NEW
NEWS
Bussing Begins When?
District 742 will begin
bussing next week, beginning Tuesday, September 6th. If you have questions regarding bussing,
please contact District Bussing at 253-9370.
School Speak Needs You
School Speak
is a school online management system that ASA uses. It is a secure portal that allows us to store
information and communicate with our families.
If you are new to All Saints Academy or have
never logged onto School Speak you need to create a password. Please contact the office, 251-5295 so that
we may send you instructions via your email. Due to security issues, the email will only
stay in your inbox for a few days. For those who have used School Speak, the
username & password you had last year is still the same.
We would
like all parents to log in and update their profile, too. This technology allows us to provide more
information, communicate with parents and offer useful tools for everyone who
is a member of our school community.
Need Childcare on No School Days?
Please note that Funzone, our after
school child care, has a few spots still available for Fri., Sept. 2nd
. Please call or email ASAP to reserve a
spot for your child, sc.funzone@allsaintsmn.org or
320-237-2463.
Annual St.
Peter’s Pancake Breakfast in support of ASA
On Sunday, September 11th, The Knights of Columbus will
be hosting a breakfast at St. Peter’s Church. The cost is $7/person, 5
and under are free. All proceeds
will go towards tuition assistance at ASA! Each year we ask St. Cloud parents/families to help working
this breakfast and/or selling tickets. 8 (eight) tickets
will be sent home in this Thursday folder in an envelope. The complete cost of
the ticket can be applied towards your fundraising requirement of $350/child. You must turn in the money and unused
tickets to the office to get fundraising credit.
Volunteer
at the breakfast! If you are new to the All Saints Academy family, this is
a good time to meet people by working the breakfast. The students help too –
it’s a great way for them to provide service to their community.
All
hours go towards your family’s 15 volunteer hours/year. We're using SignUp.com (the leading online
SignUp and reminder tool) to organize our upcoming SignUps.
Here's how it works in 3
easy steps:
2) Review the options listed
and choose the spot(s) you like.
3) Sign up! It's Easy - you
will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp.com.
Note: SignUp.com does not
share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email
address, please contact Marissa Bristow and she can sign you up manually.
Free/Reduced Hot Lunch Program
Parents, it is not too late to send
in applications for free and/or reduced hot lunches. You can pick up an
application at the office. When students receive free/reduced lunches, our hot
lunch program receives a reimbursement from the government, benefitting our
lunch program. If you have questions regarding this program, please contact
Mrs. Bristow at 251-5295 or marissa.bristow@allsaintsmn.org.
We Need Playground Supervisors
Our goal is to have two parents who have
children in PreK – 6th grade, on the playground every day to assist
school staff with the recess period.
Recess is 11:00 am – 12:25 pm. There will be a form in your packet at Paper
Work Night that will need to be completed.
For the added safety of our children we ask that
all families volunteer for recess supervision 2-3 times per year. A schedule
will be available for families to sign up.
If you find your schedule doesn’t allow you to volunteer for Recess
Duty, you may opt out by paying $50 which goes towards our paid staff.
When Are Parent
Meetings?
All Parent grade-level meetings will be held Tuesday,
September 13th. We invite everyone to gather in the
cafeteria for a short school-wide presentation at 6:00 pm. Grade
level teachers will be making their presentation twice during the evening in
homerooms at 6:30 & again at 7:00 pm. This will give you an
opportunity to hear all the specifics for each grade level that
evening. More information about the evening will be in next week’s
parent newsletter.
