St. Anthony of Padua

October is the month dedicated to the Holy Rosary—a time to honor Mary and reflect on the life of Jesus through prayer. Thank you, Father Vic and Father Joseph, for praying with us and blessing our Rosaries. In the words of Father Vic, “The school that prays together, stays together.” We encourage all of our families to take a few extra moments each day to pray the Rosary together at home.

This past week, we recognized Digital Citizenship Week with a special assembly highlighting on-line responsibility and safety. This opportunity provided students with reminders of how to stay safe online, make thoughtful choices, and represent themselves positively in the digital world. As technology continues to play a significant role in learning and communication, we are proud to see our Saints growing into responsible and respectful digital citizens. Throughout this school year we will continue to emphasize the importance of digital literacy and citizenship at school and beyond.

Honor Flight is a national organization that transports American Veterans to Washington DC to honor and celebrate them for their service and sacrifices for our freedom. Last Sunday, our Saints were shining examples of gratitude showing up in full force to welcome home our nation’s heroes. Way to go, Saints—thank you Mrs. Bullen for organizing this opportunity and teaching our students the importance of honoring those who served! 💙

This week's Life Skill is Initiative: to do something because it needs to be done. Don’t rely on others – take the first step – without reminders from your parents or teachers.

Show others that you can take charge and when you see that something needs to be done - be sure to follow through! Have a great week!

We are proud to share that our Saints took first place as a team at the Bishop’s Golf Tournament!

Congratulations to our talented golfers for their hard work, dedication, and teamwork. Way to go, Saints! ⛳💙

Student Insurance

We want to make you aware that a $15.00 Student Insurance fee per student has been charged to your FACTS Incidental Billing account. This fee covers school-provided insurance during the school day, field trips, athletics, and other school-related activities. Please note that this charge was due on September 30, 2025. If you do not have Auto Pay turned on or have an issue with your financial account, FACTS will not try again to take this payment. You must go into your Family Portal and make a manual payment or call the FACTS Parent Help Line at 1-866-441-4637.

New Family Development Fee

We want to remind you of the New Family Development Fee for families who are new to St. Anthony of Padua School during the 2025–2026 school year. This is a one-time family fee of $525.00, which will be billed to your Incidental Billing account on October 15, 2025, and will be due by December 1, 2025.

Families may choose to:

· Make a one-time payment through the Family Portal, or

· Submit smaller payments through your Family Portal, or

· If you have Auto Pay turned on, then the payment will be taken on December1.

This fee helps support vital initiatives such as advertising, marketing, communications, and the enhancement of our academic programs and facilities. It ensures we continue to provide a rigorous, high-quality education in a state-of-the-art environment.

Please Note:
It is easy to confuse this with the $500 annual enrollment fee that is charged to all students each year. However, the New Family Development Fee is separate and has not yet been charged to any accounts.

If you require an extension or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Business Office at 702-914-2175. We are happy to work with you. Thank you for your continued support and partnership!

Yearbooks are currently available for $55. Don't delay, order your yearbook today! Click on the image below to place your order.
