Mrs. Becker's News and Notes for the week of Sept. 9, 2019
St. Anthony Catholic School celebrates each individual as a unique child of God, provides a safe, Christ-centered environment that promotes cultural diversity, academic achievement, and challenges each of us to serve the school, parish, and community.
More than a school, we are a family.
Our 2019-2020 School Theme is Amazing Encounters with Jesus!
Parent Meetings 6:00-7:30 pm
- September 24th will be for 5th - 8th grade
- September 26th will be for Kindergarten - 4th grades.
These meetings will be general classroom meetings not individual parent conferences. If you need to schedule a conference, please contact the individual teachers.
Text Message-TEST
Wednesday we will be testing the text messaging function of our communication system. If you do not get a text message from SACS-FL check that you do not have unknown messages blocked in your phone settings and check your contact information in Renweb (FACTs SIS).
Depending on how you listed your cell phone number in Renweb (FACTs SIS), you may or may not have reeceived this important messages. If you listed your cell number as your home/primary number and not as a cell phone, you likely aren't going to receive text messages from the school. It is critical that all families have their cell phone numbers appropriately entered. This will ensure that you are receiving the latest communication from the school.
Please email Mrs. Becker at pbecker@saintacs.com with any questions.
