DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
In an effort to provide a safer dismissal process, beginning Monday October 10th – students not picked up by 3:15 will be brought to the main lobby near door #1. This will allow for better supervision of all students. Below is a detailed description of all dismissal procedures.
2:55 – North and South Car Riders Released (Any student not picked up will return to the lobby near door #1)
3:10 – Late Dismissal and Walkers (Students who wait for the Roncalli dismissal or those students who walk home)
3:15 – Any student remaining that is not picked up will be brought to the main lobby near door #1
3:20 – Any student not picked up will enter the aftercare program and wait for pick up
We hope this procedure clarifies where students will be for pick up if their ride happens to be late and will ensure that all students are properly supervised until their ride arrives.
Thank you for your assistance!

Parent Handbook Now On-Line
The St. Jude School Parent Handbook has been added to the school’s
webpage. A School Handbook Acknowledgement Form will be
coming home and I ask you to review, initial, sign and return to
school with your son or daughter. This verifies that you know where
the handbook can be found.Included on the acknowledgement form is a section informing
parents that the Guideline for Catholic Schools on Respecting
Persons has been added to the handbook as well. Please take some
time and review this guideline. In an effort to address bullying and
any other activity or behavior that negatively affects a person’s good
name, reputation or personal safety, this guideline was written by
the Office of Catholic Education and given to schools to be
incorporated into handbooks throughout the Diocese.
St. Jude School is committed to establishing an environment where
all students, teachers and adults are treated with dignity and
respect. Students who make derogatory, slanderous, hostile, or
threatening remarks, whether it is done physically, verbally, or
electronically through the use of a home or school computer, phone,
IPAD or other electronic media or by remote access during school
time or after hours, will be held accountable for their actions and
may face disciplinary action by the school.
Of course negative behaviors must be addressed and students held
accountable for their actions. However I am very encouraged and
proud that in most cases our students conduct themselves in a
manner that reflects our Catholic values. Please take the time to
review the handbook guidelines with your child and affirm the many
positive behaviors we witness each day.
