Welcome!
The  Saint Agnes Home and School Association Members consist of every parent of our students.  The Home and School Association Committee's goals are the following:  

• The advancement of Catholic education and the welfare of all children educated at Saint Agnes School.
• The promotion of parent-school activities and to increase, on the part of its members, an interest in educational and civil affairs.
• The enhancement of the parents, and teachers’ role in the education of the child.

One of the most important ways of helping our school is by keeping the lines of communication open. We will provide frequent updates about events and news via email, as well as information about ways you can volunteer for various activities around the school. If you have any questions about the school, concerns, suggestions, etc. please email Home and School at: [email protected]. The Home and School Committee President, who will respond as soon as possible, monitors that account.

Thank you for your interest in the St. Agnes Home and School Association; we are
blessed to have you!

Home and School Meetings

In addition to the ongoing activities, there are two specific Home and School  general meetings a year that all parents are encouraged to attend. The topics of these meetings vary from year to year based on the needs of the school community and have included open forums, professional speakers, financial discussions and safety presentations.

Governance
The Home and School  Executive Committee, which governs the association, meets monthly and the notes from the meetings are posted on FACTS. Everyone is encouraged to review these minutes for up-to-date information on the happenings within the school.

Home and School Leadership Positions

Aside from being elected to the Board, there are a number of other leadership positions
available to help support the H&S Association. Some of the main Committees include:

• Decorating
• Hospitality
• Voluntary

We are always looking for volunteers and support as we work to provide a great
experience for the Saint Agnes School Community.

Financial Support
At the start of every year each family pays a flat $150 per family Home and School fee. This was instituted a few years back to try and avoid the burden of ongoing fundraisers throughout the year, like wrapping paper or candy sales. Families are able to have their $150 fee refunded to them, by earning that same amount through our Scrip program. 

"Fun"-raisers

We also support various “fun”-raisers during the year. These are always optional, include an activity or event and are intended to strengthen the school community.  Some of these items include our VIP and Me or Gal Pal parent-child events, the Angel
Shop, and Dine and Donates at various local restaurants. Our "Fun"-raisers include:

• In School Assemblies and guest speakers
• April reading month,
• Catholic Schools week
• Birthday, Christmas and end-of-year gifts for Teachers and Staff
• Faculty breakfasts
• Hospitality Sundays 
• Grandparents Days
• Classroom start up and ongoing supplies 
• Support for all major school events
