REMINDERS

The Archdiocese of Atlanta requires a signed Parish Verification Form to be on file for our Catholic families to receive the Catholic tuition rate for 2024-2025. This form needs to be completed annually.

Fill out the Parish Verification Form. Only one form is needed for each family.
Submit the form to your parish for the Pastor's signature.
Be sure you give your parish enough time to have your form signed and returned to SPX by the deadline.
Be sure you give your parish enough time to have your form signed and returned to SPX by March 15, 2024, or you will be charged the Non-Catholic tuition rate for 2024-2025.
You can confirm if we have received your Parish Verification Form by checking PowerSchool in the “About Me” section (see graphic below). PowerSchool will be updated weekly.

Attention all current 9th grade parents!

You should have received an email from the Academics Office about Social Studies placement for the 2024-2025 school year. Because most freshmen do not take a social studies course, students are placed into sophomore World History based on their English I placement. Students interested in changing levels or applying for an AP course must do so by February 26. Details about this process and application information can be found HERE.
