Weekly Letters from the Principal

Section VII: Safety and Legal  

1. Diocesan Safe Environment Training (SET). Our handbook encourages the active involvement of parents and families in supporting our students and school community. Before an adult may volunteer with students, a completed Safe Environment Training (SET) certification is required.

Religious education is an essential part of the academic and spiritual formation of every student at San Francisco de Asís Catholic School. Our students receive regular instruction in the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, Sacred Scripture, prayer, and the sacramental life of our faith.

It is hard to believe that we are already five weeks into the 2026–2027 school year! Everyone has settled into their routines, and things are running smoothly once again. Thank you to our parents and students for your attention to our school dress code. Overall, our students are looking professional and modest, and we are proud of the way they represent SFdA each day. We are really shining!

Each week, we highlight a section of our school handbook to help families better understand the foundations that guide our work together. This week, we are focusing on accreditation and what it means for our school community.

San Francisco de Asis Catholic School is a fully accredited educational facility. Our accreditation is granted through the Western Catholic Educational Association, or WCEA, following a comprehensive self-study process. This reflective work allows us to carefully examine our mission, academic programs, faith formation, and overall school culture. It is both a moment of accountability and an opportunity for growth.
