St. Francis Elementary Gets Good Grade
On January 27, 28, and 29, 2010, a WASC Accreditation Team evaluated every aspect of our beloved school. The team of five educators witnessed our Catholic identity, observed student learning, and spoke with Fr. Anthony, Sr. Peggy, students, parents, and school staff. The following is from the WASC Visiting Team's Final Report, summarizing their findings:

• Extraordinarily supportive and actively involved pastor who promotes the school as an integral mission of the parish and engages the students on a regular basis in their spiritual development.
  
  
• An inspiring and visionary principal who reflects and models the philosophy and mission and the Catholic identity of the school for all members of the community.
  
  
• An extremely effective principal whose leadership and deportment empower the staff to strive for excellence in all areas.
  
  
• An exceptionally dedicated and faith-filled faculty and staff who foster the formation of the whole child and the strong sense of family throughout the school.
  
  
• A stellar support staff that daily makes a difference in the lives of students, faculty, administration and parent/guardian community.
  
  
• A faith-filled community that lives out the mission of St. Francis of Assisi.
  
  
• A committed, proud, and supportive parent/guardian community who are willing to sacrifice in support of quality Catholic education for their children.
  
  
• Confident, secure students who appreciated the value of a St. Francis education, are committed to the service of others, courteous, are conscientious stewards of the earth, who genuinely reflect the School wide Learning Expectations: Spiritual, Academic, Respectful, Confident, and Responsible.
  
  
• A full-time, professional and efficient Finance Manager.
  
  
• Funds are allocated to secure qualified and dedicated staff.
  
  
• A vibrant social justice and community service component that reflects the Franciscan charism.

About Our School

St. Francis Elementary, an educational ministry of our parish, strives to create an environment that serves the religious, intellectual, psychological, social, and physical needs of students in kindergarten through 8th grade.

St. Francis Elementary offers an accredited academic program that includes:

St. Francis Elementary opened on November 5, 1895, as a two room school staffed by the Sisters of Mercy from St. Joseph's Academy.   The school, under their direction, expanded to a three story building with twelve rooms.  In September 1901, the Sisters of St. Francis began teaching grades one through nine, and the school was expanded to grade twelve by 1947.  Several years later, the high school was relocated, and the present site became an elementary school only.

Funding sources for the operation of the school include tuition and fees, fund raising, a small parish subsidy for students needing financial aid, and private donations.

St. Francis Elementary School has a family atmosphere where everyone gets to know your child and a staff that really cares about your child's success.
