🚧 Carnegie Entrances Construction Update 🚧 🚧 Carnegie Entrances Construction Update 🚧

We would like to thank everyone for your continued patience, understanding, and cooperation as the City continues work on the Carnegie roadway improvement project affecting our parish and school entrances.


Suggested Route

During these weeks of construction, we strongly recommend using the Sunridge Heights Parkway entrance whenever possible. This entrance should provide the easiest and most convenient access to our parish and school while work is being completed along Carnegie Street.


Safety Reminder

Drive slowly and use extra caution when entering and exiting the parish and school.

Follow all posted traffic signs and directions from construction crews.

Watch carefully for pedestrians, especially our students, families, and parishioners.

Allow extra travel time, particularly before Masses, school, and parish events.


Construction Schedule Week of August 24

Utility adjustments and raising of utility structures will take place. This work will require temporary closures similar to those experienced during previous phases of construction but is expected to last only one week.

Installation of the new traffic island at the intersection of Carnegie Street and Green Valley Parkway will also occur. This work is sufficiently away from our entrances and is not expected to impact access to the parish or school.

To minimize disruption, this phase has been intentionally scheduled after the start of the new school year.


We appreciate your patience and cooperation as these important improvements are completed. Thank you for helping keep our parish and school community safe during this construction project.

This week's Life Skill is "Caring: - to be concerned for the feelings and well-being of others." Are you a caring person? Let's answer these questions … Are you sensitive to other people's feelings? Do you treat people with kindness? Are you generous? Do you help others who are in need? Are you ever hurtful or mean to others?


Let’s do our best to show that we are kind and caring. Have a great week!

Parent Volunteer Information❗ Parent Volunteer Information❗

With the new school year fast approaching, we would like to reach out to all new parent volunteers. Volunteers are the heartbeat of our school community, helping us provide enriching programs, special events, and wonderful experiences for our students. Whether you have a lot of time to give or just a little, we would love to have you involved!


All parent volunteers must complete the background check and Safe Environment clearance process required by the Archdiocese of Las Vegas and St. Anthony of Padua School before volunteering on campus. Please complete the CMG Connect online training before scheduling your fingerprint appointment. Additional information can be found on our school website:

https://www.sapsaints.org/parents/volunteers


Once you have successfully completed the free online training course, please schedule an appointment to have your fingerprints taken. Fingerprinting is completed in the school front office and typically takes approximately 20–30 minutes. Please be sure to bring a valid government-issued photo ID to your appointment. To schedule your fingerprint appointment, please sign up using this link: Fingerprint Sign-Up


Thank you for your willingness to serve our school community. We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to partnering with you throughout the school year!
