Saints Speak from Mrs. Marshall - 10/15/2026 - We Appreciate Your Partnership and Support
It was great to see so many of you for Parent-Teacher Conferences last week. We appreciate your partnership and support of your child’s education!
Reminder: All School Photo Tomorrow!
Tomorrow we’ll be taking our all-school photo after Mass. All students should wear their “One Body in Christ” t-shirt with uniform bottoms. If your preschool child does not normally attend on Fridays but would like to join for the photo, please bring him/her to Door 1 at 9:15am tomorrow.

Grandparents Day
Invitations for Grandparents Day (Tuesday, November 24th) are going home today so students can hand-deliver or mail to grandparents. If you’d prefer, you can send grandparents this electronic invitation instead or click here to RSVP for them! We hope to have many grandparents join us for this special morning. If you or your child’s grandparents have any questions about the day, please email gpday@ascacademy.org.
Bernie’s Book Bank & Book Fair
If you haven’t already done so, take a few minutes tonight to clean out your children’s bookshelves and donate any gently used children’s books to Bernie’s Book Bank! There are bins at each of the doors when you enter school. This is a great way to make room for new purchases at next week’s Book Fair. The Book Fair will be held Tuesday-Friday next week; students will preview on Tuesday and then have the opportunity to shop Wednesday and Thursday, with last call on Friday morning. As the weather cools and we have more time indoors, it’s a great time to stock up on new books!
Thank You for Supporting Trivia!
On October 2nd, we hosting Trivia Night at ASCA! The event raised $3,315, all of which supports safety and security measures at All Saints. Thank you to Amanda Solomon and her team for planning, and to all who participated!
The event was a lot of fun, and we know it can be even better next year! For planning purposes, we are looking for feedback on the best time of year for Trivia Night in the 27-28 school year. Click here to quickly share your feedback. Thank you!
CogAT Results
Your child’s CogAT results will be going home this week. CogAT measures a student’s general reasoning and problem-solving abilities and is tested each fall at ASCA in grades 3-8. This year we tested 2nd grade as well as a practice to prepare them for the format next year. If you have any questions about your child’s CogAT results, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher.
Halloween
The Halloween celebrations begin at ASCA with Trunk or Treat on Saturday, October 24th, 11am-12:30pm. We hope to see you there! At school, we will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 30th this year. We will not have a school Mass on this day. Instead, we will celebrate All Saints Day with a special Mass on Thursday, October 29th.
On Oct. 30th, parents are welcome to join us for a Costume Parade at 2pm on the Recess Pad, weather permitting. Please see more details for each Academy below.
