News from our Principal and Office Manager regarding
Returning Student Registration
Dear Saint Anne Parent,
Thank you for choosing our outstanding two time Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, Saint Anne Parish School, for your family. We are blessed to have you and your children as a part of our faith-filled learning community.
As a reminder, registration for the 2017-2018 school year has begun. However, we have changed the process to make it more convenient for you to register your child(ren) for next year.
We are presuming that all current students will be returning.
If your child(ren) are returning
to Saint Anne Parish School next year, you will be billed the $75 per child, non-refundable registration fee on your January, 2017 payment plan through Smart Tuition. The $75 fee reserves your child's spot for the upcoming school year.
If your child(ren) are
NOT returning to Saint Anne Parish School next year, please contact Mrs. Donna Cherwin in writing before January 10, 2017 to avoid being charged the $75 per child registration fee.
The New Student
Registration
for returning families, with a child who will be
new
to Saint Anne Parish School for the 2017-2018 school year, will soon be available. Please watch for upcoming details.
If you plan to apply for financial assistance, please contact Mrs. Margaret Buckstaff, our Parish Business Manager at 847-620-3054. She will be happy to help you. As always, all correspondence or conversations are held in strict confidence.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dawn Kapka
Principal
Mrs. Donna Cherwin
Office Manager

Emergency Closing Info / Recess Guidelines
Emergency Closing
-
Winter is upon us! If St. Anne Parish School needs to have an emergency closing, you will be notified by School Rush, our broadcast system. In addition, we will send out an email through Constant Contact. It will also be posted on our website.
We will continue to report school closings due to snow or weather through the www.emergencyclosings.com who will broadcast through the local TV and radio stations.
Recess -
As the winter weather changes, it is time to review the recess guidelines.
Please remember to dress your children each school day for the outdoors, including hats, gloves, winter coats, etc. Students are allowed to play in the snow, if dressed appropriately, with snow pants and boots. Students will go outside unless recovering from an illness, injury or the weather does not permit. The guidelines are as follows:
- If temperature / wind chill is 15 degrees or warmer, outdoor recess follows the daily schedule.
- If temperature / wind chill is 5 to 15 degrees, the time outside will be adjusted.
- If temperature / wind chill is below 5 degrees, students will remain indoors.

Living Christmas Gospel
Children in kindergarten through fourth grade are invited to take part in the Living Gospel at the 2:30pm
Mass (only) on Christmas Eve.
If your child would like to participate, they
MUST attend the rehearsal on Friday, December 23rd, at 1:00 p.m., in the church. The rehearsal will last approximately one hour. It is important that your child attend the rehearsal as there is no time to provide direction to children who have not rehearsed prior to the beginning of Mass.
There will be adult coordinators there, who can use some help from parents for both the rehearsal and prior to and during Mass. Please volunteer, if possible, to help them organize the children, costumes and movement for the Mass. "Call" time for the living gospel on Christmas Eve will be announced at the rehearsal. Plan to arrive early for Mass because parking will be at a premium.
Again, if your child wants to take part,
please bring them to the rehearsal Friday, December 23, at 1pm. There is no need to sign up.
