Car Lane 1, Lane 2, and Lane 3 - Which one is for your family?
We are excited to have all of our Saints back on campus! Please carefully review the parking lot procedures to make sure our students are safe, and making sure the parking lot flows smoothly!
Each family's lane route will be determined by your youngest student attending the school and will be used daily for both pick-up and drop-off. Also, the following lane assignments will be used for the entire 2026-2027 school year. All procedures are detailed in the Parent/Student Handbook on pages 27-32.
The Life Skill of The Week
We are excited to begin a new school year together with renewed energy and enthusiasm! As we continue to grow as a community of faith, we remain committed to helping our students develop strong character, make thoughtful decisions, and live out the values of our Catholic faith each day.
One way we support this is through our Life Skills. Each week, students will focus on a different life skill and have opportunities to practice it both in and out of the classroom. These lessons help build character, strengthen relationships, and encourage students to put their faith into action through their words and choices. We will begin the school year by focusing on Accountability as we work together to create a welcoming, respectful, and caring school community.
Accountability is: taking ownership of decisions and choices you make. Being accountable for your actions looks like:
- being dependable so people know they can count on you
- keeping your word
- doing something to the best of your ability
- being accountable for your behavior
- accepting credit when you do things right and acknowledging your mistakes
This is going to be a great first week of school - let's show everyone how we can be accountable!
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!

Community Day of Service
We invite our entire Saints community to join us on Saturday, September 12, for our 3rd Annual Community Day of Service!
This special day is an opportunity for our students, families, faculty, staff, and parish community to come together in service, putting our faith into action while making a positive impact throughout our local community. Whether you are a returning volunteer or participating for the first time, your time and talents will help make a meaningful difference.
