This Monday we welcomed back the 2020 SFCS Faculty!!! We have an AMAZING team this year committed to welcoming the students back in a safe, healthy and friendly environment committed to the spiritual and intellectual formation of our students. Below is a list of our 2020 faculty.

Mrs. Tara Anderson will be joining the SFCS Faculty as our Kindergarten teacher! Mrs. Anderson previously worked at SFCS from 2008 - 2011 as our PreKindergarten. Since then Mrs. Anderson has taught 2nd and 3rd grade at Hilton Head Island Elementary School - International Baccalaureate School and Kindergarten in Virginia. WELCOME BACK Mrs. Anderson!!!

We have installed the refillable filtered water bottle station behind the water fountain next to the cafeteria as promised. We are working on gradually converting more of the water fountains when funding is available.

There was one update sent from the Diocese regarding face masks/coverings that has been included in the Reopening Plan that is embedded below.

Please drop off your child(ren)'s school supplies in the school lobby next week from 9:00am to 3:00pm, Monday through Thursday. Please have items in a box or bags labeled with you child(ren)'s name and grade level. If you need a copy of your child(ren)'s Supply List the please click the following link to the Weekly Howl that from July 24th. https://www.smore.com/b4azv

Also please pick up a folder with the beginning of year documents that need to be signed. I will send these digitally in the next Howl.

Please see the video below that provides some great advice how help your prepared for masks.

If you are interested in being a supervisor of students during the school day please email the Principal, Mr. Pope at bpope@sfcshhi.com. We are looking for responsible and professional individuals that can work with a consistent schedule. Interested applicants must be willing to pass a background screening through the Diocese of Charleston.

We will be applying this product to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our school community. For more information about PermaSafe please click to access the document below.

Uniforms will be placed outside Monday on the front porch for exchange from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Please have any donated items washed prior to being dropped off and please make sure to wash any items that are picked up.

Space for Extended Care is limited this year. It will be a first come first serve basis with turning in the Registration and Projection Forms. No drop ins are allowed this year for Extended Care. If you need to make a change to your projection form or reservation we will need those 2 school days in advance. Billing will remain the same and is explained on the Registration Form.

Please click the documents below for our Drop Off and Dismissal Procedures. I also have a video explaining the changes to these procedures that hopefully will help explain the changes.
