News and Updates...

Second Semester Schedules


Students should refer to PowerSchool (or the PS app) for their finalized second semester schedules, which will start tomorrow, January 6th.


Note:  If you have trouble seeing your schedule in PowerSchool, please make sure you log out and log back in to the app.


Schedule Change Requests:

For those wishing to request course changes in the first few days of the semester, please pay attention to the process below.


As in the past, you may request changes for academically motivated reasons which require signatures from your teachers, parents, and administration before the change can be made by the school counselors. As a reminder, the only reasons for changes are as follows: 


  • Failed a 1st semester course
  • Do not have 8 classes in my schedule
  • 1st and 2nd semester course levels don’t match
  • Missing a prerequisite course


Change request forms must be turned in by Thursday, January 9th at 3:00pm. Changes will be finalized in student schedules by Friday, January 10th after which time additional changes cannot be requested. 


We appreciate your consideration for these change request procedures and look forward to a successful second semester, 2025!

The Saints Shop will resume regular hours starting Monday, January 13. These regular hours are normal school days from 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM. If school is not in session or dismisses early, the shop will not be open.

FACTS Applications

The FACTS online application for STO opened on January 1st, with the deadline

being May 5, 2025. The application has been simplified! Parents must upload their 2024 federal tax return and other required schedules or tax documentation. These can be uploaded at any time during the application process so please get your application started as soon as possible. STO awards will be applied to tuition before ESA which could leave more ESA dollars in your students ESA/Odyssey account to use for future tuition. 



Families who applied last year will receive an email that the 25-26 applications are open. If families applied through FACTS last year, they should use the same username and password.
