Parking Lot Drop Off / Pick-Up
Parents and guardians are reminded when dropping off and picking up your Saints in front of school you should do so in the outer drive. Please do not use the inner drive that is closest to the school as it is reserved for the school buses. Also, you are reminded not to turn illegally into the parking lot from Parkside Drive across from the Greek Church. Those exits are one-way going out. Thank you for helping to keep our Saints safe.
Attendance Notification
If your child will be late for school in the morning or is absent for the day, please contact the Main Office as soon as possible by calling 610-374-8361 and then press #2. Absent students should bring in an absence note when they return to school. The Main Office will call parents whose child is marked absent in the morning with no call to school.
If your child needs an early dismissal, please send a note to the Main Office for the early dismissal with the time and reason. Thank you for helping us with these important daily attendance tasks.
Asbestos Notice
In compliance with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), an inspection for asbestos containing building materials was performed at each of our schools in the Diocese of Allentown, including Berks Catholic. A copy of the inspection report is on file in the Main Office for your review any time during normal school hours. In the event you have questions or concerns, you may contact Mr. Petruzzelli or the diocesan asbestos coordinator, Mr. David Wong.
Canvas Reminder for Saints
All Saint Canvas users must log into Canvas with their school email address moving forward. If Saints have forgotten their email password, they should enter a support ticket at support@berkscatholic.freshdesk.com.
Dress Code
Please help us with dress code at home. Families are reminded that the dress code is in effect on Day 1 of the school year. Please make sure your Saints are ready and looking good. You can refer to the letter sent home this summer by Mr. Jones, Dean of Students. Hair, piercings, etc. should be in accord with dress code regulations on the first day. We don’t want this to be a distraction or struggle as we start the new school year. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

Bus Transportation
According to Pennsylvania law, non-public school students are entitled to transportation to non-public schools by their public school district. ACT 372 forms were mailed home to all BC families in April. Bus forms that have been submitted were forwarded to the public school district in which your student resides. Your public school district will be sending you your students’ busing information (if they haven’t already). If you do not receive your busing information by next week, please contact your public school Transportation Department. A list of school Transportation Departments is available on the BC website under Campus Info. Click on the Forms tab and scroll down to Transportation. To date, if your student’s ACT 372 form has NOT been returned to BC, the public school district cannot guarantee transportation for the first week of school. If you have not returned your ACT 372 form and require transportation for your student, please contact your public school district immediately for assistance. If you have any questions, please contact Transportation Coordinator, Mrs. Jones, at sjones@berkscatholic.org.
