Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful day!

Please note we have changed our morning routine. As of 8:25 AM, I will be picking up students from the gym and bringing them back to our room until 8:40, at which point we will begin to make our way down to the auditorium for announcements. Any students arriving before then must go directly to the gym to be signed in to Before Care until I pick them up at 8:25. Students being dropped off between 8:25 and 8:40 can remain in the classroom until we head to announcements. Thank you for your cooperation.

A note on Freshbooks: St. Jude's Academy is excited to announce the launch of Freshbooks, the new online/paperless invoicing method for incidental fees ONLY (i.e. Field Trips, After School Program, After Care, Lunch, Camps etc...).

Freshbooks is a safe and secure form of online payment that allows you to pay for your child(ren)'s school incidental fees, using Visa, MasterCard or Amex with no additional fees.

You will have the ability to:
  • Keep track or check account history

  • Pay for invoices with a click of a button 

How to create your account:
  • Once you click "View Your Invoice,” detail of the invoice shown. 
  • On the top left corner, just above the invoice number, click the link "Log in to view all invoices"

A Note From Ms. Bancud regarding lunches: Ordering Website is now Active for the month of October. You may start ordering your child's lunches! Please make your child is under the correct grade, as there were many mistakes made for last month's ordering. http://mydigitalmailroom.com/sja The last day to order for October will be Wednesday, September 26th. After this date, our system closes and is unable to open for October ordering. All payments are due on Friday, October 6th. 

Cheque payments will not be accepted. If you choose the cheque option on the ordering site, it will be assumed that the payment is made through FreshBooks and you will be invoiced. 

Another item has been added to our Hot Lunch Program as a Special. This month's special is Shepherd's Pie that will be available every Friday!
