High School Athletic Survey (Parents Only)

Last week the athletic department sent parents of high school athletes a survey link. Recently we learned that some of those emails with Gmail accounts may have gone to your spam folder.

Thank you in advance for completing this survey. Your feedback will be helpful in evaluating and improving our athletic programs.

Thanks to all of you, we can continue our mission of forming Catholic hearts and minds in faith, reason, and virtue!

Preschool Update

We are sad to announce that Mrs. Caroline Little has resigned her position and her last day was Friday, Nov. 17th.

Mrs. Nadege Kreitzman has taken over as Interim Coordinator of Saint Agnes Preschool for the balance of the school year.  

Soon, we will post a position for a part-time employee to take over the three days where we need more coverage (i.e. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). In addition, we will be looking for a new Preschool Coordinator this spring to take over the program for the 2024-25 school year. If you or anyone you know are interested, please send application materials (i.e. cover letter of interest/intent, CV/resume, 3 letters of recommendation) to: applications@saintagnesschool.org

Red & White Silent Auction Donations Needed

As Black Friday is approaching, please consider picking up items to donate to our Red and White Silent Auction. Contact Mrs. Sara Bruggemann for more information.

Upper School Showcase/Open House 11/30

Please spread the word about our US showcase set for Thursday evening, November 30^th.  Feel free to inform other Saint Agnes School mission-fit families about the event and invite them to come check out our school. If you would like to forward an email to another family, please contact Mr. Olson or Mrs. Bruggemann for information and an email detailing more information.

Dual Enrollment (Earn College Credit at Saint Agnes) – Registration Open Until Dec. 5

This is a heads-up that dual-enrollment registration has begun. NOTE: There are some dual-enrollment and AP eligible courses that overlap. Please see the attached document if you and your student are determining whether to do AP, dual-enrollment, or both. 

The general recommendation is: if you are able to do both, it can be helpful; if you can only do one, choose dual-enrollment (more of a guarantee of investment). More information on dual-enrollment will come out next week (i.e. letter, registration forms, etc.).

Questions? Please contact Mr. Michael Adkins, Dean of Academics

Red and White Volunteers Needed

The Red and White Benefit Dinner and Auction will come quickly after the New Year, and we are in need of volunteers! Specifically, we are looking for a lead volunteer responsible for table decorating and flowers, as well as for volunteers to call and solicit donations from businesses and individuals--this can be done from home!

Contact Events Coordinator Mrs. Sara Bruggemann to help.

Foley Selected to High School All-Star Football Game

Congratulations to senior Cadman Foley on being selected to play in this year’s Minnesota State High School All-Star Football Game on the North Team as an offensive lineman.  

This year marks the 50^th All-Star Game, and will be played on Saturday, December 2^nd at U.S. Bank Stadium. Kickoff is at 1:00PM. More details, including rosters and tickets can be found HERE.

Purchase Tickets to Athletic Events

This season Saint Agnes is offering two ways to buy tickets for high school athletic events. You can still purchase tickets with cash at the gate and now you may also purchase tickets online through our online ticketing partner GoFan. Many schools we play will be using the GoFan Box Office as well; many schools have gone completely cashless.

See the Saint Agnes athletic calendar for all times, locations, and livestreams for this week's games.

Please contact Athletic Director Mr. Streitz with any questions.

Upper School Event Planning Help Needed

Join in the planning for the following High School events: Father-Daughter Dance, Mother-Son Event, and Senior (Graduation) Party. Parents interested in planning, helping to sponsor any aspect of the event, or working the event itself are encouraged to reach out to Volunteer Coordinator, Annette Beaudry (abeaudry@saintagnesschool.org), who maintains the volunteer lists each year. (Note: E3/VIRTUS compliance is required of event supervisors and chaperones.) 

Please Help Us Find a Director for Our Spring Musical

We have begun to advertise for a successor to David Johnson as director of the Saint Agnes School Musical! If you know of someone who may be interested and a good fit for Saint Agnes School’s unique mission and vision for Catholic education, please forward them the ad. 

Please also pray that the Holy Spirit prompts the right person to respond to the ad and join our wonderful staff! We will do what we always do—namely, entrust the whole process to the Blessed Mother, who has cared so well for our school through her prayers. See advertisement here.

Inclement Weather School Closing/Delay Protocol & Notifications

As temperatures continue to drop, we would like to remind you of school procedures as they pertain to school closings and delays due to inclement weather:

We will make every effort to decide our status on any given day by 6:00 AM and post our status by 6:15 AM. We will give primary consideration to road/travel conditions, and we will most often err on the side of having school. We understand that families come from a variety of different cities, and weather and road conditions and directions from Saint Agnes may vary significantly; should any parents make a decision not to send their child(ren) to school, we will respect those decisions.

When a decision has been made to close or delay the start of school, the order of posting is as follows: notification via Educate’s emergency alert system (email, phone and text), posting to the school website, and, finally, notification to the four major media sites (WCCO, KARE11, FOX9, KSTP5). Other supplemental notification may be given by social media but is not guaranteed.
