News & Information

Attention Parents! New Attendance Reporting Procedure

We have a new attendance reporting procedure for when your child is absent due to illness, appointments or tardiness. Click here to view instructions.

Please remember to use your Parent PowerSchool (PS) Account.

Sorry, this does not work in the PS app so you will have to use the website. It's very simple and will streamline attendance reporting for you and for the attendance office. You can also find the instructions on the NDA website under the Parents tab.

Student PowerSchool Passwords

New this summer, PowerSchool is requiring students to change their passwords.

In order to prepare for the first day of school, please encourage your student to log into PowerSchool, by clicking here, to make this change, using at least 8 characters.

Note: This is easier to do on a computer than the app. New students will receive student passwords at Book Pick-Up next week.

If you have PowerSchool login questions, please email Gina Fredrick at gfredrick@notredameacademy.com.

Dress Code Reminders

It is important that all students have the necessary uniforms to begin the school year. Uniforms are available through Lands’ End. If you are planning to order uniforms from Lands’ End, please plan extra time before the start of the school year to allow for delivery of your uniforms. This time of year, Land’s End recommends planning for this extra time as they fulfill orders for all of their schools.

As members of one community, our policy encourages modesty, neatness, and humility, not drawing attention to the individual.

Please refer to the full Uniform, Dress & Grooming Code before purchasing clothing and sending your student to school.

Parking Permits and Priory Parking Lot

As our HVAC construction approaches completion, we are anticipating that there may be some final detail work completed while school starts. Therefore, the Priory parking lot (on the north side of the property) will be closed to students to start the school year. We will conduct our additional parking permit lotteries when we can confidently move any additional construction parking to our faculty and staff lot.

When it reopens, the Priory parking lot will return to being a permit-only lot. We appreciate your patience as we conclude this very important project and prepare for the return to school.

BYOD - Bring Your Own Device

All students must have a laptop or Chromebook with a working camera, microphone, and earbuds/headphones for video conferencing and academic purposes. iPads/tablets are not acceptable BYOD devices.

Summer is a great time to start (or continue) working on service hours. All students should be logging volunteering hours towards their service award. Sophomores should also be working towards the 15 hours required in social justice while juniors should also be working towards the 15 hours required in service. Don't forget to log them into x2Vol right away!
