TELEPHONE NUMBERS SCHOOL CLOSURES
There may be times during the year when students are dismissed during the school day. We then proceed to put this information on radio, synrevoice and Twitter. However, if you are concerned that neither of these options is sufficient, then you will need to contact the school with a number that you can be contacted at during the day. We will then make every effort to contact you at this number as well.

LIONS CLUB TV BINGO
The last game of the weekly Thursday night Lions Club TV Bingo for the month of February has been designated for St. Anne’s Academy. Bingo cards will be sent home weekly with students. Parents may purchase cards each week or send in a lump sum of $16.00. Any cards not used need to be sent back to the school. Thank you for your support.
USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES
As much as we try to embrace the new technology that is constantly being developed, there are issues that arise as a result that need to be addressed. Cell phones and MP3/video players such as ipods are not to be used during class time unless given specific instruction by the teacher as part of class work. Picture taking, as well as video and voice recording, are strictly prohibited. If students bring the device to school, they are to keep them in their locker.
As well, we are observing videos, music and games on these devices that are very much age inappropriate. We ask that parents monitor this material before the devices are brought to school.
KINDERSTART 2012
REGISTRATION
Please drop by the school to complete a registration form for your child for Kinderstart. Your child has to be 4 years old before December 31, 2012.
DRAMA
Reminder to all drama students to have their play –“Half Baked Plan” – ready to read on Monday at lunch time.
PERMISSION NOTES
St. Anne’s Academy is a very busy place after school, with children staying for sports, music, games evenings, art programs, etc. As one can imagine, trying to keep track of who stays, who doesn’t, who has notes, who has phone permission, etc. can get really confusing.
Therefore, in order to minimize the possibility of making mistakes with regards to whether a child stays after school for activities or not, from now on we will be accepting notes only from parents/guardians.
If a child doesn’t have written permission, then he/she will have to go home after school as normal. As well, from now on we will use twitter to update these activities.
