We have the ability to text all families, in case of an urgent or emergent situation, through our enrollment portal, Finalsite TM. You should have received a test text on Tuesday and another yesterday informing you of Chess Club cancellation. Our sincerest apology for this mornings delayed text on the school start time. The system defaults to a 9 to 5 window. It has been modified so text messages sent out at 6 a.m. should arrive at 6 a.m.


If you did not receive the texts, please email Mrs. Heins kheins@sncsgh.org.   



St. Nicholas Catholic School will be hosting Stations of the Cross on the four (4) Fridays in Lent that we are in school. We will begin at 2:00pm. Families are welcome to attend.

SCRIP is available Tuesday and Friday mornings from 8:15 - 9:00am in the Parish Hall.
