A student who drives to school must register her car and obtain a St. Joseph’s Academy parking permit from the Main Office. Parking passes are issued on a first-come, first-served basis once a student obtains their driver’s license and emails Anna Hotop, Principal of Student Affairs, to request parking registration. 

Parking is not allowed on Litzsinger Drive or in the lots of our adjacent neighbors. Violators may be ticketed by Frontenac Police. 

Please refer to the Parent/Student Handbook for additional information. 

When you receive your daughter's schedule, it will have the information you need to order her books, based on her course load and teachers.

Please check back for more information later this spring on ordering books for the 2025-26 school year. 

For every day that a student is absent, a parent or guardian must call St. Joseph’s Academy at (314) 394-4300 or email mainoffice@sja1840.org to report your situation by 8:00 a.m. If a call or email has not been received by that time, an automated message will be sent to parents/guardians at home/work and a return call to the main office is required from the parent/guardian. 

For more information on planned absences, please refer to the Parent-Student Handbook.

Lunch at St. Joseph's Academy is provided by Food Service Consultants. Students use their school ID to purchase lunch from the cafe.

Online cafe accounts will transfer this year from MySchoolBucks to Meal Magic. Any balance from MySchoolBucks was transferred to the new accounts in August. Check deposits may also be made out to Food Service Consultants and turned in to Jan Wilfred, Cafeteria Manager.

** Meal Magic now accepts deposits directly into your lunch accounts. You no longer need to use Revtrak to make a deposit. You may track both your daughter's purchases and make deposits in Meal Magic. Account numbers remain the same. If you have students in more than one school, you may make one deposit and allocate it to each child.You will need to select the schools.

Please be aware that students with insufficient funds will not be able to make purchases with their ID card. If your daughter's account has an insufficient fund balance on December 1st and/or April 1st, your FACTS account will be charged a $25 NSF fee plus the amount necessary to bring your Cafe account to a zero balance.

St. Joseph's Academy sends out a parent e-newsletter each Sunday during the school year. This newsletter features events, activities, and parent happenings for that week. If you are not receiving the newsletter and would like to, please contact Laura Baxendale at lbaxendale@sja1840.org.

The Angel Parent Organization sends out a monthly email that includes all the ways that parents can get involved at SJA. If you do not receive the email and would like to, please contact Meredith Metzger at mmetzger@sja1840.org.
