SFJH Parents/Guardians,
This Wednesday October 30th will be our Halloween dance for 7th and 8th grade students. It will be after school from 4-6 PM. This will allow students participating in the band and choir concert to go directly to their concert after the dance. Because the dance is on Wednesday students will not be required to wear costumes, but they are welcome to change into their costumes after school and wear them to the dance. We will allow students to wear costumes to school on Thursday, October 31st. Thank you!

This temporary eligibility will expire end of day October 22, 2024.
If you have NOT already submitted an application for the 2024-2025 school year, please submit one immediately.

If a new application is not received at least 5 school days prior to the termination date, the child's account may be charged full price for the meals after the termination date until the new application is processed.
