Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please mark your calendars for Open House on Sunday, 1/27. Mass is from 11am-12 noon and Open House is from 12-2pm. Thank you to our PLC Chair, Sonia Martin, our Room Parents and volunteers who are coordinating these events! Students who come to Mass in their formal mass uniform, and all student performers and choir members will receive a free dress pass. We are excited to have Special Person’s Day on Friday, February 1st, the last day of Catholic Schools’ Week! We will have our normal 8am Friday Mass that day and ALL students can invite somebody they consider “special” to them, an adult 18 or older. We will celebrate Mass together honoring that Special Person (it’s optional to sit together with your child and their class), and then you may leave and return to have lunch with your child from 10:30am-11:50 am on our school grounds in designated areas. Dismissal is at 12 NOON ON 2/1, and daycare is provided. The “Special Person” will bring lunch for the student and they will have the chance to eat together, beginning after recess (the schedule to sign out students in the office and with teachers is similar to that of “Trunk or Treat” during Halloween). The 8th grade class is planning to do a fundraiser to pre-sell meals for this event. Please stay tuned for more info. This will be a beautiful celebration and everyone is strongly encouraged to attend. Please let your teachers know in advance who your child’s special person will be.
Also – a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL or Daycare on January 21 due to the MLK Jr. Holiday. Our 3rd STAR testing window will occur from 2/4-2/15. We will have one more at the end of the year to measure student progress. The 2nd trimester ends on 3/9, and Progress reports go home on 1/23 in your parent envelopes, if not earlier. Please sign and return these reports to school, and continue to keep close communication with your child’s teacher. Also, stay informed by checking Gradelink often, and sign up for notifications on your phone, if you want to get the latest with your child’s academic progress. Do also respond to any parent surveys you may receive via email to help us make our school better!
Mrs. Grey, Principal

IMPORTANT EARLY KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION!
If you have a child that will be entering Kindergarten next year and is NOT at St. Anthony’s Day Nursery – please contact me right away to let me know so I can include him/her on the early registration list. If your child is already at the Nursery School, you have already received info and should have turned in all applications. Kinder Testing takes place January 7-11.
St. Anthony – Pray for us
