of our school community. Our students' outstanding performance on the NWEA assessment, a nationally normed adaptive academic growth assessment, reflects our commitment to academic rigor and student progress. Also, our boys' basketball team recently clinched the division championship for the second year in a row, showcasing not just their athletic prowess but also their teamwork and sportsmanship.
Safety is also a top priority for our school. We have made some significant security updates to our fully gated school grounds, including newly fitted entry doors to our Lower School, Upper School and cafeteria, increased security with key-card entry, added and upgraded internal and external security cameras, and updated classroom emergency call buttons.
As you navigate through our website, we hope you find valuable information about our curriculum, extracurricular activities, faculty, and more. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or to schedule a visit to experience our school firsthand.
Once again, thank you for considering our school for your child's educational journey. We look forward to welcoming you into our close-knit school family and partnering with you to ensure a fulfilling and enriching educational experience.
Warm regards,
Anne M Quatrini, M.Ed.
