Stanford 10 (SAT10) Results – Spring 2022

Parents of returning students in current grades 1-9:

Last week you should have received SAT10 testing results from May of 2022 (if your son or daughter was enrolled at Saint Agnes). You also should have received a cover letter that helps explain how to understand and interpret the results.



Our school’s performance: I am pleased to report that each of the grades, K-8, that participated in the SAT10 exam last spring performed above average among competitive private schools this past year in the core areas of Total Reading and Total Math.  We even improved by a few points in both Math and Reading overall. By 4^th grade our students begin to perform well above average, posting some impressive scores close to the 80^th percentile (meaning that most students in the grade are scoring well above average and even at the 80^th percentile or higher). 

Questions? Please contact Mr. Michael Adkins.

No School on Monday, October 3rd

The first of the days off that we have incorporated into the school calendar this year takes place on the Monday after Homecoming week (10/3). The school and the office will be closed. In addition, please pay attention to communication from coaches regarding practices for fall sports that day.

Parent Education Event – Promoting Healthy Technology Use – October 4th

All Saint Agnes School parents are invited to a special parent education event with information about recommended approaches regarding digital technology usage (e.g. smartphone, social media, etc.) for kids and teens. Come to learn from current and past Saint Agnes parents and the administration about concerns to be aware of, strategies and resources to address concerns, and ways to promote a positive relationship with technology for students.

This event will be 7:00-8:30 PM on Tuesday, October 4th in the Helene Houle Auditorium. 

Introducing Our New Learning Specialist: Mrs. Jolene Abelson!

We are pleased to announce that we have a part-time Learning Specialist on staff, Mrs. Jolene Abelson. Mrs. Abelson will initially work with students whom faculty and administration have identified with academic support needs; she is here at school each day from 7:30AM until 1:30PM to support our students.  

The mission of this new program is to support students in order that they achieve grade-level proficiency in the core subjects of Math & English Language Arts. New this year, Mrs. Abelson will work with Saint Agnes’ own curriculum to support student needs with a greater focus on achieving grade-level success. 

We believe this will be vastly superior to previous interventions and academic student support (such as St. Paul Public School’s Title I program).   

Students who will benefit from support have been identified and will receive a letter about the program this week. Please contact Mr. Michael Adkins if you have questions.

We recommend that any current families with children that will be joining us NEW next year apply through TADS now to reserve your seat. This is for any NEW students in grades PreK – 12th Grade that will be joining Saint Agnes School as a NEW student next year. This is NOT re-enrollment time for current Aggie students (that will occur in January 2023).

Additional CASA Volunteers Needed

As seasons and sports schedules change, CASA will need new volunteers. Serving even one hour a week while your child(ren) is at practice makes a huge difference. Volunteers can even bring younger kids along as they serve.
