Kindergarten Attends Mass This Friday, 10/4!
This Friday, Kindergarten will be joining the school at 8am Mass for the first time. Please ensure that students are wearing their FORMAL MASS UNIFORMS on Friday, as well as every Friday moving forward. We will be sitting with our 8th grade big buddies to help us during mass!
Kindergarten Saint Project
This year, St. Anthony of Padua School is completing an all school Saint project on NORTH & SOUTH AMERICAN SAINTS (I provided a list of saints you can choose from!) Kindergarten Saints Project information will be inside your child’s homework folder tomorrow! Kinder students are asked to create a puppet and complete the saint worksheet for their project. This will be due on Friday, November 1st.
Parent-Teacher Conferences Oct-7-11th
Please take note of your chosen date/time for our Parent Conferences that will take place on the week of Oct-7-11th. I sent out the link during back to school night and emailed it out a few weeks ago, my sign up Genius is now CLOSED. If you did not make an appointment, please email me directly.
CA Science Center Field Trip – October 24
I am so excited for our 1st field trip of the year! Kindergarten and 1st grade will be going together to the CA Science Center on Thursday, Oct 24th. Permission Forms will be going home tomorrow in your child’s homework folder. As for chaperones, we are able to have 6 — they are our 4 room parents, Ms. Maria (our Kinder Aide), and myself. We are not asking for any additional designated chaperones for this field trip. However, the CA Science center is a public place, you can meet us there but please remember that this is a school event, and children must remain with their chaperones at all times!
