Notes from Mrs. Pudelko     
  • Health Department Toolkit - The Health Department continues to update the School Toolkit.  All parents are encouraged to review these updates here (as of 9/3/2020).   When you are calling in for your child, please be specific in the symptoms that he/she has and update us if the symptoms change.  We appreciate all that parents are doing to ensure that our students stay healthy, which will allow us to stay in school for in-person learning.  If your child is displaying symptoms, please keep him/her home from school. 
  • Canvas - Thank you to all of our parents who have started to utilize Canvas to review what our students are learning in school.  The Office of Catholic Schools has provided many resources to assist parents with learning.  You can access those resources here. For classroom specific information, please email your child's homeroom teacher.  
  • Athletics - With the recent changes with MHSAA and Executive Orders regarding school athletics, the Diocese of Grand Rapids, along with GRACEAC, will be publishing an update to "Living our Mission in Today's Reality."  This document is in its final review stages and should be released to families soon.  Any adjustments that will be St. Anthony specific, in regard to competitions and practices, will be shared next week.  Thank you for your patience as we navigate these new protocols. 
  • Bishop COVID relief scholarships - At this time, the final round of Bishop's COVID relief scholarships have been awarded.  This has been a great support to many of our families.  If you would like to extend a thank you for this additional support, a thank you can be sent c/of Shelley Hoffman at the Office of Catholic Schools.  (schooladmin@grcatholicschools.org)
