Parent/Student Handbook Reminder
|
Just a reminder: Parents please discuss the Parent/Student Handbook with your families, and sign and return the "Handbook Acknowledgment Form" at the back of the book!
|
Parent/Student Handbook Correction!
|
Attention Parents! Page 8 of the Parent/Student
Handbook contains incorrect information regarding cheating and test taking
rules. The correct statement on page 8 should read: "In grades six through
eight, any student found cheating or plagiarizing in any area of the curriculum
will receive a "zero" for that assignment, test, or project and the conduct
grade will be lowered by one number.

Back to School Night
|
Back to School Night for grades K-5 is Thursday, September 3 at 7 p.m. We will begin promptly at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium and then you

From Mrs. Denise Ageeb, Girl Scout Leader: Attention mothers of kindergarten and first grade girls! We are in search of a mom or moms who would like to lead a Daisy Girl Scout group at St. Anastasia. There have been many parents interested in signing up their daughters for Girl Scouts at this age level, but we need a leader. Meetings are once a month after school. To become a leader only requires a few hours of training. Please contact me if you are interested in having fun with Girl Scouts! I can be reached at geebea@bellsouth.net or at 878-0151. Thank you!

Teacher Update
|
Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts for our teachers this year. Here's an update on a couple of them:
- Mrs. Cheries' daughter, Christie, will
be getting the care that she needs. The family was praying to get approval from her insurance company to see a doctor from Shands Hospital and their
requests and prayers were answered. Mrs. Cheries, a former St. Anastasia 2nd grade teacher, appreciates your prayers and support.
- Mrs. Forget, Pre-K teacher, also appreciates your prayers and support. During the first week of school, she broke her wrist. She now has a cast on her hand and, under doctor's orders, will wait until next week to return to the classroom in order to let some of the swelling go down. She really misses her class and can't wait to get back to them!
We are truly blessed to have the wonderful teachers and staff we have at St. Anastasia Catholic School. We have the best parents, too! So thank you, parents, for all you do for our teachers and school, especially for your prayers!
