After School Care Update - CASA Program!
My name is Tracy Schmidt and I am the new After School Care Coordinator. I am a parent of three Saint Agnes alumni and a current junior. My husband, Greg, also teaches in the Upper School Science Department. This past year I was a substitute teacher and also worked in the After School Care (ASC) program. It was a blessing to work with and get to know many of our Lower School students!
I am excited to return to After School Care as Coordinator this year! We are working hard to improve the program. To begin, we’ve renamed after care: CASA (Caring for After School Aggies), a Latin and Spanish word meaning “house”! More importantly, I am hoping to recruit a core group of high school students to serve as mentors to our Lower School students. Additionally, we plan to update our supplies, purchase new games and create an overall more consistent schedule for our students.
I need your help bringing the CASA vision to life. Each day, we need two adult volunteers to act as CASA helpers. Ideally, Aggie parents would sign up for the same day each week, but any amount of help is appreciated. A parent helper’s role would be to make sure children stay in designated spaces, follow rules, and stay safe during their time in CASA. I have found this to be a rewarding position and a great way to serve our school.
Please sign up via this Sign Up Genius link. This CASA sign up covers the first semester only. I will provide two short training sessions in August. Volunteers need to attend only one of the sessions. Please note: volunteers will need to make sure that they are E3/Virtus trained to quality; please contact Annette Beaudry if you need to sign up or if you are not sure if you have completed the requirements.
I look forward to working with you!
In Christ,
Tracy Schmidt
CASA Coordinator

Kitchen Help Needed!
A few of our kitchen crew members are moving on and will not be with us next year. While we wish them the best, there will be some very part time positions available--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 require anticipation of needs of our customers (students and staff) as well as the patience of a SAINT!
The full job description is attached here.
Please email Food Service Manager, Kelly DiPietro, with any inquiries.
