All Saints Academy, St. Cloud Campus

Weekly Parent Newsletter
December 18, 2014

Every Thursday school is in session you will be receiving a link to the “Weekly Parent Newsletter”. Please read carefully. This will contain All Saints Academy, St. Cloud news for you and your family.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

There will be no Weekly Parent Newsletter on December 25, 2014 and January 1, 2015 due to the Christmas Break.

1. Support Place of Hope - 6th grade is taking up a collection at our mass TOMORROW, Dec. 19th, for Place of Hope. We encourage parents to help their child earn some change by helping out at home.  Anyone wishing to write a check, may write it directly to Place of Hope.  After mass the 6th graders and their teachers will be heading to Place of Hope to volunteer for the day and it would be nice if the school community could show their support for the homeless and those in need in our community through this effort.

All Saints Academy thanks our “Pearl of Wisdom” Sponsors. 
Today we’d like to thank Michelle Kenric Hair and Spa for helping to make progress like this within our programming and curriculum.

2. FunZone Registration Over Christmas Break – If you find you are in need of care for your child over Christmas Break, or your child just needs some time away from home with school friends, please feel free to contact FunZone at 320-237-2463 or at sc.funzone@allsaintsmn.org. We cannot guarantee a spot will be available, but you are welcome to contact us about a spot for the following days: Dec. 22, 23, 29, 30, 31.

3. All Saints Academy Behavioral Policies -  At All Saints Academy, we’ve been working to add some additional tools to our behavior policies: the Behavior Framework, Saintly Behavior notice, and Behavior Reflection. These tools will be put to use when faculty, staff, and students return from Christmas break.
Our goal is to interrupt and discourage unacceptable behavior and just as importantly, recognize and celebrate positive behavior.
There are two pieces that you could potentially see coming home: the blue slip for "Saintly Behavior”, and the pink slip for the "Behavior Reflection".
Teachers and staff will be working together to encourage and recognize positive behavior. As students make positive choices, teachers will give out the blue "Saintly Behavior" slip.
The pink "Behavior Reflection" will be given out to those children who are not displaying the attitudes and behaviors expected of students here at All Saints Academy. Parents are required to sign and return the "Behavior Reflection" to school. 
On the back of each pink and blue slip you can find the All Saints Academy Behavior Framework and the list of expected attitudes and behaviors. Teachers and staff will circle/highlight the attitudes and behaviors for each incident.
Please review the material and contact me with any questions you may have.

4. The Yearbook Needs Your Help – The yearbook committee would like Fall and Winter sports team pictures for the yearbook. If you have submissions please e-mail them to Mary Orth at mary.orth@allsaintsmn.org.

5. Lost & Found - Are you missing any sweatshirts or jackets? How about a pair of mittens or a hat? Please come visit our Lost & Found bin and table in the hall just outside the office. We have a lot of things that are unclaimed by our students which have been gathered in our lunchroom, playground, gym and hallway. Please take a minute and look through the items we have.
