Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

On this 12^th Day of Christmas, I hope you continue to celebrate Christmas and the Incarnation of Jesus the Christ! Happy New Year to you and your family as well. We are excited to partner with you for the remainder of the 22-23 school year.

Next year’s academic calendar has been set, so feel free to look for it here.

Snow-Related Adjustments

Thank you to all our families this morning for rolling with the adjusted approach to drop-off. I found out at 6:20 AM this morning that Lafond Avenue had not been plowed yet. A special thank you also to our maintenance crew for making sure we got Lafond Avenue cleared enough to get a line of cars through beginning around 7:30 AM.

I enjoyed seeing so many of you in your cars, and I’m grateful that you followed our impromptu, amended approach. It was such a tribute to the spirit of good will and Christmas cheer so clearly evident in the Saint Agnes School community!

Upcoming Communications/Re-enrollment

Next week we will be sending out re-enrollment information to our families for the 2023-24 school year. In that communication, we will also convey new tuition rates for next school year.

When we met earlier this week as a Headmaster’s Council (our school’s advisory board), the members of the council and I wanted to make sure that you know of our school’s commitment to keeping our families in our community.

Please know how important you are to our community and that our school is committed to working with families to make sure people can make ends meet and support this school with tuition dollars.
