| | Letter from the Principal | | |
Dear Families,
We are excited to welcome future Arrows and their families to campus for our Fall Preview Day on Sunday, November 8. This is one of our favorite opportunities to open our doors and showcase all that makes SUA such a special place to learn, grow, and belong.
Throughout the day, prospective families will have the opportunity to explore our campus, meet our students and faculty, and learn more about our academics, athletics, arts, and the many traditions that make the SUA experience so unique. Our student-led tours are always a highlight, giving visitors the chance to hear firsthand what it truly means to be an Arrow!
And, this is where you come in! Our current families are some of our very best ambassadors. If you know a family considering SUA for high school or the Junior Academy, we encourage you to invite them to join us on November 8. There is no better way to experience the spirit, sisterhood, and community of SUA than to see it in action.
Thank you for continuing to share your love for SUA and helping us welcome the next generation of Arrows!

Halloween Celebration
Students may wear a Halloween costume on Friday. Masks, weapons, political, clown, or skimpy costumes are not permitted.

EdChoice Update
As many of you may have seen, an Ohio Appeals Court has affirmed the lower court’s decision that ruled the EdChoice Scholarship Program unconstitutional. While there are no changes to current scholarships or the EdChoice Program in general, this ruling is likely to attract statewide media attention. The lawsuit now proceeds to the Ohio Supreme Court, where defendants of the EdChoice Program are confident school choice programs in Ohio will be upheld as constitutional.
St. Ursula Academy will continue to communicate with our families any updates or changes to the EdChoice Program that we are made aware of. Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the Finance Office.
-Holly Martens, Director of Finance

Red Ribbon Week® (October 23-31), the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started. Below is a link with some tips to help facilitate a discussion with your daughter about alcohol.
