From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal

Dear Parents,

Welcome Back! I hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing fun-filled week! We are down to 27 days of school & lots to accomplish before then!

Here are a couple of important items:

  • Tuition - Please be sure that final tuition bills are paid by May 15th (the last payment date was April 15).

  • No School Friday, May 13th! This is an unused snow day.

  • MAP Testing: K5- gr 5 will be MAP testing next week. Please do not schedule appointments during testing times.

Finally, I take this opportunity to introduce you to Marty Van Hulle, the new principal of St. Anthony on the Lake School. Please join me in welcoming him to our SAL family. Here is a little bio about our new principal.

Blessings!
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
