Dear St. Anthony Families,

You have been in my prayers during these difficult times of the COVID-19.  Although we would love to be together at school, right now we know that it is best for us to use remote learning. Our teachers are using Google Classroom, YouTube, PDF files, and packets. It will be a new adventure for all of us. Our teachers have been working hard to make sure your children will continue to receive excellence in education. I can’t wait for you to see all that our remote learning has to offer! To make things a little easier we have included the links for each grade level and/or subject area below. Click your grade and it will take you to another  page with all of the pertinent information you will need. If there are any questions, don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher. Remember that we’re all in this together and as our school song says…In spite of all we’ve been through, we’re still standing firm in God, here at St. Anthony School. God bless you and keep you safe.

Sincerely,
Felicia Runnels
Principal
