Kitchen Help Needed

Aggie families: We are in need of help in our kitchen during lunch--anywhere from 1-3 days per week. The kitchen is a fun, energetic part of the school where you get to work with a great team AND meet the students in the school. This job is physical and fast paced. It does required anticipation of the needs of our customers (students and staff) as well as the patience of a saint!

The job description can be found here.

Please email Food Service Manager, Kelly DiPietro, with any inquiries. 

From Mrs. Naughton & Mr. Adkins:

Thank you to those K-6 Lower School parents who came to our evening (9/21) and morning (9/22) Parent Orientation events! If you missed out, please contact your student’s teacher about information. Also, please reference the Parent’s Guides emailed last week. If you did not receive an email about grade-level Parent’s Guides, please email Mrs. Naughton, Asst. Director of Lower School.

Upcoming Fall Standardized Testing (Upper School)

• On October 18th, seniors will sit for the Classic Learning Test CLT exam (paper administration). The exam results can be used to apply to many great colleges and universities, all of which Aggies commonly attend. In addition, a strong performance on the CLT is factored by many Catholic liberal arts colleges and universities into various scholarships. More information on Oct. 18 testing details forthcoming, but seniors can learn more about the CLT, take a practice test, and see how CLT compares to ACT and SAT here at the Classic Learning Test website.  

• Looking ahead, the PSAT will be administered to all juniors and qualifying sophomores on Tuesday, October 24th. New this year, it will be a computer-based test administration. More information forthcoming from Mr. Adkins. For information about the PSAT, take a practice test, and the National Merit Scholarship Program visit the PSAT website 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.
