Letter from the Principal |

Dear SUA Families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We enjoyed seeing so many of you at the Electric Run on Sunday night. The weather was perfect, the girls were full of excitement and energy, and the parents were able to connect with each other. It was a great kick-off to the school year!
Tomorrow is our first day of classes beginning at 10:00 a.m. We will celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary with an all-school Mass. Students should wear their uniform shirt and tie. Due to the warm weather, dress uniform sweaters are not required.
The beginning of the school year is exciting, but can also be chaotic—especially in the parking lot. Please follow the direction of the parking lot monitors and pull all the way forward in the lane so that we can move as many cars as possible safely through the drop-off line. If you are able to drop off your daughter before 7:30 a.m. and pick up her after 3:30 p.m., you will avoid waiting in line.
We are looking forward to an exceptional school year with our abundant enrollment, dedicated faculty and staff, and amazing updates to our building. We can't wait for you to experience SUA!
Soli Deo Gloria!

Online Back-to-School Forms
Based on parent feedback, we are returning to FinalForms this year. Parents will only need to complete back to school forms one time using this system. Back-to-school forms are available on FinalForms.
All forms must be completed and signed before the first day of school, August 15, 2024. Forms that are not required, such as Grandparents’ Celebration, must still be signed even if you do not fill it out.
If you are not sure you have a FinalForms account with St. Ursula Academy, please contact Director of Technology Mark Miller at mmiller@toledosua.org. Mark can verify if you have an account and let you know your login information. If you do not have a FinalForms account, instructions for creating your account are on the Technology Resources page of our school website.

Appointments
For early dismissals because of appointments, etc., please send a note with your daughter before school starts so that her dismissal can be recorded in PowerSchool well before the appointment time.

Please wait in your car at that door to pick her up. Doctor, dental, etc. notes are required following all appointments.

Monthly Angela Reflection
AUGUST 2024—Each day provides us with the opportunity to start again with a new perspective, a new idea or vision, another chance to reach out to others, a time to look at something familiar and think outside the box so that the “familiar” has a new look—a chance to re-invent or re-create.
