Dear Saint Anne’s School Community,
It seems like yesterday we were writing reopening plans and hosting virtual town hall meetings as we prepared to reopen Saint Anne’s School. This was certainly a long road, but one worth traveling. Saint Anne’s has been blessed to be open and provide in-person instruction five days a week, all the while offering quality virtual learning options when necessary.
Despite the many challenges, Saint Anne’s School has made some tremendous strides. Here are a few highlights:- Offered 1:1 Technology for students grades K-8
- Introduced students to Computer Based Testing
- Executed virtual learning for students who were unable to be in-person
- Initiated the i-ready assessment and saw significant growth in Math and ELA
- Began a technology program to introduce coding
- Provided Academic Intervention Services for more students than in previous years
- Safely began recess and after school activities
- Collaborated with our building staff to ensure the safety and sanitation of the building
- With the help of the HSA and benefactors, we were able to replace Smartboards in 9 classrooms
- Implemented Rosetta Stone Language Program for Spanish instruction
- Reinstated our school lunch program
- Implemented and utilized PickUp Patrol as a resource with student health checks, drop off, and pick up
These are just some of the ways in which we have grown this year at Saint Anne’s School. As a result we have seen an increase in our enrollment for the upcoming school year! None of these successes would be possible without the prayers and support of our Saint Anne’s families.
Our Home School Association is truly a blessing to us at Saint Anne’s School. Through their support we have been able to not only maintain our standard of education, but were able to push its limits. Through their hard work and dedication we were able to upgrade and provide technology to enhance student success throughout this pandemic experience. We thank our HSA!
In a special way, we want to acknowledge the retirement of three members of our school family. Mrs. Carol Ferrara, Mrs. Angela Gricco, and Mrs. Marianne Riccobono have dedicated their professional careers to Catholic education, particularly here at Saint Anne’s. In that time, they have seen many students and their families pass through these doors. We wish them a happy retirement!
As this academic year comes to a close, please let me extend my gratitude to the Saint Anne’s Community. Being your principal is truly an honor. I am blessed to work with such gifted faculty and staff in a partnership with families to provide for the faith, educational, and formative needs of our students. I wish you all a safe and healthy Summer!
God bless,
Mr. Paul Morisi, Principal
