Important Dates

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE: Dear Parents, As we come to the end of April I want to thank you for all you are doing. We will be sending out registration information for next school year soon. We are meeting as principals with the diocese three times a week discussing important concerns and updates that pertain to our local schools. Mrs. Graham, our Director for Catholic Schools, has informed me that the Superintendents of Catholic schools across California will be meeting this week to start discussions about next year. I will continue to communicate any important information I receive from the diocese as soon as it is made available to me about end of year plans, academic standards for our students, and planning for next school year. I appreciate your patience with me as this information can oftentimes change daily. Mrs. Elizabeth Mar. MESSAGE FROM FR. BRANDON: Please see the weekly reflection from Father Brandon. https://stanneslodi.org/message MORNING PRAYER: To go along with our Virtual Learning curriculum, we wanted to provide you with our Morning Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance. Please use the following video as you see fit for your family. Each of you is in our prayers. https://sites.google.com/a/stanneslodi.org/st-anne-s-school-computer-technology/distance-learning?authuser=0 KINDERGARTEN ORIENTATION: We are working on scheduling a new date for K orientation and will be communicating this to families who have applied for next school year. ACTS CARDS AT HOME: Please see attached ACT’s cards for you to use at home as you see fit. We as a school would love to see how your children are living out the virtues at home. If you could please share with your child’s teacher and Mrs. Mar so we can then share with the larger community in the weeks to come.

LUNCH BUNCH MEET: This is a time for you to come together with your friends and St. Anne's staff for a short, but fun- filled visit. Each meet will have a special activity that you can be a part of. Here are the links for the meets: Grades 3-5 M/W 11:15-11:30 https://meet.google.com/eji-xtwu-zjc Grades K-2 M/W 11:30-11:45 https://meet.google.com/qzb-pjxg-yib Grades 6-8 M/W 11:45-12:00 https://meet.google.com/xfm-kvrz-mju Our aides, campus care staff, and Mrs. Herold will be hosting these meets. These meets are optional. They are an opportunity to come together and have some fun. ROOM PARENTS 2020-2021: Are you interested in being a room parent for your child's class next year? Due to Shelter in Place, we were unable to have our informative mandatory meeting. If you are interested in being a room parent next year, please email Kim Sauseda (kimsauseda@gmail.com) indicating your name and the grade level you would like to work with next year. There will be an informative mandatory meeting via Zoom to answer all questions/concerns the week of May 11th. In your email please indicate which days/times work best for your family schedule. As always, we will try and accommodate the best we can, breaking the meetings up K-4, 5-8 so we all don't have to sit through such a long meeting. Please notify Kim by Friday, May 8th of your desired class. Hope you are all staying safe and healthy, and we look forward to connecting with you very soon. RE-REGISTRATION FORMS: The re-registration forms for the next school year will be emailed out to families soon. PRAYER REQUEST: Please keep the Biegler, Steman, and Scott-Burry families in your prayers at the unexpected loss of a family member.
