St. Anthony Families,

We are almost done with another great week of school, which brings us one week closer to the much-anticipated Summer break for our students and staff! Next week marks our annual Wildcat Walk - thank you to all of our families who have already contributed. If you have not already contributed, we ask that you generate donations from your family and friends to support this annual fundraiser. I am hopeful for the changes to our library and addition of our STEM lab for next year, but the financial support of our community is needed!

In the last couple of weeks, we have been working on setting up our new enrollment and billing platform called SchoolAdmin. This system will replace Smart Tuition and allow for continuous enrollment on an online platform. Tuition contracts with financial aid are being generated in the system and will be sent to families over the course of the next couple of weeks so that we are set for the first tuition payments in 22-23. We recognize this is an additional step for families, but will make the process seamless in the future. St. Anthony staff has been locked into the timelines set by the Diocese and are working to make this as convenient as possible for families. As always, if you have questions, please reach out to me or the school office at schooloffice@saparish.com

Middle School exams are only a week away. Our 8th grade students will take exams on May 31, June 1, and 2nd with dismissal at 10:45 am on Tuesday and Wednesday and graduation practice following exams on June 2nd. Our 6th and 7th grade students will take exams on June 7, 8, and 9. Dismissal on June 7 and 8 will be at 10:45 am and on June 9 will be 12:00 pm. The later dismissal on Thursday allows students time to turn in their Chromebook and clean out lockers. Students will attend Mass on Friday morning and attend our moving up celebration, followed by our Academic Awards. More details will be shared in the newsletter next week.

Please note, that as students turn in Chromebooks, if damage was caused by the student, an invoice will be generated to cover the cost of the damage. Students will be turning in their devices, along with the power cord during the last week of school.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Home and School meeting this week. I look forward to working with our new leadership throughout the summer as we plan for next school year.

Thank you for your continued partnership. We have open seats for next year and still are offering a referral scholarship of $500 for any new student you refer to St. Anthony. Our community grows by your word of mouth and recommendation; thank you for sharing your experiences with your friends and family!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Stay safe and God bless,
