September 2022

Dear Parents,

As we begin to settle back into a rhythm and routine of school, we are having important conversations about school safety. One step we will soon be taking is to include text alerts as part of our emergency plan. We will first test the system with SJA employees, then student cell phones and lastly, parent cell phones. Before the first practice text is sent in September, we will communicate complete details including how to opt out of receiving the alerts from SJA. Text communication will allow for timely notification of critical information. As a reminder, we follow East Baton Rouge Parish and the Diocese of Baton Rouge for weather-related school closures. We will continue the practice of sending SJA alerts by phone, email or text with closure information that is specific to our school and students.

It was great to see so many of you on campus for Back-to-School Night. I hope you enjoyed meeting your daughter’s teachers and hearing more about the educational experiences she will have this school year. If your daughter begins to experience difficulties in her classes, we ask that you encourage her to first have a direct conversation with the teacher. If she needs additional support, she should meet with her grade-level counselor. The Learning Center is available to students in need of addition academic support during lunch and after school in the areas of English, math, science and writing. For more information about the services provided through the Learning Center, please contact Director Jill Abadie at abadiej@sjabr.org or (225) 388-2313.         

SJA’s standardized test preparation program for the ACT and Pre-ACT will begin in September. Our faculty is committed to dedicating class time to this important work at all grade levels. The program is designed to cover a multitude of areas, including coping skills for text anxiety, tips and strategies for test takers and practice tests. Juniors and seniors are strongly encouraged to consider an additional prep course beyond what is offered during the school day. We will continue to advertise these programs in the monthly newsletter. You may also contact Dean of Curriculum and Instruction Aimee Urdiales at urdialesa@sjabr.org or (225) 388-2215 or your daughter’s counselor for program specifics. 

We will no longer livestream our school masses. Parents are invited to join us in person on September 30 at 9:45 a.m. for our next school mass in the Academy Student Center.

I love what I do, I love who I do it with and I love that we do it together in the name of our patron, St. Joseph.  

Sincerely,

Stacia B. Andricain
Principal

ACADEMIC PREP WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS OF FRESHMEN
Transitioning to high school academics can sometimes be a challenge for incoming freshmen and their parents, as well. Melissa Brocato, director of LSU’s Center for Academic Success, and Jill Abadie, director of the SJA Learning Center, will host an academic prep workshop for parents of freshmen with tips on study skills, organization and brain science. Lunchtime and evening sessions will be available on Tuesday, September 13, 12-1 p.m. in the Mother Alice Hall community room and 6-7 p.m. in the Academy Student Center (new gym). Parking for the lunchtime session is available in front of Mother Alice Hall on the street or in the half-circle driveway. Parking for the evening session is available in any of our campus parking lots. 

BIG SIS/LITTLE SIS PROGRAM
On Wednesday, September 14, freshmen “little sisters” will meet their senior “big sisters” as part of SJA’s traditional Big Sis/Little Sis program. The event will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. The program’s purpose is to welcome freshmen to our school. Each freshman will be randomly matched with a senior group to foster new relationships with their peers and establish connections with their new classmates.

Several SJA-sanctioned activities and events occur throughout the year, all on campus: Candlelight Ceremony, Sweet Tooth Day, Hat Day and Senior Mass flowers. Seniors may invite their little sisters to join them in other activities, as well. While we want to foster relationships between the girls, parents must make final decisions as far as allowing their freshman daughters to participate in non-sanctioned events. We encourage parents of both seniors and freshmen to use the online Student Directory to communicate with one another if your daughters plan events outside of school.  

Questions? Parents of seniors should contact senior class moderators Alexandra Arceneaux (arceneauxa@sjabr.org), Aimee Cronan (cronana@sjabr.org) or Emily Peavy (peavye@sjabr.org). Parents of freshmen should contact freshman class moderators Allie Mitchell (mitchella@sjabr.org) or Brooke Haigler (haiglerb@sjabr.org).

Seniors will then take a photograph with their grandparents and lead them on a tour of campus. Grandparents should look for “SJA Event” signs posted around campus which will indicate parking spaces. Grandparents are asked to RSVP by September 15 to Assistant Director of Mission Advancement Cydney Morris at morrisc@sjabr.org or (225) 388-2270.

