Catholic schools light the way through a faith-based education that supports the whole child in learning about and leading a fulfilled life.  Our students, in turn, will “light the way” to a brighter future through leadership in their communities, businesses and families.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Great Spirits Camp- The name of this year's camp is "Great Spirits Explores Science" and will run July 6th-July 23rd. Children may be dropped off at Saint Anthony between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. and will be transported to Holy Angels Catholic School. Students will need to be picked up by 4:30 p.m. each day. The camp staff to student ratio is just 1:5. Breakfast, lunch and a light snack will be provided. Activities include: Young Audience visitors, field trips, Fun and Fitness and much more. Thanks to a grant, the cost of the camp is just $30 per student. There is a limited number allowed at each site. Please see the school office for additional details and reserve your child's place!

Multiple Choice ISTEP+ Testing- Wednesday was the official end to the final ISTEP+ testing this year. Thank you for encouraging your child and getting him/her to school on time.

IRDA Testing- Kindergarten through second grades participated in the last Indiana Reading Diagnostic Assessment this week. Watch for results to come home from your child's teacher.

The Best Gift- One of the best gifts you can give your child is your support, both in success and in failures. Research has shown that parental support is critical in school success. Here are some of the ways you can support your child when school gets a little challenging:

  • Explain the importance of continuing to learn and improving, even though the school year is coming to a close.
  • Work with your child and the teacher if problems develop in school.
  • Encourage your child to do his/her best each day. Explain how important a good education will be later in life.
  • Take the time to listen to your child. Even if you are busy, make time to listen to what happened at school that day, in the classroom, with friends, etc. You can then help with any concerns your child may have.
  • Continue to build your child's confidence and self-esteem. Tell him/her how you know he/she can be successful through hard work.
  • Always show a positive attitude about the school and school staff to your child.
  • Be sure that you allow time for your child to have some fun activities.
  • Encourage self-discipline, good manners, and positive attitudes at home and at school and enforce them.

Your active involvement in your child's school will pay off for years to come.
