Saint Anselm Newsletter Week 13

Report Card Information

Report cards went home on Wednesday. We need 100% of those envelopes to be signed and returned ASAP.

Newsletter Readership

A survey link was included in both the October 23rd and October 30th newsletters. By following the link and completing a brief survey, families could earn their child a free-dress day. I would like to thank the 30 families who took the time to participate! Your students will receive a free-dress pass for November 13th.

For those who may have missed the opportunity, we hope the reminder serves as encouragement to keep an eye on future newsletters. We would love to see even greater participation next time! After all, who doesn't appreciate a free-dress day? 😉

Red, White and Blue Day

For veterans day, we are having a red, white and blue day. For $2 students can wear patriotic clothing, or red, white, and blue. No politics please. The money raised will be donated to Wounded Warriors.

Honors Mass

After mass on Monday, we will honor those students who met the criteria for honor roll. We are very proud of our honor roll students.

If you are picking up your student early, please make sure that you contact the office at least 30 minutes prior to pickup time. It is wonderful if you contact the teacher, but more important that you contact the office.

Our lost and found is continuing to grow. Please put your student's name into their school clothing so that we can get it back to the correct student. While this will help going forward, it does not help these poor lost articles of clothing who just want to go home.

We are in need of volunteers. Here are some early ways to earn those volunteer hours. Please do not wait until the last minute to get your volunteer hours in, as life tends to get in the way during the spring.

Lunch and recess. We are in need volunteers for lunch and recess. This is from 11:30 AM to 1 PM daily. If you are interested, you can call the office or email either bowens@saintanselmschool.org or psteven@saintanselmschool.org to volunteer.

Student Clubs: If there is a club that you would like to be the coordinator of, please contact the office. The time spent on this does count towards service hours.

I have had several parents ask me if grandparents or aunts and uncles can do service hours. The key is that they need to have a background check and have taken Protecting Gods Children.

Just a reminder that all families are required to work 8 service hours during the year and 2 shifts during the festival. Any of the 8 hours not completed will be shifted to fair hours. Hours not worked by the end of the fair will result in a charge of $35 per hour not worked. Also, hours worked for concessions for sports, or grade level specific fundraisers do not count toward the 8 hours for the year as those fundraisers are designed to pay for camp or the 8th grade trip.

Just a reminder that in order to work with students, or volunteer, you will need to be up to date on Protecting Gods Children and your background check.

If you are not sure where you stand with Protecting Gods Children, you can either check by logging into your Virtus account, https://www.virtusonline.org/virtus/index.cfm? or reach out to psteven@saintanselmschool.org.

We are required to have an up to date background check for all parents who wish to volunteer or work with children. The standard background check is done online and will cost you nothing. Please email bowens@saintanselmschool.org or psteven@saintanselmschool.org for more information.
