Find out if your child is ready for Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten on our readiness page. TK & Kindergarten Readiness Transitional Kindergarten Readiness Welcome to the Transitional Kindergarten class at St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School! Transitional Kindergarten, TK, is the beginning of your child’s elementary journey! It is our mission to nurture the whole child, spiritually, academically, emotionally, and socially as they grow. TK is a wonderful opportunity for students to acquire academic confidence before entering Kindergarten. This bonus academic year is also a gift of time for students who need more time maturing socially and emotionally. TK is a bridge from Pre-K to Kindergarten, and we recommend that students have preschool experience prior to entering TK. It is our mission to help your child build a foundation that will foster a love for learning to carry them through each grade year and beyond. TK Age Per the Sacramento Diocese, students must be 4 years old by the start of the school year and turn 5 within the year. Students who turn 5 years old in June, July, or August, are also eligible for Transitional Kindergarten. TK Curriculum Our curriculum is a blend of preschool based social & emotional development with modified age appropriate Common Core Kindergarten State Standards that are taught through 4 IB units of inquiry. What academic skills should my child have before Transitional kindergarten? In order to show TK readiness, your child should be able to: recognize and name basic shapes: square, circle, triangle, and rectangle recognize and name numbers 0-5, even when they are out of order count to 10 count 10 objects, pointing to each one as they count say or sing the alphabet recognize many of the capital letters of the alphabet identify colors in an 8-ct crayon pack recognize & know the letters in order of their first name write their first name (it doesn’t have to look perfect!) sort items by size, color, or shape hold a book and turn pages identify some letter sound What other things (non-academic) does my child need to know how to do before kindergarten? Your child should be able to: put on their coat and zip it up Put on their shoes independently take turns and share sit quietly and listen follow simple directions use the bathroom by themselves (including zipping and buttoning pants, and privacy rules!) put on their backpack hold a pencil or crayon with tripod grip cut with scissors put things away wash their hands with soap use a tissue to wipe their nose cough into their elbow stand in line drink from a drinking fountain raise their hand and wait to be called on open any food containers in their lunch or be able to ask for help Some extra things parents can do to get their child ready for TK: Teach kindness & respect (for rules, property, and people). Do activities at home where prekinders have to listen without interrupting, take turns, focus on the same activity for 15 minutes, use manners, etc. Read, read, read and read some more! Give them opportunities to play with other children. Give them some responsibilities and teach them to follow through. Teach nursery rhymes and songs. Give them chances to be away from home and family so they feel comfortable and confident when they come to school. Give them opportunities to be independent! "We could not be happier with our choice to send our daughters to St. Francis Elementary. The community is warm and welcoming, and the teachers and staff are committed to fostering academic excellence and spiritual growth for every student. For our family, a robust performing arts program was essential, and we love how the arts are woven into the academic and co-curricular school day with Ms. Stites' music classes and in-class theatre performances. Principal Hrga knows each child by name, as do all the faculty and staff members, and they work together as a team to provide a holistic education that recognizes the individualism of each child. My children feel safe and loved at school, even in the midst of the pandemic, which for us as parents is invaluable. We are so thankful to have found this wonderful school community!" - Parent Testimonial Kindergarten Readiness Kindergarten Curriculum: Scholastic Reading Program, Envision Math, Common Core Standards taught through 4 IB units of inquiry.

