· Family Lunch Accounts - Family Lunch accounts need to be
kept up to date. Notices are in Thursday folders this week if you owe $10 or more.
If the balance owed is more than $30.00, students will receive a sandwich and
milk during lunch until payment is received beginning Monday, October 26th.
According to Federal Policy from the Department of Agriculture, “Schools may
deny a meal to a student who pays reduced or full price and who does not
provide the required payment for the meal.”
Your cooperation with this matter is most appreciated.
· Safe Environment Training – Many of you have completed the required paperwork needed
for background checks. Part of the
process is completing the Safe Environment Training that is found online. If you are volunteering at the school, it is
required that you complete this training every year. Thank you to those of you
who have completed the online training.
Please go to http://stcdio.org/safeenvironmentinstructions/ to complete the training. The video is approximately 11 minutes
long. Make sure to answer the questions
and click “Submit.”

21, Dec. 5 & Dec. 12) from 8 – 9 am at the MAC, 5001 Veterans Dr., St.
Cloud. Kids 4 – 8 years old in Dist. 742
who aren’t currently in hockey may register.
Registration forms are available in the office.
· Spiritwear Day – Spiritwear Day is every Wednesday that school is in session. We invite everyone (students, faculty, staff,
parents) to wear some kind of Spiritwear to school every Wednesday. We have some new zip up sweatshirts in
student sizes as well as hooded sweatshirts. If you are interested in an ASA
sweatshirt or t-shirt, you may check out our supply of Spiritwear! Many of you may have seen our new items for
adults as well. Contact Marissa Bristow,
marissa.bristow@allsaintsmn.org or stop in the office to try on
something.
· Volunteer Opportunity – We are in need of a volunteer that is willing to work at
St. Peter’s independently. It requires
recording & list making of furniture that we are storing at St.
Peter’s. There is some movement of
furniture required in order to take photos of the furniture. If you are interested in helping us, please
contact Amanda Gjerde, Amanda.gjerde@allsaintsmn.org.
All hours will count towards your 15-hour volunteer requirement.
·
School Speak – ASA has
implemented School Speak, a new online school management system. It is a secure portal that allows us to store
information and communicate with our families. Many of you have received the
introductory email to log in to School Speak.
If you haven’t, please contact the office, 251-5295, so that we can provide
the information for you. We would like
all parents to log in and update their profile.
This technology will allow us to provide more information, communicate
with parents and offer useful tools for everyone who is a member of our school
community.
·
Sign Up for REMIND: The St. Cloud Campus would like to
invite parents/guardians to sign up for REMIND. REMIND is a safe, free and easy
