This week's BUZZ
Week ending May 1, 2020 (week 6 of virtual learning)
May, the month of Mary
I hope you enjoyed this first week back from April staycation. We have completed our 6th week of virtual leaning and we will continue in this manner for the remainder of the school year. With that being said, we will be working on some plans in the weeks ahead to get personal belongings back to you and then returning of school supplies and technology back to the school. I will keep you posted.
At Saint Anna we are doing an extraordinary job with keeping our students current in continuing their education. We are working as a team with parents and students in getting curriculum executed and will continue to do so for the remainder of the school year.
It is important to understand that we are not just filling in time with work that will not be graded or looked at. It is important to understand that attendance is taken daily. The work that teachers are assigning is important in keeping our students up to date with the curriculum and ready for the fall. Teachers are utilizing many methods in trying to reach our students. Teachers are utilizing Google classroom, Zoom, and other methods such as a daily question to ensure that students are attending classes. Students must attend school on a daily basis even if the process in which we are leaning has changed. So please sign in, email your child's teacher so that we can attest to your presence during this unprecedented time in education.
- Parents please note that students should be out of bed when entering a Zoom or virtual classroom. (On the bed is fine, but out from the covers and ready to learn :-)
- Students should be dressed appropriately, i.e. with a shirt on if in a video conference.
- When in a video, the video should be turned on during the instruction.
- Students should not be playing with toys, running in and out of the conference when instruction is taking place.
- Cooperation with these items is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Everything has been progressing along quite well. We have had a few hiccups with technology and will be working out something for our lower level Italian classes. (Thank you for your patience). Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this time.
Stay healthy and God Bless,
Mrs. Veilleux

COVID19 has changed our way of learning...at least for the time being.
We are planning for the opening of our doors in the fall for the 2020-2021 school year. We will continue to do our best in offering the tools to make sure our students are prepared for the future.
St. Anna prides itself on how well we were able to adjust to virtual learning. Leaning continues, teachers are engaged with their students and our students continue to learn.
It's important to know that we are working on plans for the new academic year. In order for us to plan and create a budget, it's important for you to know that we rely on real time numbers and those numbers come from those that have registered. We respectfully request that you complete the registration process so that we may plan for the future. If you know of friends or neighbors, please share with them your experience at St. Anna. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.
St. Anna continues to pride itself on it's dedication and commitment to our Faith and to our Academics. Help us to recruit more families and share your love of our school.
