Please Help Us Find a Director for Our Spring Musical

We have begun to advertise for a successor to David Johnson as director of the Saint Agnes School Musical! We have already begun by reaching out to the Catholic community in the Twin Cities with an advertisement for a director. If you know of someone who may be interested and a good fit for Saint Agnes School’s unique mission and vision for Catholic education, please forward them the ad. 

Please also pray that the Holy Spirit prompts the right person to respond to the ad and join our wonderful staff! We will do what we always do—namely, entrust the whole process to the Blessed Mother, who has cared so well for our school through her prayers. See advertisement here.

One-Act Play Festival 11/10 & 11/11

The Saint Agnes Drama Club will be performing its first ever One-Act Play Festival on Friday, November 10^th and Saturday, November 11^th. Come support these excellent (and hilarious!) student actors as they perform two one-act comedies: The Internet is Distract—Oh, Look a Kitten! and 13 Ways (or more) to Screw up Your College Interview . Both performances will be held in the Helene Houle Auditorium starting at 7:00 PM each evening. Adult tickets are $10.00. Student tickets (12 and older) are $5.00. All proceeds will support the Drama Club.

Attention All Saint Agnes Bakers!  In addition to performing the One-Act Play Festival, the Drama Club is looking to sell desserts at intermission as a fundraiser.  If you would like to donate a dessert to sell OR donate money to purchase desserts, please contact Mr. Broszko, director of the Drama Club, at sbroszko@saintagnesschool.org.

AP Exam Sign-Ups Due: Monday, Nov. 13

Those students (and their parents) of Honors courses that qualify for an AP exam have already received forms and an email. Please see here for more details. AP exams are not open to anyone; you must be recommended and receive the signature of the honors-level course instructor.



Questions? Please contact your student’s teacher.

Dual Enrollment (Earn College Credit at Saint Agnes) – Registration begins Nov. 15 – Dec. 5

This is a heads-up that dual-enrollment registration begins soon. NOTE: There are some dual-enrollment and AP eligible courses that overlap. Please see the attached document if you and your student are determining whether to do AP, dual-enrollment, or both. 

The general recommendation is: if you are able to do both, it can be helpful; if you can only do one, choose dual-enrollment (more of a guarantee of investment). More information on dual-enrollment will come out next week (i.e. letter, registration forms, etc.).

Questions? Please contact Mr. Michael Adkins, Dean of Academics

Upper School Event Planning Help Needed

Mark your calendars and join in the planning for the following High School events: Father-Daughter Dance, Mother-Son Event, and Senior (Graduation) Party. These parent-planned events have been a Saint Agnes tradition!

Planning often includes a couple of meetings (to brainstorm ideas and make decisions) and coordinating the administration of the process from invitations to the event itself. There's a place for everyone's talent and availability! The budgets for these events are self-sustaining, based on the participant registration fees anticipated for each event.  Parents interested in planning, helping to sponsor any aspect of the event, or working the event itself are encouraged to reach out to Volunteer Coordinator, Annette Beaudry (abeaudry@saintagnesschool.org), who maintains the volunteer lists each year. (Note: E3/VIRTUS compliance is required of event supervisors and chaperones.) 

Father-Daughter Dance

The Father-Daughter Dance is scheduled for Saturday, February 3rd, 2024. This event invites young ladies in grades 9 through 12 to attend a themed dance with their dad (or grandfather, godfather or other male role model), which includes expert dance instruction, desserts, and photos. The coordination of this event has been led by Jodi Galush and Kathleen Steffes for many years --and their youngest children will be graduating! A couple parents would need to step up to take over the planning of this event to keep up this tradition. Planning for this year’s event will start soon –come with your ideas, help decide the theme, and join in the fun!   

Mother-Son Event 

The Mother-Son Event is scheduled for Saturday, February 24th, 2024. This event has not taken place for a few years, so we are hoping to re-establish this tradition for mothers and sons in grades 9 through 12.  Planning is underway --join Mickie Ryan and Cathy Clyde in coordinating this event!  

Senior Party

The Senior Party immediately follows the graduation events on Friday, May 31, 2024 and invites the senior class to celebrate together on their graduation night at a lock-in at Base Camp. This event is filled with great activities, entertainment, food, and prizes. Join the planning in the spring, led by Tina Graner.

We are grateful and blessed for the continued leadership of our Saint Agnes families in planning and supporting these events with your time, talent, and/or treasure! Let’s keep these events a strong tradition!  

Red and White Volunteers Needed

The Red and White Benefit Dinner and Auction will come quickly after the New Year, and we are in need of volunteers! Specifically, we are looking for a lead volunteer responsible for table decorating and flowers, as well as for volunteers to call and solicit donations from businesses and individuals--this can be done from home!

Contact Events Coordinator Mrs. Sara Bruggemann to help.

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.

See the Saint Agnes athletic calendar for all times, locations, and livestreams for this week's games.

Please contact Athletic Director Mr. Streitz with any questions.

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.

Educate – Update Contact Information and Communication Preferences

Parents and Upper School Students are encouraged to update their Contact Information and Communication Preferences in Educate annually. Please review this document for instructions.
