March 21, 2023Saint Ann School is partnering with Saint James School of Red Bank to raise funds for the Share Uganda Charity. One of our former teachers, Ms. Shields, often participates in volunteer work and this year she has the opportunity to travel to Uganda and help facilitate the Sanyu Project, a self-sustainable sanitary towel project for girls in Uganda's rural areas. Ms. Shields, along with Dr. Lisa Collins and Dr. Janina Moereke, will be traveling to Kaaso, in Southern Uganda to establish this project and find a solution for young women to be able to receive an education. In order to support this cause we will be having a dress-down day on Friday, March 24 for a $2 minimum, with all money raised being donated to Share Uganda. As we support Ms. Shields with our constant prayers, we are happy to put our faith into action with this service project. Thank you Miss Shields for this great opportunity to be citizens of the world! For more information about this project visit www.shareuganda.co.ukRead More -

January 3, 2023Saint Ann School is excited to announce an important adjustment being made to the schedule options of our Prekindergarten Program, beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year. After much discussion and research, it has been decided that next year (2023-2024 SY) the PreK 4 program will move to a full day for ALL enrollees and will have options of 4 or 5 days a week. We will also transition students away from nap time within the first two months of school. This change will allow the program to continue its preparation for kindergarten and also better integrate the students into the whole school. More information about this change will be available shortly. For any questions or concerns please contact Mr. Chiaravalloti at schiaravalloti@st-ann-school.orgRead More -

October 12, 2022A few reminders to keep in mind as we enter flu and general sickness season. Three Questions to ask yourself about your sick child: 1) Does your child have a fever? Fevers of 99.9° F or higher generally indicate illness so children should stay home from school. Children need to be fever free without the use of fever-reducing medications (Tylenol, Motrin) for 24 hours before returning to school. - 2) Is your child well enough to engage in classroom activities? If ill children are too tired or run down to attend school, keep them home. - 3) Do you think your child has a contagious illness? If so, keep them home and take them to the doctor for confirmation and medication (if needed). Additionally, if your child is sent home from school for having a fever or vomiting, they cannot return to school the next day. If you are unsure whether to send your child to school, please contact your child’s doctor's office or the school nurse (Nurse@st-ann-school.org). Thank you for keeping SAS safe!Read More -

September 8, 2022SAS Families, here are the most updated COVID guidelines from the NJ Department of Health: "Quarantine is no longer recommended for people who are exposed to COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. Therefore, NJDOH is discontinuing its recommendation for a Test to Stay Program. However, asymptomatic students and staff who were exposed to COVID-19 should continue to test and wear a mask for 10 days. Those individuals who test positive, regardless of vaccination status, and individuals with COVID-19 symptoms who have not been tested and do not have an alternative diagnosis from their healthcare provider, should stay at home for at least 5 full days after symptom onset or after the positive test. Individuals who have no symptoms, or symptoms are resolving after 5 days and are fever-free for 24 hours, can return to school and wear a mask for an additional 5 days." So if you were exposed you need to wear a mask and self-monitor for 10 days - there is no longer a quarantine period. If you test positive, 5-day isolation and as long as you are symptom-free, you can return to school and wear a mask for 5 days. This guidance is for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. If you have any questions, please contact our nurse, Mrs. Krista GladneyRead More -
August 31, 2022Hello everyone, my name is Chris Tricoles, "Mr. T" and I am happy to be a part of the Saint Ann School community to teach science to grades 5-8. This is my 1st year teaching at SAS and my 1st year teaching in a classroom environment. I received an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice from Nassau Community College in Garden City, NY and a Bachelors in Science from St. John's University in Jamaica, NY. Even though it is my 1st year in my own classroom, I am not a stranger to a teaching environment. Previously, I have been a variety of roles in education. First, I started as a lunchroom/playground aide in special education at the Samsel Upper Elementary School in Sayreville, NJ. Next followed becoming a substitute teacher for the Sayreville Board of Education and assumed that role at the Sayreville Middle School and Assumption Catholic School in Perth Amboy, NJ. I was introduced to being an educator when assuming the role of a interim physical education teacher at John Adams Elementary School in North Brunswick Township, NJ and the following year became a Paraprofessional/co-teacher at North Brunswick Township High School assisitng a student on a 1:1 basis while attending general education classes. Also assumed the role as a assistant coach on the "Raider Robotix" team as well. In the prior 3 summers, I have been a Nature/Survival Skills specialist at Eagles Landing Day Camp, also located in North Brunswick, NJ instructing children from ages 2-15. The professional experience I have gained is in multiple areas such as , Military, Law Enforcement, Banking and Retail Sales Management. I have been very involved in many areas of various communities being a Scout Leader and Merit Badge Counselor for Scouting BSA, working with the Girl Scouts, being involved in he past as a member of the Holy Name Society, affiliated with the St. Stanislaus Kostka RC Church and being the Corresponding Secretary for the "HSA", Home School Association for the St. Stanislaus Kostka School in Sayreville, NJ. I have a passion for Science as well as History and hope to share my love for problem-solving and exploring the unknown with my students. I look forward to an amazing year with all the students, faculty and staff and hope to create new and everlasting memories in the upcoming school year and years to come.Read More

August 25, 2022"Home is the first and primary school. Parents are the first and primary teachers. By the time children enter the doors of a school, substantial education and formation has already taken place. Children bring with them to school all that they have learned in the family home: language and basic vocabulary, behaviors and social skills, attitudes and values."...
