SECURITY PROCEDURES
Parent or Visitor Campus Visits
Parents are not to drop-by their child's classrooms.
Parents are to always check in the school office immediately
when visiting the school grounds during school hours. Student items (lunches, sweaters, books, etc.) are to be dropped off in the school office and will be delivered to students.
For the safety of the students, no one may be on the campus without permission from the school office. All visitors are to sign in and sign out in the school office and will be issued a visitor's pass. Visitors needing to use the school's restrooms may ask for the key to the adult bathrooms in the school office.
Early Pick-up of Student
If you need to pick up your child before dismissal, please come to the school office and sign him/her out. Your child will be called to the school office where he/she may be picked up. The office will ask the teacher to send the student to the office when the person picking up is at the school.
Security Cameras
The school has a camera system to insure the students and faculty are in a safe environment. The cameras are placed at the front entry gate to identify those requesting entry, the outside of the school building to observe the playground and lunch area, and in the first floor hallways. Parents and guests should buzz at the gate and wait for entrance. If several parents arrive at the same time they should enter together, however, if you do not know someone at the gate, ask them to please buzz in separately. Please do not ever ask a student to open the gate for you!

New Year's Resolution: Pray the Rosary
At St. Philips, we have two opportunities each week to pray the rosary: Mondays after school (parent and student led) from 2:10-2:30 pm and Thursdays after drop off (parents and grandparents) from 8:05-8:25 am. We pray for all the private intentions in the school prayer jar by placing the jar in front of the tabernacle when we pray. We encourage you and your children to place your prayer intentions in the jar and welcome you to join us whenever you can for this powerful prayer time in the church. Please don't hesitate to contact Julie Schnieders (jjschnieders@yahoo.com, Mimi Stolpe (mimi_collins@yahoo.com)or Tracy Luiso (tracyluiso@gmail.com) with any questions. Curious about the rosary and our Blessed Mother?
