Reopening Plan Set to Be Released on Wednesday, July 15:
As we have been stating for the past month or so, our administrators, Fr. Moriarty, and I have been working with the Saint Agnes Reopening Committee to put together a preliminary plan with the broad strokes of what school will look like when we reopen our building in late August. That preliminary plan will be released on Wednesday this week. We will be sending out a letter and a document via electronic newsletter that outlines our approach to reopening school. The finalized plan with more detail will come out on Monday, August 3rd. Note that some of the details we articulate may change due to COVID-19 changes in Minnesota and in the Archdiocese.

After School Care:
We offer After School Care supervision to students in grades K-6 from dismissal (3:00 PM) until 5:00 PM each school day. This program, located in our school cafeteria, offers Saint Agnes families supervision of their student’s self-directed use of time within a monitored space, a school supply of games, art activities, access to our courtyard playground (weather permitting), and an opportunity to complete homework. How it Works/Fees: All K-6 students that have not been picked up by 3:00 PM, except for those students involved in after-school sports and other pre-approved activities, will be charged a fee of $0.10 per minute per student between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM; this is a base rate of $6.00 per hour per student. Students not picked by 5:00 PM will be assessed a late pick up charge of $10.00; students who still have not been picked up by 5:30 PM will be assessed a larger penalty of $20; recurring incidences of late pick-up may result in a withdrawal from the program. Based on the actual minutes logged in After School Care from the sign-in/sign-out system, a monthly bill will be added to each family’s TADS account on the 15th of each month. Please budget accordingly if you have multiple students in the After School Care Program.
School Supply Kits:
NEW this year, we are offering the option of pre-packaged school supply kits. Kits are available to be purchased and shipped directly to your home. Supply kits are customizable and orders over $50 receive free shipping. For more information and to place an order, visit:
