Phone, Voice Mail, & Homework Information
- Parents may leave a message for any teacher by dialing 451-1626 and accessing the St. Andrew School answering machine. Teachers will listen to their messages daily, and parents may expect to receive a return call. Please use this service for important messages or concerns. The teacher's voicemail number is the same as his/her homeroom number.
- All teachers are placing homework information on their individual webpages. Click "Teacher Voicemail/Homeroom Numbers" below. Select the specific room number. Input your last name and Parish I.D. number.
NOTE: Students are responsible for recording daily homework assignments, project due dates, and test dates in their school planners. Teachers may need to change due dates or test dates. The teacher homework pages will kept as accurate as possible; however, due to possible technical problems or other accessibility issues, the student planner is still considered the primary mode of communication of homework and test information.

Thursday Folder

Additional Thursday Folder Information
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent-teacher conferences are conducted twice a year. The master schedule for the year notes the specific dates for these conferences. Conferences are based on the academic and classroom needs of the individual student. Should parents feel the necessity for a conference at any other time, they should contact the classroom teacher. A conference time that is suitable to the teacher and the parents will then be arranged.
