Saint Ann School Families, we are officially nearing the end of summer vacation. Teachers have been coming in and getting their rooms ready for the new school year, book orders and supplies continue to arrive, and of course, all the other little things it takes to get ready for the first day of school have been taking place. A few updates for you: · Summer PIE pick-up is now available in the Faith Development Center. · Girls gym shorts have been added to the Lands’ End uniform store. · Sports Field – the construction has begun. It will take approximately 2-3 weeks followed by another 2-3 weeks of allowing the grass to take hold before use. The goal is to be on the field in October. · Ms. Gladwell informed me this week that she is taking on a full-time position in the Trenton Public Schools. I wish her the best and am grateful for all the work and effort she put in to our school’s art program. We will begin a search for a replacement but at this point are adjusting the schedule based on the opening. We also have a few corrections that have been made to our handbook. On page 33 DYFS should have read Child Protection and Permanency. On page 38 PTA dues are $125, not $100, this amount is correctly stated in your contract. I look forward to seeing you next Thursday, August 29th, at the Back to School BBQ!
