St. Joseph Academy News

We Have Faith In Our Students

DID YOU KNOW?

We feel strongly that a Catholic Education at St. Joseph Academy High School is the right choice for parents who want their children to have an educational experience that "prepares them for their future." 

At St. Joseph Academy we believe that Catholic Education is the right choice because it:

  • Is a Faith Based Environment: Our philosophy challenges students to improve the world by sharing Gospel values and living Christ's message of salvation.
  • Fosters Academic Excellence: High standards, strong motivation, effective discipline and an atmosphere of caring combine to foster excellence.
  • Includes Family and Community: Our school recognizes the parents and family as primary educators and joins with them to form a living community of shared visions.
  • Provides a Variety of Extra-Curricular Programs: Our school is committed to the development of the whole student. Extra-curricular activities are regarded as an important part of the total learning experience.
  • Is a Smart Investment: A Catholic School education is worth the cost. It is money wisely spent. Your child's tuition is an investment which pays lifelong tangible and intangible dividends.

Come and explore what we have to offer your young adults. Call Mr. Pat Keane, Director of Admissions at 904-824-0431, ext. 305, for further information, or visit us at www.sjaweb.org.

Volunteer Tracking

All volunteer hours are now logged through Volunteer Builder. Please continue to log-in at the office to receive a badge and record your presence on campus. More information will be provided soon.

Honeywell Instant Alert System

Periodically throughout the school year it will be necessary for CPS to communicate important information to your family in a short time span. We will do this by using the Honeywell Instant Alert System. A phone message will be delievered to your telephone number that you have set up in the system. If you receive a telephone call from CPS, please take the time to stop and listen to your phone message. CPS receives numerous phone calls to the office after we send a Honeywell Alert to your telephone numbers. Download the instructions [PDF] for details on registering and managing your account.

Prosperity Bank and Target Dividends

If you bank with Prosperity Bank, ask your branch to link your account to CPS. Prosperity gives CPS dividends several times a year. Target also sends dividends to CPS yearly. So, if you shop with Target, go into the store and find out how CPS will earn money from the purchases you make with your Target credit card throughout the year. We just received a check from Target for over $800.00. Every little bit helps!

Florida KidCare

Florida KidCare is offering health insurance benefits to children under the age of 19 for less than a trip to the movies. Children have access to preventive care such as regular doctor’s visits, immunizations, dental and vision checkups. Families can apply for Florida KidCare online at www.floridakidcare.org or by calling 1-888-540-5437 to receive an application by mail.

Flu Updates

CPS highly suggests that if your children are experiencing flu like symptoms, to take them to their doctor, just to make sure that it is not the H1N1 virus. CPS is diligently trying to keep the student environment as germ free as possible. If your child tests positive for the H1N1, please advise the school office as this will need to be reported to the Health Department. Please remember that if your child is sick with fever, vomiting or diarrhea, the child MUST be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school.

In addition to the above resources, Florida has a Flu Information Line at 1-877-352-3581.

Illnesses

If your child has missed school due to an illness, he/she is not allowed to attend CPS afterschool activites.

If a student is sent to the office by a teacher because the child has a rash, we must ask that the student have a doctor's stating that the child is not contagious and OK to return to school. CPS has several students who have compromised immune systems and we cannot risk the health of any of our students.

The telephones in the front office are busiest first thing in the morning and at dismissal time. If you child is sick, it is not necessary to call the office, but rather make sure to send a note to the homeroom teacher when your child returns to school. If you know your child has an infectious disease such as H1N1, however, you should call the office to report it as we must call and report to the St. Johns County Health Department.
