Parents,
It goes without saying that the health of our community is first and foremost. As we continue this semester, we have seen that, through focus and love, we can overcome the impossible.
Our students have showcased perseverance and, above all, faith during these unique circumstances. How fitting that is with Catholic Schools Week just around the corner. It is ever so important for us to understand the gift that Catholic schools provide.
Our hope is that you are safe and above all healthy. We are here to always be of service and look forward to the remaining months with our students.
Blessings,
Mason Finch
Director of Communications

Parents,
As a reminder, we have begun the 3rd quarter and with that begins the new attendance model you selected during our fall survey.
This means those students who selected 4-day attendance are expected to be on campus during the 4 days of instruction (Monday through Friday), those students who selected to remain on the 2-day attendance model (following their fall hybrid grouping) are expected to continue to be present on campus during their red or white days.
Because we intend to begin to re-establish stability in attendance patterns, it is important to note that students no longer have the ability to "flex in" and flex out" as they choose. If you have any questions, please reach out to us immediately.
|
|
Report cards are now available for download from the student grade portal. In order to be environmentally conscious, we do not print or mail report cards.
We strongly encourage you to sign in and view your child(ren)'s report card(s) and if you wish to keep a copy for your personal records, then take this opportunity to download the file(s) to do so.

Dear parents,
Thrively is a new program that was introduced to our students in December. This program is here to help your child find the right career path and help them develop the skills and experiences based on how God made them. With our seniors deciding their college majors and future careers and our freshmen, sophomores, and juniors deciding their course selection in just a few weeks, this program can help!
Assessment Guides:

|
Students have already been setup in the program and are not required to signup nor do they need an invite code.
Instructions:
In order to find the unfinished assessments:
- Click "My Digital Portfolio"
- Scroll down and they may find the prompt to complete them
Many students (approx. 182) have already begun to complete a variety of lessons and journals that they have found helpful for them. If your child has completed all the assessments, please encourage them (and join them) to explore all the different features this program has to offer. Thank you so much for your partnership.

Faculty Highlight: Mr. Jordan Haynes |
|
|
|
We are honored that our Band Director, Jordan Haynes, started his journey with Antonian this school year.
A graduate of the University of North Texas, Jordan has committed himself to the music education.
His ability to foster growth and passion in our students is seen through our band program.
This program, under his leadership, has much promise as we continue to encourage our students to join regardless of their musical abilities.
We look forward to the delayed concert we will be hosting on January 29th and are confident it will be "music to our ears."
