SAINT ANN SCHOOL

Even during these extraordinary times, Saint Ann School students and families haven't stopped serving and supporting our local community. Just recently, Thanks to our PTA, SAS families have turned to local business Willis Greenhouse to welcome Fall. Through the PTA Fall Mum Fundraiser parents were able to purchase vouchers to redeem in exchange for beautiful mums, a great way to support our school and our local businesses at the same time! Thank you to all who participated in the fundraiser and happy Fall to all!

Saint Ann School families, Throughout the year, students will once again take the Renaissance Star Assessments to help teachers understand what their students know and what they are ready to learn next. These are given to all of the students in the 2nd through 8th grade. Typically, these assessments are administered in the school setting. This fall we will not just be administering this assessment in school but will also be providing tools so our remote learners are assessed. Please check my latest email to you to learn all the information necessary for your child to complete the tests. When schedules for the assessment are finalized, teachers will email them to you and also post them on Google Classroom. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. God bless!

Tuesday, Sept. 15 marks the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from 09/15 to 10/15. This year's theme is "The National Parks Service Commemorates the rich Hispanic history and culture found in many parks". At Saint Ann School, students will be celebrating the Hispanic culture every day not only during Spanish class with Mrs. Laccetti but incorporating activities and lessons to the general curriculum with videos and articles that the teachers will share with their classes. Check out Mrs. Laccetti's web page for more information and resources that you can share with your children at home as well!
