“With malice toward none, charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds.”
~ Abraham Lincoln (Inauguration Speech)

Parents,
We want to thank you for your continued partnership. We have much to look forward to and we want to ensure that our students continue to meet the academic standards set forth.
With that, attendance is crucial. We ask that you help us ensure that your student(s) continue to follow the proper attendance model you have chosen for the third quarter.
We look forward to celebrating our students with a winter pep rally (to be held outdoors) next week and continue to find new and innovative ways to engage and gather as a community while keeping safe.
With that, we pray that you are healthy and well.
Blessings,
Mason Finch
Director of Communications

From The Desk Of Antonian
|
|
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 Thursday), 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.
|
|
As a friendly reminder, Antonian is a closed campus which means that students are not permitted to leave without permission nor are student guests permitted on campus during the school day.
This policy is instituted to protect the physical safety of our students. Due to the need to limit visitors to the campus, we have suspended the practice of parents bringing and leaving food in the front office for their children during the school day.
We kindly, ask that students either plan to bring lunch with them when they arrive on campus in the morning or purchase lunch offered by our food service provider, Luby’s.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding in this matter.

2020-2021 Tuition Past Due Balances
-
Past Due Balances and Missed Payments: Tuition is due on the 5th of every month, unless other arrangements have been made. Past due balances and missed payments have an impact on the cash resources used to meet our financial obligations. It is Antonian's policy that a past due balance cannot be carried more than 60 days and missed or unsuccessful payments are subject to late or return fees that can not be waived, so please plan accordingly. Again, if you have experienced or are experiencing a financial hardship, please work directly with our Business Office staff as soon as possible.

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.

We invite you to submit your prayer request by using the button below.
Request: Prayers for Cheer Coach, Brandi Morkovsky and her family. Her daughter, Amy, who will turn 3 in March is fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
If you feel inclined to help, they ask that you consider donating to the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center.
They are low on O negative and little Amy continues to need blood transfusions. Her family would appreciate any blood donations! Continued prayers for Amy and her family.

This week, we honor Antonian sophomore, Laura Farmer. Her submission was sent to us and we thank her for being representative of what this standard means.
"Regardless of setbacks and challenges, Laura has persevered to complete all of her schoolwork and service hours.
I have never had to remind her to start or finish any of her work and often come home to find her working on a Latin project in the garage or typing up a homework assignment.
The pandemic and resulting quarantines have created several challenges, but Laura has persevered and kept her grades up and homework turned in on time. I am so proud of her! She is a real go-getter!"
Thank you, Laura for your dedication and representing the best of Antonian!

Faculty Highlight: Mrs. Laura Rodriguez |
|
|
|
We have all heard the phrase, "There is no 'I' in team" and no one understands that more than Mrs. Laura Rodriguez (Coach Rod). As a former coach, she understands that it takes a team effort for a school to be successful, and she is an important member of the team.
Coach Rod has been with Antonian for 24 years. Her commitment to our students is spent on a technical end, as she maintains the digital records of all student coursework and grades. Her years of experience serve her well in her role as Registar.
We could not be more grateful for her continuous commitment to our community, as she accomplishes the vital day-to-day tasks needed to help Antonian stay successful.
