SAINT ANN SCHOOL

Good Morning Saint Ann School Families, The month of July has been a very busy one at the school. The office staff has busily been ordering supplies for the upcoming school year, the new cleaning company has been scrubbing the school, and a lot of projects have or are in the process of being started. The second-floor rooms are being painted this summer. The sports field renovation has been approved and is scheduled to begin in August. This might mean that the field is unavailable for use at the start of the school year while the grass takes root. I think we can all agree it is worth a little inconvenience in order to have a field that is able to be fully enjoyed. The kitchen renovation is still awaiting some plan finalization. Fr. Dela Cruz and I have been meeting with contractors to move this project along as it is a high priority. We have made some changes to our teaching staff as well. I am pleased to announce that Elizabeth Santini has been hired to fill the 5th-8th grade Math position. Ms. Santini comes to us with prior experience as a middle school math teacher and has worked in the Diocese. In her previous position, she taught Algebra, Pre-Algebra, and advanced math. Also, Mrs. Petura recently informed me that she will be taking on a full-time position in a public school. I wish her the best in this new endeavor and appreciate all the effort she put into her classroom. I am excited to announce that Meredith Socha, a current parent, and previous PTA President, will be stepping into the role of Pre-K 4 teacher. Mrs. Socha brings experience to the position and is a certified teacher. As a reminder, we begin the transition to the new school uniforms this year. They are purchased through Lands’ End. Any students wearing the old uniform will follow all the new guidelines. This means they will wear black or brown shoes with shorts/pants, not white sneakers. Our Preferred School Number is 900189564. I look forward to seeing you at the Back to School BBQ is scheduled for August 29th. Have a wonderful rest of summer! Salvatore Chiaravalloti, Principal