AFTER-SCHOOL RULES AND REGULATIONS
After dismissal, students remaining on campus must be in designated areas* only (Dining Hall, courtyard or library), where an afterschool monitor is present. Students may remain in or in front of the Dining Hall or in the courtyard from 2:50 p.m. until 4 p.m. At 4 p.m., an announcement will direct students to make their way to the library to sign in. Students may not leave campus after dismissal to roam the neighborhood. The library is open until 5:30 p.m. Our security officer is on campus until 5:30 p.m. each school day. 

If a student is not picked up by 5:30 p.m., this will be reported to Dean of Women Christina Myles, and a plan will be made. After-school library rules can be found in the School Handbook under the Students and Parents portals. Please direct questions to Linda Hall at halll@sjabr.org or (225) 388-2420.

*Once the Fife Student Commons opens later this fall, this space will be added to our after-school program. We will share additional information as it becomes available. 

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
As responsible stewards of the earth’s resources, we feel strongly that electronic communications should replace paper communications whenever possible. Please note that if you choose to unsubscribe to any electronic message you receive from us, you are unsubscribing to all electronic communications. 

Please be reminded that we must have one valid, regularly checked email address on file. If your email, phone number or physical address has changed since last time you updated our records, please let us know. Questions should be addressed to Assistant to the Registrar Stacy Rennhoff at rennhoffs@sjabr.org or (225) 388-2318. 

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
SJA generally follows the same procedures as the East Baton Rouge School Board and Diocese of Baton Rouge. School closures due to weather and other circumstances are announced via our phone messaging system. If your phone number has changed since you last updated our records, or if you would like to add additional phone numbers to those we call, please contact Assistant to the Registrar Stacy Rennhoff at rennhoffs@sjabr.org or (225) 388-2318.

To improve the efficiency of our phone alerts, we ask that parents add St. Joseph’s Academy – (225) 383-7207 – to their contacts and to listen to voice messages before hitting their phone’s call-back button. When we receive a large number of calls from parents before they listen to the voice message, it results in busy phone lines. Thank you for your cooperation as we strive to keep you informed.

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
As a non-public school, St. Joseph’s Academy is not affected by the state law which requires parents to make an election at the beginning of each year to grant or deny consent for the school to collect your daughter’s Personally Identifiable Information and disclose it to the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA) for TOPS and other financial aid or to the state’s colleges and universities for admissions. We will share this information unless you request through your daughter’s grade-level counselor that it be withheld.

CUSTODY INFORMATION
St. Joseph’s Academy abides by the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) with respect to the rights of parents and, in the event of divorce, the rights of custodial and noncustodial parents. In the latter case, absent a court order to the contrary, the school will provide the noncustodial parent access to academic records and other school-related information regarding the student. If there is a court order specifying that no information is to be given, it is the responsibility of the custodial parent to provide the school with a copy of the court order. We do not need the complete court order, only the part dealing with custody. Please direct questions to Principal Stacia Andricain (andricains@sjabr.org; 388-2240). 

ILLNESS, DOCTOR VISITS, TARDIES
If your daughter is sick and will not attend school, please email Student Life Coordinator Cristina Benigno at attendance@sjabr.org by 8 a.m. If a student becomes ill during the day, she must report to Nurse Marie Vukovics’ office, and her parent will be called.

Most routine visits to the doctor should be scheduled outside of school hours. If a parent knows in advance that a student must arrive late or leave early for a doctor’s appointment, parental permission must be emailed to the Student Life Coordinator at attendance@sjabr.org. When the student returns to school, she must present a note signed by the physician to the Student Life Coordinator in order to receive an excused absence. 

Students are expected to be on time for every class. A student who arrives on campus after the 7:28 a.m. tardy bell must report to the Student Life Coordinator’s office for a tardy slip before entering class. An infraction will be issued upon the third unexcused tardy and for each additional unexcused tardy to school or class.

