Dear Saint Anne Families,

I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer vacation. The faculty and staff of Saint Anne School are working hard to prepare for the 2019-2020 school year. We know how exciting and challenging a new school year can be for both children and their families. To help ease this transition I'd like to provide you with some information on upcoming events. Participating in these events is a great way to get to know the teachers, staff, and fellow parents/caregivers who form such a wonderful and caring community around our children. You are also encouraged to contact the office with any questions. As a reminder the classroom supplies lists can be found here.

Dear Saint Anne School Parents,

I am very pleased to announce the hiring of St. Anne's new principal, Abigale Carpenter, beginning this 2019-2020 school year. Most of you are already familiar with Mrs. Carpenter, as we welcomed her last year as out fifth grade teacher. Mrs. Carpenter's qualifications for her new role include a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership from Ohio Dominican University, with her Principal's licensure. In addition, her extensive experience as a lead teacher for six year will be invaluable as we advance the programs of our school. Mrs. Carpenter has been a wonderful addition to St. Anne, and her continued contributions as Principal portend to be outstanding.

Principal's Corner

We met with a few of you, along with our teachers over the past few weeks. During this transition, we are prioritizing a few things:

  • Being prepared for next school year
  • Having open lines of communication
  • Ensuring transparency in our budget

Fun Fare proceeds to be used for summer projects ($30,000 plus donation of $4,000)

  • Privacy screening will be installed on the fence along Bonita Avenue.
  • Playground equipment will be repaired or replaced as needed.
  • Carpets in PreK and Kindergarten: looking at carpets in all classrooms to see which one needs replacement and making a schedule to replace several of them over the next few years.
—Cathy Thompson (Superintendent) and Kathleen Daulton
