NEW INFO

SCHOOL MESSENGER OPT-IN DAY IS TODAY

If you have NOT already opted in to the new SchoolMessenger system (notes were sent home last week), you will receive an opt-in message from PowerSchool this afternoon at 5:00 PM. The wording of the message will include "Diocese of Davenport". Messages sent after opt-in day from SchoolMessenger will be prepended with "YourSchool". St. Paul the Apostle School will NOT display, only the words "YourSchool" will be visible at the beginning of the text to assist families in identifying the origin of the message.

Please opt in to School Messenger so that you are sure to receive any updates from St. Pauls (dismissal changes, etc).
