Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week | January 28 – February 3

National Catholic Schools Week (CSW) is coming up fast! This annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States allows us to focus on the value that Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities, and our nation.

Here at St. Ambrose Academy, we’re celebrating by asking classes (grades) to work together in 3 ways: themed dress or costume days, a Penny War fundraiser, and Game Day (Fri., Feb. 2). We will begin Game Day with a mass at St. Maria Goretti and the rest of the day playing sports and games at Keva Sports Center. More information coming soon regarding Game Day.

Here are the themed dress/costume days:

  1. Mon., Jan. 29: Extra SAA Spirit Day (school colors: deep red and gold)
  2. Tue., Jan. 30: “Dressing Day” – each class will choose a theme based on names of salad dressing (Ranch, French, Thousand Island, Caesar, etc.)
  3. Wed., Jan. 31: Movie Day – each class chooses a movie as their theme
  4. Thu., Feb. 1: Formal Wear Day – come in your Sunday best (see SAA Student Handbook under “Semi-Formal Attire”)

Questions can be directed to Ms. Katie Behrens

This is a required school-day activity for all of the students – please do not opt out unless it is a previously planned absence. Please complete the following form to give your student(s) permission to be taken off campus in the vehicle of a SAA staff member or parent.

Pick up time will be at 3:15pm at St. Maria Goretti.

Please consider chaperoning, we need a lot of volunteer parents. Please indicate on the bottom of this form or go to the SAA sign-up genius. Thank you!

PSAT (Recommended 11th grade)

Per email from Dr. Skemp on 10/5/2023:

“Hello parents of students taking the PSAT,

With just over a week before the administration of the PSAT, I wanted to send again the link to the student guide: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/psat-nmsqt-student-guide.pdf

We are working this week to ensure that all students have internet accessibility at the school and that they are able to download and register on the Bluebook app necessary for taking the exam. I have distributed all the available computers owned by St. Ambrose, so if your student has discovered that the device they brought in will not work (i.e. Chrome books or computers that do not have an updated operating system), please help them to find a device that they can use on Saturday, October 14. Here again are the technology requirements: https://bluebook.collegeboard.org/students/approved-devices#:~:text=You%20can%20run%20Bluebook%E2%84%A2,on%20for%203%E2%80%934%20hours.

Let me know if you have any questions and wish us all luck on this new adventure of the digital PSAT!

Peace and all good,

Mary Skemp”