St. Francis are pleased to offer an extended care from 7am to 6pm (outside of class time) for all students TK through to 8th grade. Extension Patti Sanchez, Director of Extension Eric Church, Associate Director of Extension and Food Service Manager (916) 443-0388 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM School Days The Extension Program serves families who desire a parochial school education with supplementary daycare in a Catholic Christian environment. It provides professional care, supervision, recreation and enrichment opportunities. Children grades TK through 8 experience a rich diversity of growth activities designed to complement the schools philosophy and mission. Arts and crafts projects, science experiments, free play, games and organized recreation are just a few of the enriching programs offered. Children also enjoy the integration of music and dance. Throughout the school year special activities are offered that center around monthly themes, as well as special events such as el Dia de Los Muertos celebration and the end of the year Water Fight. Time is allotted for supervised homework with resource materials available. All children are provided a snack. There is a designated nap time for Transitional Kinders. The Extension Program is staffed by an experienced Director and dedicated Extension Aides devoted to providing attention, security, consistency, and fair treatment to all children. They maintain a supervised atmosphere where respect and understanding for others is acknowledged and ensured. St. Francis Elementary Extension Program is solely funded by extension fees. It is not subsidized by the parish or covered by school financial assistance. To enroll in Extension after the start of the school year, contact the Finance Office. Late enrollment fees are pro-rated. Drop-in and hourly rate care are not available. Extension Handbook Emergencies/Safety With the children's safety and well-being in mind, it is most important that the parent fill out an emergency card, and then adhere to the instructions given. Please keep your child's emergency card information current. Some of the most important regulations concerns the child's leaving the premises of the Extension Program Parents or guardians should not take children from the school yard or other areas without notifying the Extension Program staff and signing the child out. Parent or guardians should not send persons who are not listed in FACTs as an Emergency pick up to ask for the release of children. For the child's safety, the release will not be granted. In special circumstances, a parent or guardian may arrange for such a pickup by sending written authorization to the Director. Anyone checking the child out must show a current picture ID, whether the person is listed in FACT's as an emergency pick up or whether it is by special arrangements with the Director. Another area of concern, related to the child's welfare, is the matter of telephone. The telephone is used for emergency use only. Pick-ups When a child has not been picked up and no parent contact has been received, the following steps will be taken: The staff will try to contact the parent. Persons listed as an Emergency contact in FACT's furnished by the parent will be contacted in order to locate someone who can pick up the child immediately. The Sacramento Police Department will be contacted if all efforts to arrange for a pick-up are unsuccessful. When the Police assume responsibility for a child, the child is taken to: The Children's Receiving Home 3555 Auburn Boulevard Telephone: 482-2370 Illness or Accident Medication will not be administered unless a Medication Form authorizing the staff to assist the child in taking such medication is on file. In cases, which appear to be of minor nature, First Aid will be administered on the premises. In cases which appear serious, the Program Director will make an effort to carry out the instructions as given in FACT's. Parents who do not wish their child treated in any way should indicate such on FACT's, and should give directions to be followed. Parents will be expected to make provisions for taking sick children home. The Extension Program does not have facilities for transportation of children. If the parent or guardian does not supply adequate emergency instructions, or if the instructions given can not be followed at the time of the emergency, the Program staff will act accordingly to their best judgement for the welfare of the child. Hygiene Since this is a school age situation, it is assumed that all students are toilet trained and can take care of themselves. However, we all know that occasionally "accidents happen" when dealing with children. We do have a few sets of "emergency underwear", etc. at the center. If a child wets his clothes, he will be given a dry set to change into, and the wet items will be sent home. If a child has a bowel movement in his clothes, the parent or guardian will be called to change him. The teachers will not be expected to clean the child. Please return all "emergency clothes" after laundering. Homework Each day a homework period is scheduled in the lunch room, with one or more teachers/teacher aides available for tutorial help. It is the child's responsibility to acknowledge his/her assignment and then to use the resources available. The Extension Staff has no way of knowing what work, if any, has been assigned to which students. Absences If you know in advance that a child will be absent from the center for any amount of time, please notify the Director in writing. If a parent takes a child from the school for any reason, the Extension program should be notified that day. Toys From Home It is requested that children not bring toys from home. Often these items are very personal and important, so the child feels they must be defended and protected. This is not consistent with the "sharing" atmosphere encouraged in our large family atmosphere. If a personal toy becomes a problem source, it will be confiscated until the child leaves for home. If this problem persists, the toy will be confiscated until the end of the month. Termination Extension Program services to the family and/or an individual child may be terminated by the Director, after consultation with the school principal. Such cancellation of services will be given with one week's written notice, and for the following causes: Abuse of the Extension Center hours (chronic late pick-ups), Non-payment of the Extension Program fees, Failure of the parent/guardian or child to respect the safety and rights of other individuals in the Extension Program. Expectations for Children's Behavior As members of a Christian and caring community, the children will be expected to respect the staff, each other, and the materials and environment provided. They must never leave the building or grounds without explicit permission of the staff of the Extension Program. Such permission will only be granted by order of the parent or guardian. Policy: What is an Extension Program? An Extension Program is before and after school care for regularly enrolled children who are in Transitional Kindergarten through eighth grade. It is staffed by school personnel, serves only the children enrolled at the school and can only be offered on days school is in session. (This does include minimum days.) The Extension Program is not open on the last day before Christmas Vacation and the last day of school.

