St. David School News & Notes
Dear St. David School Families,

My apologies for being late in releasing News and Notes this week. We have an exciting weekend coming up with Fall Festival tomorrow! I am looking forward to seeing everyone starting with the parade at 12 noon and class line up at 11:45 AM.

On a serious note, I would like to share news of a possible danger regarding social media, specifically, Snapchat. Some schools in the Diocese of Oakland have reported that their students are "receiving disturbing, inappropriate and threatening texts via Snapchat from someone claiming to go to one of our Diocese Schools."  Furthermore, the app "forced them to accept the 'friend request' in order to get into the app." If your child uses Snapchat, we recommend for you to check for these texts, save screenshots, then block the user (texts delete when you block a user.)

Thank you for your support. I look forward to a wonderful Fall Festival tomorrow. Go Bears!
   
Your Servant in Christ,
Jojo de Guzman
