Service Hours Update 9/12/22 |
The service hour requirement has been reduced by 4 hours. Tuition plans A and C are no longer required to perform parish service hours. Instead, we encourage you to volunteer at the parish and a maximum of 4 hours will count towards regular school service hours.
30 hours school + 4 hours Fall Fest + 2 Red Tie Benefit hours (when applicable) = 36 service hours total per school year.

Tardies and early pick ups |
If your child is late because of a doctor or dental appointment, please bring a note to the office from the professional for an excused tardy.
If you pick up your child early, please sign them out at the front desk. If someone other than the parent picks up a child during the school day, we need a note signed and dated by a parent giving that adult permission to take the child out early. This is the case even if they are on the carpool and/or the emergency list. Thank you for understanding that this is to keep your child safe!

Popsicle Fridays are back! Be sure to send your child to school with $1.00 for a cold treat that will benefit the 8th grade fundraising efforts for the DC trip. | | |
When reporting your child out, please state the reason for the absence. Thank you for being a partner in keeping everyone safe!
You can report your attendance to Karen Conley at [email protected].

Make authentic connections with other women - Refuel and refresh | Learn more about God
The Touching the Divine Bible study focuses on qualities of Jesus revealed through the Gospel of John. This study draws us into a deeper, loving relationship with Jesus as
we reflect on His life and personality. Saint John referred to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” and as we study, John will teach us how much Jesus loves us and how His love is the true satisfaction of our souls.
Join us at our OPEN HOUSE: October 6th, 2022, 7pm-8:30pm at St. Philip The Apostle Parish Center, Landa Room
