Dear Parents,


I hope that you and your child(ren) have enjoyed our opening days of school. It was wonderful to see all of you arriving at school yesterday! There was a great deal of positive energy buzzing around everyone. I know you received a pile of papers and forms from the office and your child's teacher yesterday. Please know that we appreciate the time and effort you are putting into filling out the forms and getting them back to school by their due dates. Thank you.

Our Back To School Nights this year are set to take place on September 7 and September 8. September 7ths Back to School Night is for parents who have children in grades 6-8. The 6-8 grade Back To School Night will start out in our school's upper cafeteria at 7:00 p.m. and then families will go up to the classrooms. The Back to School Night for parents with children in grades K - 5 will take place on Thursday, Sept. 8 and will start out at 7:00 p.m. in our church and then continue down here in your child(ren)'s classroom(s). Please note that there will be a repeat classroom sessions for our K-5 families who have multiple children in those grades so you can get around to more than one classroom. More information will be coming home in the next two weeks.

Again, it is great to be back and see all of our great students and their wonderful families!!!

  • The second category is "Principal's Honors." Students in grades 5-8 who earn a 4.0 GPA in a quarter will be recognized for "Principal Honors."
  • The remaining criteria for earning or not earning Honors or Principal Honors remains UNCHANGED as noted in the 2022-2023 Parent Handbook.

ST. ANNE SCHOOL'S LANDSCAPE PROJECT - I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

As most of you have noted, we have not started our Landscaping Project around the perimeter of our school yard. The reason for the delay is that the architect has not been able to find a landscape contractor to hire for the job. All contractors seem to be too busy.

I am now reaching out to any of our school families who might know of or have contact with a landscape contractor who is interested in bidding for this sizable job!!! If you know of any company, please have them contact me and I can share the plans with them. I would like to have this project started as soon as possible, so the sooner I can speak with interested companies, the sooner we can get this project started! Have them email me at White@stanne.com

If you have not seen the plans for our school's landscape project, you can stop by the school's front office and look over the scope of the project. Thanks for your help!
