Prayer for Patience and Wisdom

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your Word, which guides us in truth and wisdom. Help me to live out the teaching of James 1:19-20: to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Fill my heart with patience and my mind with understanding so that I may reflect Your love in my words and actions.

Guard me from anger that does not bring about Your righteousness, and instead, teach me to respond with grace and peace in all situations. Let my ears be open to truly hear others, and my words be spoken in kindness and truth.

By Your Spirit, transform me to live in harmony with others and to be a vessel of Your peace. May my life glorify You as I strive to follow this wisdom each day.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Social Media Addiction - Recognized Legally

Senate Bill 976, known as the Social Media Youth Addiction Law, was enacted in California in 2024 to address concerns about social media's impact on minors. The law prohibits operators of addictive social media platforms from providing addictive feeds to users unless they have reasonably determined that the user is not a minor or have obtained verifiable parental consent for minor users.

An "addictive feed" is defined as a feature where multiple pieces of user-generated or shared media are recommended, selected, or prioritized for display based on user-related information, with certain exceptions. Additionally, the law restricts operators from sending notifications to minor users during late-night hours (12:00 AM to 6:00 AM) and school hours (8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday from September through May) unless parental consent is obtained.

Operators are required to provide mechanisms for parents to control their child's access, including setting time restrictions, limiting daily usage, and managing privacy settings. Furthermore, operators must annually disclose the number of minor users on their platforms, specifying how many have parental consent for addictive feeds and detailing the status of parental control settings. This legislation aims to mitigate the risks associated with social media addiction among minors by involving parental oversight and implementing usage restrictions.

We value our families and aim to make the 2025-2026 re-enrollment process accessible and efficient. Early registration benefits everyone. It allows the school to plan resources and organize classrooms more effectively. It also helps ensure a smooth, prepared, and welcoming environment for all families. By committing early, families support the school’s ability to deliver the excellent education and personalized experience that make Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School exceptional.

To encourage early re-registration and planning for the upcoming school year, we have implemented a special incentive for returning families who complete enrollment before key dates. This plan offers a significant reduction in upfront registration costs (Initial Enrollment Fees) while allowing the Educational Support Fees to be deferred to the start of the school year or distributed over a 10-month payment period from August to May. We have also extended the window to take advantage of this re-registration initiative so that the deadline occurs past the current school year’s last tuition payment in May. 

Enrollment Fee - Non-Refundable

• Initial Enrollment Fee: $300 (if paid in full by June 13, 2025).
• After June 13, 2025, the Standard Enrollment fee will be $700.

FACTS fees will be added to the overall enrollment fee at time of online enrollment.

Educational Support Fees - Non-Refundable

These fees can be distributed over a 10 month period (August - May) or paid up front, in any combination, at the start of the school year. 

• Curriculum Fee - $575/student
• Technology Fee
  • Preschool and Prekindergarten - $115/student
  • Kindergarten - Eighth Grade - $225/student
• Graduation Fee (Applicable to Eighth-grade Students Only) - $325/student
• Annual Development Fee - $300 per family

Please note that all Enrollment and Educational Support Fees are non-refundable and will be due in full in the event of any early withdrawal(s).

Home and School Support Pledge 

The Home and School Association provides vital financial support to the school in many ways. It is the responsibility of every family to participate fully in the fundraising projects and events that the Home and School sponsors throughout the year. In this way, the Teachers’ Benefit Fund, Academic Competitions, various school improvements, etc., may be provided.

Our main, obligatory, fundraisers are the May Festival (minimum of 1 book of tickets per child enrolled and 1 hour per child volunteer time commitment) and the Gift Gathering for the Fall Auction/Dinner. This pledge is collected at the time of the event and not included in the registration fees.

Key Dates

1. Open Registration: January 6
2. Early Re-Enrollment Deadline: June 13, 2025
