St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School provides
e-mail addresses for staff, teachers, and other persons on this website
in order to facilitate better communication within our school community.
Please observe the following guidelines when using e-mail:
- While the transmission of electronic
correspondence is nearly instantaneous, staff members and teachers
may not be able to read and or respond to your message immediately.
- Teachers, in particular, will not generally be
able to check and/or respond to e-mail during the school day. As a
result, please do not use e-mail for communication of an immediate
nature, such as “Is my child out of uniform tomorrow?” or “Can you
help me with my child’s homework tonight?” or “My child will be
absent today.”
- Teachers will have the ultimate jurisdiction
over what e-mail contact from parents they consider is appropriate
and will communicate their individual policies to parents where
necessary. E-mail contact between parents and teachers is not
intended to supplant the personal responsibility that students have
of communicating their homework and other important school-related
messages to their parents.
- Please be aware that staff and teachers may
not be available to receive your e-mail at all times throughout the
year. Teachers and office staff are generally available during the
school year and are generally not available during summer vacation
and on school holidays and other days when school is not in session.
Only the principal is generally available year round.
- Parents must supervise their children’s use of
e-mail as they would any other area of computer and Internet usage.
Consequently, the e-mail system is primarily for use by adults.
- Current and prospective school families are
highly encouraged to use the e-mail system, but please note that
many questions may be answered immediately by exploring the internal
content and outside links provided throughout the website. Parents
should always read through all printed material sent home with their
children first, as these papers may provide immediate answers as
well.
- These guidelines are subject to change
depending on the experience learned through the continued deployment
of this website. Please check back for future revisions.