We have an extensive athletics program at St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School. Sports "The only thing ever achieved in life without effort is failure" St. Francis of Assisi Athletics at St. Francis Mission of SFE Sports Through participation in sports at St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School, students will grow physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. SFE sports provides the opportunity for the student-athlete to exhibit a progression of physical skills and knowledge of a sport in order to enable him/her to apply these skills and knowledge to new situations. Through participation in SFE sports, the student-athlete learns that God is active in all things and that love invites a personal response, beyond self-interest or self-centeredness, toward valuing others and the community of a team. Athletics Teams For questions about athletics at St. Francis, please contact mainoffice@stfranciselem.org or 916-442-5494. We are parents of a 1st grader and started at St. Francis when she was in kindergarten. Coming from a different preschool, joining a class that had already been together for a year, and starting in the middle of the pandemic, we were a bit apprehensive about our daughter meeting people and feeling welcomed by a new school community. But the St. Francis community was amazing. From the first day, she was greeted by name at drop off by the principal, teachers, and staff. She was included in activities, staff helped her meet people and make friends, and she was accepted as part of the group by her class. The apprehension about starting at a new school turned into excitement about going to school each day, and our family could not be happier with our experience at St. Francis. We really appreciate the emphasis on the Schoolwide Learning Expectations and the focus on educating the whole person. The academics have been outstanding, and our daughter has been challenged to do her best academically each day. But in addition to strong academics, we appreciate how St. Francis has built a community that allows students to be unique, ask questions, and acknowledge the diversity of the world around them. Students are taught to think for themselves; not that there is one correct way to think. Difficult conversations are had directly with students, not avoided. St. Francis emphasizes a curriculum of kindness, understanding, open-mindedness, and acceptance of all people, and there is a focus on how our differences make our community better and more interesting. These are not empty words on the school’s website or mission statement; there is a top-down commitment, starting with the principal and staff, and reinforced with the students, to recognize and discuss the diversity and uniqueness of each person’s experience, background, and ideas. We could not be happier at St. Francis, and are looking forward to many years ahead at the school, Mike & Flo, March 2022 (Parents of a 1st Grader).

SFE is dedicated to fostering our Franciscan tradition by encouraging an inclusive, positive vision in our boys and girls through exercise, athletic competition, and fully recognizing the dignity of each student. With this in mind, the following goals of SFE Sportsmanship are: a. To build a community which strives to model the charism of St. Francis; b. To develop faithful spirit, school spirit, team spirit and personal acceptance; c. To instill Christ-like sportsmanship in the life-styles of the participants; d. To teach the participants the proper attitude towards winning, losing and competing with dignity; e. To develop and appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of others; f. To train, instruct and follow athletic/sport rules; g. To develop the students’ physical abilities and coordination; h. To help form well-rounded students by fostering good health habits; i. To provide a Franciscan, Catholic environment and outlet for youthful energy; j. To teach the positive value of athletic participation k. To show the necessity of practice, hard work and time management. These goals are founded upon the principle of the infinite worth of each person because he/she is created in the image and likeness of God. PAROCHIAL ATHLETIC LEAGUE (P.A.L) St. Francis participates in the Parochial Athletic League (P.A.L).

Since our son transferred in 4th grade it has truly been the best decision we have made for him.

We have also enjoyed the strong sense of community and the school’s commitment to creating a safe and healthy environment for each child. When we leave next year after 8th grade we will truly miss the family that St. Francis has been for us these past several years.

Tours Please click the inquiry button if interested in scheduling a tour. 'St. Francis has been amazing for our family! Our son who is now in 3rd grade matriculated at kindergarten. It was an easy transition and has loved the school ever since. The teachers and administrators are amazing! The kids are very close and supportive of each other from TK to 8th grade. It is a very positive environment. Even though most commute to the school from different areas we still feel very connected. It is a community of learning, care, service and support. We started our daughter in TK this year. I was nervous with her being only 4 years old. She adjusted after just one day and loves her classmates. The school is academically challenging but does not overload the kids with unnecessary work. The many events and activities provide great socializing opportunities with other families. The afterschool care is essential for us. The kids have so much fun. Neither one of my children ever wants to leave early!' Parent Testimonial of a TK'er and a 3rd Grader). INQUIRIES ‘When choosing a school, we recommend scheduling a tour to meet the principal and teachers to understand the school environment and determine if the school is a good fit for your child. St. Francis Elementary School is more than a school...it's a community of supportive educators and families who give to the well being of each other. We are all in this together and supporting one another through our community is what we are all about. The relationships that are formed by both school mates, teachers and parents make the community one that I am proud to be apart of. Communication is excellent by teachers and supporting staff, who are passionate about the success of your children. The level of education is superior with well qualified teachers. This is our community and family.

However, it is the school community that differentiates SFE from other elementary schools. Teachers provide instruction with an open heart and mind; they are attuned to the unique needs of each child and proactively engage parents throughout the academic year. The curriculum is exceptional and challenges students to be creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and helps to develop service-leadership skills. Children feel safe, loved and believe that they are seen as unique individuals within the community. Parents are treated as equal partners in their child's education and are provided with countless opportunities to engage with the school community throughout the year." Parent Testimonial
