IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Hot Lunch Program: We will continue to provide the hot lunch program which will be offered every Wednes-
day. We are encouraging parents to order and pay online as this is the most efficient method for our volun-
teers (www.stanthony.hotlunches.net). However, parents may also order online and pay by cheque. We are
not accepting cash payments. Thank you to our volunteers who make this possible for our students!
We will also be offering a pizza lunch on Thursdays. More information to come.

Milk Program: The milk program will begin Sept. September 17. Orders can be made on CASH ON LINE
ONLY by term. It will be available this term from September to November.

Communication: It is important that communication be kept open between home and school. We welcome
back to our school our secretaries, Mme Michienzi and Mme Moore. We now have School Messenger to re-
port your student’s absence or lateness. You may call the school if there is a change in your students
Schedule. Many of our teachers have their own classroom web page which you can access from our school
web site. It is also helpful if you can provide your child’s teacher with a current email address. If your child
has an allergy or other health issue that we should be aware of, please let your child’s teacher know.

Agendas: All students from grades 1 to 6 will be provided with an agenda/planner. This planner is used as a
daily communication tool and is an important link between home and school. The cost of these planners is
$7.00, can only be bought on CASH ON LINE. If you require assistance signing up contact the school.

Student Verification Forms will be coming home with all students in the coming days. We ask that families
return these forms to the office as soon as possible– with or without changes. It is important for the office to
have up-to-date information for all of our students. All families are reminded to sign students in and out
when arriving to or leaving from the school during school hours. The sign-in book is located in the main
office .Families are reminded that St. Anthony’s is a nut-free school.

Parent Volunteers: We welcome parents who volunteer their time to supervise on a class trip, as-
sist with hot lunches, and help out in other ways. All parents need to have a current police check
on file at the school in order to volunteer. Police checks and updates can be handed in to Mme Wil-
liams in the office.
Allergies: It is very important that the school is aware of any allergies or medical conditions. If
your child requires a puffer, Epi-pen, medication , or has a medical consideration we need to be
aware of, please contact the office. We will require a medical information form to be filled out and
signed by your physician, explaining steps to be taken.
Boomerang Lunches: Students are encouraged to bring their lunches and snacks in re-useable con-
tainers or to take their wrappers home. This will help us to keep our school green!
Safe Schools: All parents and visitors must report to the office, in accordance with the Board’s Safe
School Policy. Please do not go directly to your child’s classroom or portable.
Emergency Procedures: We will be having fire drills, lock drown drills and hold & secure drills
throughout the fall so that students know what to do in case of an emergency.
