From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
I’d like to extend a huge Thank You to our teachers for their creativity in surviving our first week back. I have heard from many parents that it is “hard to have our kids stuck inside with all this cold weather” - multiply that by 28! The teachers have done a great job keeping the kids active while safe at the same time with a full week of indoor recess! – Thank you!
COVID update: As of this writing we have 9 active cases in our school. 13 students quarantining and will return upon negative tests early this week. It is imperative that you immediately let us know if your child has tested positive. I need to contact trace in the classroom ASAP to prevent the spread. I am doing all I can to keep our doors open - but I also need your help. Also, please let me know if your child(ren) tested positive over break.
Due to the need to social distance at Mass, we have returned to live streamed Mass for our 3K, 4K and 5K students. If you are opposed to having your child stay in their classroom for Mass, please let me know and I will make arrangements for them to sit with me during Mass.
MAP testing began today. We will work with families who are out to make up testing. Thanks for not scheduling appointments during this time. It is difficult for students to make up these tests and achieve the same results as if they were in their classroom settings. Please be sure your child is getting a good night's rest and eating a healthy breakfast.
Catholic Schools Week will soon be upon us. Look for details in next week’s newsletter! Catholic Schools Week is January 30 – February 4th.
Blessings!
Mrs. Ellen Knippel

eRATE Survey
A survey was sent home last week with oldest and only for the eRATE program. The purpose of this survey is to identify student candidates who would qualify for the National Free and Reduced School Lunch program. While St Anthony does not participate in this program, the survey results will be used to calculate how much of a technology discount St Anthony will receive through another Federal program known as eRATE. Please complete and return by Friday, January 14th. Thank you for your support!
End of Day Changes
Here are some reminders about End of Day Changes. Contact the school office with questions.
- Please remember to send in an End of Day change form if you know your child/ren normal pick up plan is different.
- If it's after 1:00pm, you must call school office with change.
- If your child will be leaving school early, call the office or send an email versus the form.
