Information for families for our return to school. Registration is required Please click on this link:
From our Principal - Mrs. Bentz:
DEAR ST. ANNE SCHOOL FAMILY - Thank you for your continuing kind, patient support of our school community. You chose St. Anne School because you desired a safe and secure, academically strong, caring and faith- filled experience for your children. NOTHING HAS CHANGED - OUR MISSION IS AS STRONG AS EVER .
As we near the return to school -----
ST. ANNE SCHOOL WILL OPEN IN THE FALL - FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS AUGUST 31ST. Preschool will open as usual the week after the labor day holiday.
ALL schools, including local school districts and Diocesan schools will open with specific guidelines and restrictions in place. The planning for opening is very fluid and guidelines and recommendations are subject to change. As of today we can tell you that final details of our plan will be completed, reviewed and approved by the Diocese (based on local and state public health and safety guidelines) for presentation in late July. This careful and thoughtful planning is taking time: there are a remarkable amount of details that require careful planning and thought. All parties are working diligently and quickly for the HEALTH AND SAFETY of our students and staff.
I Can Share:
1. Bus transportation plans and processes will be decided and dictated by the local school district where you reside. The school district transportation offices will determine, through their plan, how YOUR child will be transported.
2. Entrance into the school during the school day will be limited to necessary professional repair companies and school district and Diocesan educational support staff.
3. Until further notice - school volunteers/visitors will not be permitted to enter the building unless pre-approved by the principal for specific school business. Several safety features are being adapted for our school.
4. School disinfectant cleaning will take place daily, and in several forms, details will be forthcoming.
5. Policies regarding safe protective face coverings/masks for students have been announced.
6. An extremely generous donor, has made it possible for St. Anne School to purchase all required safety and health supplies - we are deeply grateful.
7. Specific procedures and protocols for students who may become ill while in school contained in our approved Health and Safety Plan which was distrubuted to all families and is posted on this website.
I will continue to keep you updated. Your patience and prayers are much appreciated as we work for safe and sound solutions during these challenging circumstances for all of us. Keep safe and well. You are always in our prayers.
Good Bless and Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Karen Bentz, Principal

St. Anne School is pleased to offer the Aquinas Learning Support Program for students with diagnosed learning disabilities.
Age, grade and instructional level appropriate education is offered to students who have been diagnosed with learning differences. Students learn in one-on-one and small group instruction based on their educational needs. They also enjoy class time with their peers and participate in all school events and grade level classroom activities. The Aquinas Program is designed for students who have had evaluation and assessment in the classroom setting, have been tested and evaluated at an early age (K-2nd) when suspected learning issues may arise, and when they have reached a grade level and age that allows for adequate testing of students learning abilities. We are happy to provide as much information as possible about the Aquinas Program. If you believe that your student, through their experience in the classroom setting, may require evaluation and testing, please contact us for additional information.
SPACE IS LIMITED.
