ILEARN testing for grades 3rd – 8th began yesterday, Tuesday, April 23rd and will continue for two weeks. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00 A.M. and continue throughout the entire day. It is very important that your child arrive on time and is prepared for testing at 8:00 A.M. If a child is tardy, they will sit in the office until they can return to class. The child will then need to make up the test that was missed. If a child is absent the test must be made up on returning to school. Please do not schedule appointments during the next two weeks. Also, per the IDOE website, students may NOT wear smartwatches or Fitbits during the ILEARN testing window.

Today, your oldest child will be bringing home an envelope that contains the Registration Packet for the 2019-2020 school year. This packet contains a set of informational forms such as school calendar, Financial Policy, and much more. The remaining set of forms need your attention (such as gym uniform, sweatshirt, etc.) and must be completed and returned to school by July 19th. There will be an early bonus for those families who return the packet by Friday, May 17th. If your family returns the completed packet on or before May 17th, your children will be out of uniform on Monday, May 20th and Tuesday, May 21st. The school Supply List is not included in the packet. We will send home the school supply list at the end of the year and it will be posted on the school website.

St. Anthony School will be hosting our annual student talent show on Tuesday, May 14th.

The New Albany Deanery Fine Arts Fair competition is coming up after Spring Break. This is a perfect time to sharpen your pencils to draw, fluff up your brushes to paint, heat up your glue gun to construct a 3-D piece, and sharpen your focus to capture an unforgettable photograph; all to create award-winning pieces for St. Anthony School. Entries will be accepted from Grades 3rd & 4th, 5th & 6th, and Grades 7th & 8th. Remember when entering your artwork that presentation is key to winning. If you glue or tape your 2-D art on poster board or place in a frame, the judges will see your art so much better. The same is true for photography when you put it in a frame. The entries and filled out form are due to Mrs. Roehm at School on Tuesday, April 23rd. Forms are coming home today in the Bear Facts or can be picked up in the Art room. Mrs. Roehm will deliver the pieces to Providence High School. Thanks for stepping up and sharing your special talents with everyone.
