All lunch charges are invoiced weekly via STS as an incidental expense. ​​

Ideally, family vacations should be planned around school holidays and closings so that your child's education is minimally disrupted. We DO NOT give work to a vacationing student ahead of time. All work will be assigned upon students return.

No, you do not have to be Catholic to attend Saint Andrew Catholic School. We are open to educating children of all faiths with the understanding that your child will be fully exposed to the Catholic teachings.
