St. Anne School Family Newsletter

Dear St. Anne Parents,

We welcomed back our in-school students yesterday. Whether in-person or D.L. our teachers are committed to offering our students the best education possible. Thank you, St. Anne teachers!!!! In looking at future opportunities for students to return to in-person instruction, the next date students can return to in-person is Tuesday, Feb. 16.

As we finish our planning for this year's upcoming Catholic Schools' Week, I would like to thank all of you for your continued support. Our Catholic Schools' Week will involve activities for all our students...at home and in school. Look for more information in next week's newsletter. We have many fun activities for everyone to enjoy!

The second quarter report cards will be taken home by all in-school students this Friday, January 22. Families in K-5 who are continuing with Distance Learning will have their report cards included in their Friday Take-Home Envelopes. Parents whose children are in grades 6-8 who are not in school can pick up their chlid(ren)'s printed report card in the entrance to the school on Friday, January 22 or parents can go on to MSP and review their child's report card starting on Friday, January 22. In any case, I want to again acknowledge the outstanding work that our teachers are putting into preparing and implementing their daily instruction with their students. Thank you, St. Anne School Teachers!!! You are "...simply THE BEST!"

Please remember in your prayers Johnny Jen, grandfather to Christopher Schaefer, 6th grade and Simone Schaefer, 2nd grade. Let us keep Mrs. Amy Schaefer and all her family in our prayers during this difficult time.

Remember also Mrs. Alioto's brother and longtime teacher, Mr. Jerry Stenson, who died a few weeks back after a brief illness. Mr. Stenson's funeral Mass took place on Monday. Please remember Mr. Stenson, Mrs. Alioto, and all those in her family who grieve their loss of a beloved brother, husband, and father. May his soul and the soul of Mr. Jen, rest in peace.

Our school will be taking school pictures on Monday, February 18 for students in Preschool - 7th grade. Graduation pictures will be taken on Tuesday, February 19. We have a new photographer working with our school this year, Mugsyclicks. I welcome them to our school and know that they will do a wonderful job capturing our students' best pose!!! More information will be coming home in the next few weeks.

Students that returned to in-school learning on Tuesday were given the Parent/Student packet for parents/students to read sign and return. Please return the signed forms no later then Friday, January 22. Thank you!

Simply a reminder...students returning to In-School Learning are required to have a "Daily Health Screening Form" filled-out upon entering the school. A copy is included with this newsletter for you to download. Thank you!

If you have a child who will be starting Kindergarten next year, please fill out his/her application and send it to Mrs. Finnegan as soon as possible. If you know of a parent who is looking for a great school for his/her child(ren) next year, please send our tour schedule on to them. For questions, call the school office at (415) 664-7977. Remember, YOU, our parents are our best advertisers! Thank you.
