After a 5 month haitus, Aggies are back and ready to go! Our Seniors expressed their gratitude for being back in-person and shared words of encouragement at the Student Reflections and Welcome streamed to the whole school. Their reflections emulated The Prayer of Saint Francis and The Serenity Prayer.

It is in times of great change which bring forth beautiful expressions of creativity and community! Thank you Seniors for leading in charity and joy!

If you find yourself in need of assistance due to COVID-19, please contact Mr. Bob Collett in the business office at 651-925-8801.

If your son or daughter has a non-COVID related illness that is short-term, or your student will be absent for another reason for 3 days or less, we will not be issuing Hybrid Learning accounts. Hybrid Learning is reserved only for those who've elected to do it for COVID concerns or those with COVID symptoms and/or are in quarantine. Please contact your student's Division Director if you have questions: Mr. Adkins for Lower School and Mr. Hendrickson for Upper School.

If you believe your student or anyone in your family has been exposed to COVID, or is experiencing COVID symptoms, we encourage you to schedule a rapid test at one of the three Urgency Room locations. This will provide you with a quick result and offer you quick peace of mind if you are wondering about symptoms or exposure. Check the Urgency Room website for more information.

With the start of the new school year, our school Masses will also begin. As stated last week, we are not able to invite others to join us for school masses due to COVID restrictions. Our students and teachers attending each of the Masses will cause us to reach our maximum for attendance in the Upper church.

Week 1, August 25-28 Recap! Mr. Adkins, Director of the Lower School, will be providing photo and video highlights from our Lower School, Preschool through 6th grade, so that Aggie families can gain greater access to what’s happening during the school day. From academics to student life and from sports to faculty features, we hope that parents enjoy seeing all the action that takes place in our shared work of forming Catholic hearts and minds in Faith, Reason, and Virtue! N.B. Any images of students or faculty without masks were taken in socially distanced settings in accordance with our COVID protocols. Questions, please contact Mr. Adkins.  

Over the course of this week and the next two weeks, we will have lunch in small group settings of 9-10 students with a balanced mixture of male/female and new/returning students to Saint Agnes School. The lunches will take place in the Ubel Activity Center conference room located on the second floor of the UAC. The lunch will include a catered box lunch from Aesop’s, a local business not far from school, pop/water and cookies… items we are certain most 9^th graders would enjoy!

Any student grades 7-12 interested in playing in the upper school string ensemble please see Mr. Peters in the music office after school any day of the week. The ensemble will meet on Wednesdays after school from 3:05-4:05 PM. The first rehearsal will be on Wednesday, September 23.

We are in need of parents with medical backgrounds to staff our nurse’s office on individual days to supplement our SPPS nurse/aide, who will be available virtually only until SPPS resumes in-person learning.

We also anticipate an additional need for teacher substitutes. If you are available to help in either of these areas, please contact Mrs. Kathy Kilduff in the main office as soon as possible (651-925-8700).

If you have a few hours in the middle of the day and would like to volunteer, we are looking for people daily to help with Hot Lunch (10:30AM-1:30PM). If you can’t do the whole shift we can work with that too! It’s a great way to help out and connect with our students. Sign up for once a week, once a month or whatever works with your schedule.

There may also be School Day Assistant opportunities during the school year on an as needed basis.

You will need be current with E3/VIRTUS requirements for above areas. Please contact Volunteer & Safe Environment Coordinator Annette Beaudry at 651-925-8826 if you are interested.

Did you know?  Once you qualify for Free or Reduced priced meals it is good for the entire school year.  Many households have had changes to their income in the past few months.  You may want to review the income chart on the application to see if you now qualify. Qualification is based on the number of people living in the household and the current income.  Applications for Free / Reduced price meals are on the school website. Contact Sandy Veal 651-925-8815 for assistance
