We want your student to receive the best educational experience possible, and to ensure that STSJP is a good fit for your family. Cases in which students will require additional resources are addressed on a case-by-case basis. 

Students with disabilities are accommodated when the student can benefit from the school environment and academic programs provided in small and large instructional groups. We are not equipped to provide one-to-one instruction. 

Can I enroll my child halfway through the school year?

Please reach out to our school office if you are interested in transferring to STSJP in the middle of a school year. We will do our best to accommodate your family.

Are parents allowed inside the building during the school day?

Due to Covid restrictions, parents are not allowed inside the school building during drop off, pick up, or the school day in general. Please see our Covid-19 resource page for more information about our policies, as they are frequently changing. 

Cold Weather: Does my child still need to wear a coat even if it’s too cold for outside recess?

Yes, please send your child to school with a winter coat during the colder months. There are several instances in which students may need to go outside and we want them to stay warm. For example, students at our St. Patrick campus will walk across the school parking lot at lunch time, or students may need to walk outside to visit the Bookmobile.
