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.

6th Grade Virtue Assembly – Date Change


The 6th grade Virtue Assembly has been rescheduled to November 29th at 9:30 AM. There will be no Virtue Assembly on November 11th. 

No Parking, Please!


Please refrain from parking in the reserved spaces against the school in the Thomas Avenue lot, even if you are just dropping off your child for a minute. These spaces have been assigned or purchased by employees who are trying to get to work on time. Thank you for understanding.


Also, please do not park in the Handicap parking spaces in the same lot, or in the Handicap Zone on Lafond Avenue at any time without authorization.
