Good grooming is important as it promotes healthy habits and enhances one’s appearance.

All children are expected to adhere to the school’s dress code. The dress code is in effect from the first day of each school year.

Catholic schools are an example of simplicity and a united community. School uniforms help us recognize and reinforce these important principles.

The principal has the authority to make the final decision on all matters related to the student dress code.

Volunteer
A school is only as strong as the partnership that is created between home and school.
At St. Vincent de Paul Parish School we believe in our mission of educating our students in a diverse and challenging environment. To this point, we look to parents for their leadership in providing their time and talent to aid in our efforts to reaching this point of excellence. Every family is encouraged to make a meaningful commitment of time and energy to St. Vincent de Paul Parish School. There are many opportunities to volunteer: assisting a teacher, room parent, chaperoning field trips, fundraisers, organizing, handy-work around the school, tutoring, reading to students, etc.

The Diocese of Cleveland set forth the mandate for volunteers to be VIRTUS Trained. St. Vincent de Paul Parish School will meet these mandated requirements to promote and protect the dignity of our children.

Each volunteer must have the following information completed and on file in the school office:

1. Virtus Training (Protecting God’s Children)
   • Complete Virtus bulletins on a monthly basis.
2. Background Check completed
3. Code of Conduct signed

This program provides a range of activities conducted within a Catholic Environment, under the direction of certified teachers. The program complements the philosophy and values taught by both the family and the school.
Our Aftercare program is available from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day that school is in session.

• Parents who have not used Aftercare yet must complete Registration Forms for their children. Please contact the school office if you are interested.
• Please use the weekly sign-up form (available HERE in the Aftercare room or school office) to tell us which days each week that you intend for your child to stay at Aftercare. These forms must be turned into your child’s homeroom teacher on the first day of the school week – each week. One form for family is fine. Families will be billed through the FACTS system. We compile a list of all children staying in Aftercare and distribute to each teacher.
• Payment is as follows: $7.50 a day per child, regardless of how long they stay in Aftercare.  Failure to keep current on Aftercare payments will result in the inability for your family to use the program.
• Our Aftercare program is staffed each week with consideration of how many children are signed up on the first day of the school week to use it. With this in mind, at any time during the week, if you need to make a change, please send in a note with your child to his/her teacher. We request that you only call the office to make changes to your Aftercare schedule when absolutely necessary – it is difficult to get the message to all those involved at the end of the school day.

When the need arises to close the school due to inclement weather or unexpected circumstances, each family will be notified by phone via our All-Call system.

Additionally, local television stations, FOX Channel 8, WEWS Channel 5, and WKYC Channel 3, will be notified to broadcast our closing. Parents may find it helpful to sign up online with the individual television stations for their “text alert” systems.

This is a parish run organization for students in grades 3-8. Please visit the parish website for information. www.stvincentchurch.com

Families that live in the city of Akron must contact Akron Public Schools to have your children ride the school bus.
