Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families,
Prayer Lord God, we kneel before you and worship you, for you do mighty deeds in heaven and on earth and allow us to become your children and your servants. You have done great things for many people, enabling them to serve you, and you will do still more. For you have promised that all our paths will be made straight. You have promised that all we do may be a service to you through Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, whom we follow. He will be revealed to the whole world, so that the nations will be called to serve you and your will may be done on earth as in heaven. Praised be your name, Lord our God! We open our hearts to you. In death and in life we are yours. Amen. Christian Unity Thank you to Pastor Derek Baker, Rev. Beverly Brazier and Fr. Szwagrzyk for their participation in last week’s Christian Unity liturgy. We are happy that they could celebrate with us. Parking A reminder to parents and students regarding parking, morning drop offs and afternoon pickups. The drop off loop is on the north side of the building; the first turn off when travelling on Duke Rd from Lewes Blvd. We are asking everyone to use this location to ensure safety (the staff parking lot is not designed for drop offs). We would also like to remind students to park their cars in the student parking lot. Thank you all for your cooperation in this matter. Social Media Over the past month, we have become aware of several inappropriate and offensive messages being posted on a Snapchat group of which many students are members. These messages are being sent over the weekend while students are on their own time, but the effects of the messages are being felt at St. Francis during the week. Students are bullying and teasing their classmates as well as using racial slurs. We have spoken to all classes about appropriate social media use and, as we become aware of inappropriate comments directed at other students, we have disciplined the students posting the messages and notified their parents/guardians. However, we are not able to monitor our students on their phones outside of school hours. Please take some time this week to discuss with your student how to use social media appropriately. Positive social media behaviour for everyone:
