Over the summer, Bishop Shanahan made renovations to the entryway to help make our community safer. In addition to the renovations, Raptor Technologies was purchased to help manage visitors coming into the building during the day. If you need to come into the building for any reason, please make an appointment first with whomever you wish to meet. In addition, you will need to provide the school with your driver's license. The new entryway is now located at the far left side of the main entrance instead of the right. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping our community safe.

All Seniors need to provide the school with proof of vaccination for the 2nd dose of the meningococcal (MCV) vaccine. If the school does not have proof of vaccination by October 25th, your student will not be able to attend classes. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Keller at jkeller@shanahan.org or Mrs. Hart, school nurse, at lhart@shanahan.org.

Bishop Shanahan utilizes two powerful online tools for record keeping and student learning: PowerSchool and Schoology. PowerSchool is our Records Management System where official grades and attendance are recorded. Schoology is our Learning Management System where teachers share resources, give assignments/assessments, and communicate important course content. All parents and guardians already have PowerSchool accounts. If you are new to Shanahan or need assistance logging into PowerSchool, please follow the instructions found here. All families received an e-mail from the Office for Academic Affairs with instructions on how to log into Schoology. If you encounter issues with wither PowerSchool or Schoology, please contact the Office for Academic Affairs.

Please note on the calendar there is no school for students on September 29th. The faculty will be participating in a Universal Curriculum Professional Development Day.
