NO SCHOOL -Monday, September 4

See you on Tuesday!

Dear St. Anne Catholic School Families:

It has been an amazing start to the school year. The hallways and classrooms are filled with learning and laughter. We have witnessed many new friendships being forged and so many opportunities to be grateful as we settle into the rhythm of being back to school.

It was great to see so many of you at our Parent Information Nights. We shared a lot of information, and we look forward to seeing all of you at our many school events this year.

Looking ahead to next week, we will have picture day on Wednesday, September 6th. Our first round of NWEA benchmark testing will begin next week. These tests are to assess and monitor student growth during the school year and between school years. The data from these tests allows teachers to differentiate and adjust instruction to meet the needs of our students. While there is no preparation for these test we ask that all students arrive to school on time and prepared to do their very best.

September is filled with activities, including the first parent coffee meetings, our first Dad’s Club and PTO meetings and homecoming on September 27^th. Please be sure to read the Crusader Connection to stay informed.

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday weekend.

With gratitude,

Kendall Shamas, Ed. D

Principal
