Testing Our Catapult Connect Notification System
We are going to conduct a test of Catapult Connect before the snow flies. Catapult Connect is the system we use to notify parents of a change in schedule. We have chosen Monday, November 25 around 3:30 pm for the test. School is out and no one would be alarmed thinking they missed a message.
The message delivered will be somewhat like this:
"Hello, this is Sr. Carol from Saint Joseph School. As we published in the Sunday Notes, THIS_IS_A_TEST of our notification system. You should have received an email, a phone call, and a text. This is the way we contact you in the event of a weather-related delay or closing the school for any emergency. At this time there is no emergency and this concludes the test."
RaiseRight
Remember that RaiseRight (formerly known as Scrip) cards are available for purchase in the office. Shopping for the holidays or the Parish's Giving Tree is a great way to support the school.
