Reflection
Lord, remind me that love is always near because Your are never far. When I feel unworthy of love, remind me that You have made me worthy. And, when I feel incapable of showing love, help me to remember what You've sacrificed for me. Remind me of how loved I am so I can remind others of how loved they are. In Jesus' name. Amen.

New School App Announcement
We are excited to announce that we will be using the power of our new Student Information System (SIS) in conjunction with our New Official SJDL App. We are currently configuring and customizing the App and we will let everyone know when it is ready to launch. Please rest assured that the new App will give us all of the functionality and communication as our first generation App provided, but will also allow for continued efficiency and growth moving into the future.
The current SJDL App that has been used will no longer be supported in the Apple or Android/Google Stores and has been decommissioned. Parents can now delete the App and as soon as the new App has been propagated into the respective stores, we will notify everyone regarding timelines to download and access.
For now, we simply wanted to let you know that we are continuing to do all we can to update and maintain our communication efforts while leveraging the power and ease of the SIS system to make the overall experience seamless and easy to use.
