Parent-Student Handbook

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 welcomed and can be asked in a telephone call or 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.

Fundraising Guidelines

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.


Home-School Association

Our Home-School Association (HSA) is a voluntary organization comprised of parents or legal guardians that promotes the connection between home and school. In partnership with the school administration, faculty and staff, the HSA mission is to support and enrich the educational endeavors of the school, while exemplifying the traditions, standards and teachings of the Catholic faith. HSA responsibilities include organizing community and fundraising events, in addition to supporting school activities such as teacher recognition and school improvements.

Parents, grandparents and guardians of students may join the HSA. Membership is free and strongly encouraged. Meetings are held on a monthly basis during the school year. 


Crisis Management Plan

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.
