RSVP by November 13 (no need to RSVP for Arma Dei students).
 
$2,977,549 has been raised for our new building!
Thank you to everyone who has partnered with us, enabling us to better serve our existing students, as well as open our doors to new students. 

If you haven't yet made a commitment to the capital campaign, please prayerfully consider how you can contribute. If you would like more information about our plans for the future, please contact Mr. Vigil at [email protected].
 
Volunteer
Last year there were thousands of service hours logged. Starting immediately, we will no longer be utilizing our old system (Volgistics). All school volunteers will need to submit an application through the Raptor system. Raptor Technologies is a well respected and secure organization. If you have already submitted your information to Arma Dei Academy for a previous background check you will need to submit a new application through Raptor Technologies. a

Once you are approved, you will check-in as a volunteer (rather than a visitor) when you are greeted by Mrs. Pederson at the front desk. 

Areas that need assistance are the lunch room and library.