Counseling Center

The Counseling Center provides students with resources and support they need to be successful. Grade-level counselors support students during all four years at SJA. The Counseling Center collaborates with teachers and administrators to identify and discuss students who may need additional assistance and to determine best practices to reach all students both academically and socially. In addition, counselors meet with every student at least twice a year to discuss college and career readiness. Two full-time college advisors assist students with scholarship and college applications. A wellness educator designs programs in support of SJA’s social emotional wellness program.

Learning Center 

The Learning Center provides free-of-charge assistance to any student needing extra help with math, science, English or writing. Also offered is academic counseling. Peer tutoring in foreign languages is provided by members of the National Honor Society and Beta Club. These student-led sessions are offered between 3 and 4 p.m. on Wednesday in the library.

REQUIRED SERVICE PROGRAM
As a reminder, our service policy states that freshmen and sophomores are required to complete 15 hours of service during the 2022-2023 academic year while juniors and seniors must complete 20 service hours. 
 
To support and encourage service as a regular part of the lives of our students, we recognize those girls who go above and beyond the required service hours. Students completing 50 hours of service in one school year will receive special recognition at the end of the year. Students who complete 50 hours of service all four years are recognized at the Honors Convocation for seniors in May. 
 
All service hours must be done through a non-profit agency or through a for-profit business, with prior written approval, that serves those most in need. Service performed through a for-profit business must be non-clerical in manner. Tasks such as filing, answering the phone, etc., will not be permitted as part of the service program. Visiting with patients in nursing homes or hospice facilities does not need prior approval. All service hours must be done outside of normal school hours. Donations of any kind, including Sticker Sacks, are not eligible for the service program. However, SJA may offer a schoolwide donation opportunity for service hours. SJA reserves the right to limit the number of hours earned on mission trips; hours earned on SJA mission trips will be determined and applied after the trip is complete. This will ensure students receive accurate credit for the number of hours served.
 
The Freshman and Sophomore Service Directory and the Junior and Senior Service Directory can be found on MySJA and the Service Hour Project Moodle page. These directories include approved agencies. Students may only participate in opportunities outside of those included in the service directories after receiving written permission via email from the Assistant Campus Minister.

Service hours are tracked electronically through MobileServe. All theology classes will be visited in the first six weeks of school to set up accounts. Students will also receive information about logging their summer hours at this time.

Assistant Campus Minister/Service Coordinator Chelsea Colomb is available during all lunch periods to answer questions about service and to help students with service entries. Students may also email her at colombc@sjabr.org or stop by the Campus Ministry office in Mother Alice Hall, room 206.

Service hours are due Friday, March 31, 2023. Please direct questions about service to Assistant Campus Minister/Service Coordinator Chelsea Colomb (colombc@sjabr.org; 388-2221).

SJA ANNUAL FUND

The Annual Fund meetings with parents were a success and were met with a lot of positive feedback. We thank our parents for their support and enthusiasm. We have already started receiving pledges and matching company donations. Let’s keep the momentum going. Our commitment deadline of September 30 is right around the corner.  

Our ask is that you partner with SJA and participate in the Parents Annual Fund, no matter the size of your gift. Our goal is to reach 100 percent parent participation for the first time in the Academy’s 154-year history.
 
The Annual Fund’s success is due to those like you – one thoughtful donor making one generous Annual Fund gift in one year. It’s the collective support of our donors which helps to afford so very much for the young women of St. Joseph’s Academy today and in the future. Remember that you, as one, can make a difference. Every gift – no matter the size – has a lasting impact.

We hope everyone is settling back into school and looking forward to some cooler weather on the horizon. It’s hard to believe that the Sticker Shop has been up and running online for two years now!

New Parents: Don’t forget that your girls can visit the Sticker Shop during their lunch periods on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays to pick up pre-purchased items or to shop. And they are now allowed to come inside the store.

In addition to uniform sweatpants, sweatshirts, PE shirts and athletic shorts, we offer a large selection of merchandise to help you get ready for fall sports (and that cooler weather), including sweatshirts, blankets, hats, stadium seats, 2 new types of water bottles and, just in, an SJA tote bag.
