It's Time to Celebrate Kindergarten at St. Francis!

On May 21st, we held our first-ever Kindergarten Signing—a joyful new tradition celebrating our preschool and PreK students who will officially be returning to St. Francis of the Lakes Catholic School for Kindergarten in the fall!

With plenty of excitement and photo-worthy smiles, each student got to “sign on” to St. Francis kindergarten—marking their commitment to continued learning, growth, and faith in our school community. As can be seen in the photos, when asked “are you excited to be going to kindergarten here next year?,” students didn’t hesitate to share a confident “yes!” with a beaming smile.

Special Update from the Admissions Office

This celebration also comes with an exciting announcement: due to growing interest and enrollment, we will now be offering a second Kindergarten class for the 2025–26 school year! Our Kindergarten program builds on the strong foundation laid in preschool, helping students grow spiritually, academically, and socially in our joyful, faith-filled environment, and we are now looking to share this experience with even more new families. So, if you or someone you know is looking for a supportive, mission-driven start to their child’s education, we invite you to reach out! You can learn more or submit an inquiry now on our admissions page, or reach out to our Admissions Director, Carla Coonan, at carla.connan@sf-school.org.

Too Long Didn’t Read:

In addition to celebrating (and still enrolling for) our Preschool & PreK programs, we have also increased our Kindergarten enrollment opportunities for the 2025-26 school year!
