- Drama Club | St. Francis Elem
Drama Club is an extracurricular activity available for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students Drama Club Drama Club is an extracurricular activity available for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. In Drama Club, we are very committed to making each student’s experience a positive one, not only by reinforcing the basics of performance learned in classes, but also by providing an additional venue for teamwork and school pride. The atmosphere is one where students have fun and look forward to expressing themselves in meetings and performances. The goal of this club is to explore the talents and interests of the students with regards to drama. Each year we do a production, alternating a musical with a Drama Club written play. During this production time, students must show a commitment to their part in the process and to their team in order for a successful production to happen. The Drama Club is for those students who are truly interested and committed to all areas of performing arts. It is extra-curricular, so the time requirements are after school. This year, the club meets on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30, though the time increases to twice a week in the spring. Drama Club provides additional opportunities for expression beyond performing arts classes. Because of this, the projects vary based on the students involved, their interests, as well as time and space constraints.

- Sports | St. Francis Elem
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).

In the footsteps of our patron saint, we strive to be a community that nurtures the whole About Us Our Mission In the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, we are an inclusive school community that attentively nurtures love, understanding, faith, knowledge, and individuality. "The Journey is Essential to The Dream" St. Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is doubt, faith; And where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, As to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. The Prayer of St Francis "‘When choosing a school, 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. We are active, we believe in the St. Francis mission of serving others, and highly feel SFE is the best community for our 3 children to meet their educational, social, and development needs." - Parent Testimonial Our Philosophy St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School is the educational ministry of the St. Francis of Assisi Parish that is dedicated to our Catholic tradition and the values of inclusivity, love, understanding, faith, knowledge, and individuality. In the footsteps of our patron saint, we strive to be a community the nurtures the whole child, builds relationships, and maintains our place in Sacramento. As a community, we partner with one another for the well-being of every student, spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically. We are called to inspire and develop internationally minded young people who recognize our common humanity, care for God’s creation, and embody peace for our world. Walking the path of St. Francis, we continue to spread his legacy to Love, Inspire and Thrive, Together. Our Vision To be a thriving Franciscan community of loving, humble and compassionate learners that celebrate, cultivate and embody joy, worth, and dignity in our world. The Crest The SFES crest closely resembles the heritage of the Order of Friars Minor. The shield is a visual representation of the history, symbolism and message of Franciscan ideals. The San Damiano Cross represented in the crest is cherished by Franciscans as the symbol of Francis’s mission from God. It was said the St. Francis was in prayer before the cross when God commissioned him to “rebuild his Church.” The original cross still hangs in the Basilica of St. Clare in Assisi, Italy. As a school community, we pray Francis’ Prayer Before the Crucifix of San Damiano every morning. In the Franciscan coat of arms, the traditional element of the right unclothed arm of Christ passes over the left arm of Francis that is sleeved in a friar’s habit. Both hands bear the stigmata, the wound marking the crucifixion of Jesus. The traditional embattled line at the top of the shield represents the history of St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School and is a tribute to the foundation and building dating back to the school’s establishment in 1895. The crest colors represent the spiritual heritage of SFES. The blue symbolizes peace, tranquility and harmony, values St. Francis cherished and highlighted in the opening line of the Prayer of St. Francis - “Lord, Make me an instrument of your peace…”. The gold represents the joy, the hope and the light the community of SFES embraces and sends out through its students. The sunburst in the background of the SFES crest pays homage to St. Francis’ Canticle of the Sun in which he praises God and gives thanks for all God’s creation. "We chose to send our children to St. Francis after meeting with the principal, Mr. Hrga. He impressed us with his commitment to the students, families, and community. His vision for the characteristics of students who graduate from St. Francis Elementary matched what we wanted for our girls and we saw it reflected in the 8th grade students we met. We have been at St. Francis Elementary for almost 4 years now and I know we made the right choice. Our children have been nurtured and supported by Mr. Hrga and the amazing teachers and staff at this school, both academically and as they grow as good citizens. We love this community!"-Parent Testimonial
- Extension | St. Francis Elem
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.

Under updated state guidance for schools, all schools must complete and post to their website homepages a COVID-19 Safety Plan (CSP), described below in COVID19 Safety Plan for In-person Instruction section (page 10) prior to reopening for in-person instruction. Schools that have already reopened are required to post their CSPs by February 1, 2021. The CSP is intended to consolidate requirements to develop written plans pursuant to CDPH guidance first issued in May 2020 and the Cal/OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards finalized in November 2020. You can find our CSP at: www.scd.org/2021schools On March 13, 2020 St. Francis of Assisi Elementary closed its physical doors to all students and implemented distance learning. Teachers pulled out all of the stops and with the support of our technology department learning shifted online . Chrome books were made available to all students that needed them. Students signed up with platforms such as, Google Classroom, Zoom, Freckle, Duolingo and Khan Academy to continue their studies. On top of academics teachers and staff continued to boost students' and their families morale and important sense of belonging to community through fun Fridays, quizzes, story time, challenges, social media, and zooms check-in's . During the 2020 summer, the principals, the staff and the CSAC board worked tirelessly to create a document with a strict list of protocols and facility updates to ensure the safety of our school community on the physical return to school. Until that is possible we have a vibrant distance learning plan that is consistent across grade levels, age and developmentally appropriate, reflects a regular school day and builds on the successes of the distance learning that we implemented in March. In all of this, great thought and care has been given to the emotional and spiritual health and well-being of our students, staff and families. The 2020-21 school year was challenging, but with community support and the love and care that we have for one another, we worked through it together.
