Fr. Joe Moniz St. Philip the Apostle Educational Fund

Fr. Joe served St. Philip the Apostle Parish for 20 years as our pastor. To honor his legacy of supporting Catholic education, we established an endowment in his name at the Catholic Community Foundation of Los Angeles to support tuition assistance and the educational needs of all St. Philip the Apostle School students. As this fund grows, our school will greatly benefit from financial stability in the future years. 

During this year's Red Tie Benefit on March 25th, you will be able to contribute to this fund. We understand that not everyone is in a position to donate, but we greatly appreciate your prayers that this fund continues to receive support. You can also donate today by mailing a check to the school office or by going here.

Our annual art show is just around the corner! The students love to see their artwork on display to show off to their special friends and family. It takes many dedicated hands to make this happen. We are going to ask that if you volunteer that you are able to stay for at least 4 hours, all day would be for the best. It's a fun day and you get to know parents from all grade levels. It's a real community builder! It's a great way to earn hours. Set up day is Thursday, May 11th from drop off till we are through depending how many volunteers we get. We will also need volunteers for Monday, May 15th for the take down, but not as many. Please email: mrenn@stphiliptheapostle.org to sign up. Thank you!

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the Falcon Invitational a success! Many of you went above and beyond by filling in the vacant spots, volunteering for field events with minimal knowledge and even working the entire day. Your extra support did not go unnoticed. Another winner not announced on event day was Coach Susan Ross. Without her exceptional leadership, the annual Falcon Invitational wouldn't have been possible.

Hello SPAS families! Your New Family Mentor Co-Chairs are looking for current families to help welcome next year's newest Falcons. Whether you are a veteran mentor or new to this job, we can use your help! Send us an email at: newfamilymentor@stphiliptheapostle.org

if you’re interested in meeting our new families and earning some hours.

Looking for a few more uniforms? The Used Uniform Committee has your back, and we have lots of new inventory! We have monthly used uniform pick up/drop off from 7:45 am to 8:30 am by the PTO Closet, outside of the Ministry Center (at the TK parking lot), the 1st Friday of every month. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Used Uniform Committee at uniforms@stphiliptheapostle.org

The service hour requirement has been reduced by 4 hours. Tuition plans A and C are no longer required to perform parish service hours. Instead, we encourage you to volunteer at the parish and a maximum of 4 hours will count towards regular school service hours. 

30 hours school + 4 hours Fall Fest + 2 Red Tie Benefit hours (when applicable) = 36 service hours total per school year. 

If your family is on tuition plan A or C, volunteer requirements must be up to date for both parents before service hours can be earned. If you are on a non-service plan but would like to volunteer you must satisfy all volunteer requirements.

We must have the following on file : 

• Current TB 
• Virtus
• LiveScan

Proof of covid vaccination and/or negative covid test is not currently required to volunteer on campus. 

As a reminder, you must be feeling 100% healthy to volunteer on campus. We thank you for your efforts in helping keep our campus safe and healthy.

St. Philip the Apostle School is proud to be the largest ministry of St. Philip the Apostle Parish. As the largest active ministry of the parish, our students have been invited to have a regular, active role in our Sunday 9:00 AM Mass. Students in grades 4th-8th have been invited to be the Lectors for the first reading and to be greeters and ushers during the mass. We feel this is a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience being active participants in our Parish Mass.

Click here for Sign Up Genius link. We would like to ensure that every 9:00 AM mass has our students participation.

Please note - families will be expected to attend the mass with the student. When you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions. Students who sign up will practice during the week before their scheduled mass.

Thank you and we look forward to having an active presence at the 9:00 AM Liturgy!

Please mark your calendars! Meet the Teacher Day will be on August 22, 2023. You can find a snapshot of the 2023-24 school year calendar here. 

If your child is late because of a doctor or dental appointment, please bring a note to the office from the professional for an excused tardy. 

If you pick up your child early, please sign them out at the front desk. If someone other than the parent picks up a child during the school day, we need a note signed and dated by a parent giving that adult permission to take the child out early. This is the case even if they are on the carpool and/or the emergency list. Thank you for understanding that this is to keep your child safe!

When reporting your child out, please state the reason for the absence. Thank you for being a partner in keeping everyone safe!

You can report your attendance to Karen Conley at kcconley@stphiliptheapostle.org.
