School Communications Resources – August 8, 2023
School Communications Resources 
As we approach the start of the school year, we wanted to send a resource guide for information on school communications. The goal of this email is to assist our community and includes helpful information on the following:

  • Online Email Archive (weekly Insiders, Insider Alerts, etc.)
  • School Calendar - how to download and sync the calendar
  • Weekly Insider Resource Section
  • Website Quicklinks
  • IRIS Alert Notifications and Use
  • School Social Media channels
Email Archive
The school maintains an online archive of emails (weekly Insiders, Insider Alerts, and other school event emails) from this school year. The emails are listed in reverse chronological order, so the most recent emails are listed at the top of the page on the Email Archive.

The email archive also contains a link to an Email Resource instructional document to assist you in safelisting emails from the school (sent via Constant Contact) in your email provider.

School Calendar
In addition to the published one page calendar, the school also uses Google Calendar as an online calendar resource to either view online, sync with your phone calendar, or use with the Google Calendar app. Here are some helpful resources for keeping up with the school calendar.

Calendar Resources Document
This help document contains information on how to sync the school’s Google Calendar with your Android or iOS device (phones or tablets). It is highly recommended to download the Google Calendar app in either Android or iOS to have the best experience in viewing the school calendar.

Calendar Links




Weekly Insider Resource Section
At the top of each weekly Insider email sent on Friday, we include a Resource section that includes links for easy navigation to our most frequently visited pages on the website (and most frequently asked for information) including links to the school Website, Calendar, Email Archive, FACTS, Faculty & Staff Directory, Handbooks, Cafeteria information, the online Spirit Store, and the Parish.
Website Quicklinks 
A quick way to navigate to some of the most frequently accessed pages on our school website is through our Quicklinks. Easily accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices Quicklinks includes easy navigation to:

  • Calendar
  • Email Archive
  • Faculty & Staff Directory
  • FACTS Parents Web
  • Cafeteria
  • FAQ
  • Online Spirit Store
IRIS Emergency Alerts
The school will notify staff and families using IRIS (Immediate Response Information System), allowing the administration to email and call constituents within minutes. For inclement weather, school delays or closures, or crisis management purposes, it is imperative that your information is always up-to-date with the School Office. Information can be updated through
FACTS ParentsWeb. Depending on access to technology, staff will also attempt to post alerts to the website, send emails through Constant Contact, and post updates on our social media pages; however, IRIS should be considered the primary mass notification protocol for emergencies. An IRIS alert test will be sent to all families in August. A reminder and more information will be sent closer to that time.
Social Media
St. Cecilia Catholic School has three social media accounts to help communicate school news, events, and updates.


Please subscribe to these social media pages for frequent updates about what is happening at school, community events, and upcoming important information for our community.
Our mission at St Cecilia Catholic School is the ongoing Catholic formation and education of the whole child in mind, heart, and spirit, in preparation for an adult life of commitment and service.
