This Student/Parent Handbook has been prepared to further parental understanding of our school policies and procedures. We ask that you read it carefully and keep it handy for ready reference. Further questions are welcome and can be asked in a telephone call or a personal visit to the school after an appointment has been arranged. The faculty of SJWCA hopes to assist you and to provide the auxiliary instruction necessary for your child’s fullest development. We ask for your cooperation and support and we anticipate great success.

In order to help meet our annual fundraising goal, all students have a minimum fundraising requirement of $250. This fundraising requirement can be met through regular fundraising events such as the Read-A-Thon, Candy Sale, Holiday Sale, and many other opportunities. Students will be credited dollar-for-dollar on every dollar raised through traditional fundraising options. Students can earn dollar-for-dollar credit by participating in the $40 N.U.T. Day Pre-Sale or through direct donations. Direct donations can be made year-round on this website.
The Home Academy Association (HAA) is a collaborative group of dedicated parents, guardians, (yourself included!) and staff working together to support our school community. We organize events, facilitate communication between families and the school, and engage in fundraising activities to enhance our children’s educational experience. Our goal is to foster a strong, supportive community where all students and our school can thrive.
In the event of a school evacuation, Holy Name Church will be our first evacuation site, Bishop Ford (K280) will be our second location, and Immaculate Heart of Mary Church will be our third location.
