We are gearing up for another fantastic year at St. Anthony de Padua Catholic School!

---

Keeping it all straight at the beginning of a school year can be a challenge - especially if you have more than one student! Please use the checklist below to keep track of what you'll need to do and turn in before the first day of school.

 

Sunday, August 15th after the 10:30am Mass

You can drop off all school supplies and required forms, and pick up school uniforms at our Back to School Open House on Sunday, August 15 right after the 10:30am Sunday Mass. You can even visit HASA's Uniform Exchange table, where you can drop off used St. Anthony uniforms (new logo only please, w/ no stains or holes) you don't want anymore, and take with you what you do want. Shorts and pants are also welcome.

If you missed the supply drop-off day, please send your student's supplies and completed forms on the first day of school in plastic bags, and staff will be available to help carry them into the building. 

 

• Classroom supplies: Please bring these items to the school during Open House or students may bring them on the first day. Those students who purchased SchoolKidz school supply kits through HASA will receive their kits in the mail. Download & print the supply list. 

 

• Uniforms: Students in grades PreK-8 should come in their uniforms the first day of school. Uniform code & ordering.

 

• Face Coverings: We will begin the school year with all students wearing masks while inside the classrooms. This precaution is temporary and will be continuously revisited by the executive board as we monitor the infection rate within St. Joseph County. Teachers who volunteer proof of vaccination will not be reuired to wear masks. The school will be exploring options to provide students with more space during lunchtime when masks cannot be worn.
