As with previous years, Saint Raphael Academy maintains a "no cell phone" policy, students who use their phones for ANY reason (this includes, but is not limited to, calls, two-ways, and text messaging) during the school day (between 7:45am and 2:09pm) will have them confiscated for a period of 2 weeks. If you need to contact your child during the school day, please call the main office at (401)723-8100. This will help eliminate confusion.

Parents or guardians should call the Academy's Attendance Office at extension 45 if you know your child will be absent from school on a particular day. We ask that you make these calls prior to 9:30 am.

Students should arrive to their homerooms prior to 7:55am. Tardy students who arrive after 8:10 should report, with a note, to the West Building Office for admittance to class. Students must have a valid excuse and parent note for lateness. Students with neither will face disciplinary consequences.

A student late to school 4 times in one quarter will receive 1 detention

A student late to school 8 times in one quarter will receive 2 detentions  

A student late to school 12 times in one quarter will receive Saturday detention

A student late to school 15 times in one quarter will receive In-school Suspension

A student late to school 18 times in one quarter will receive In-school Suspension until a parent has a meeting with the Assistant Principal and student present 

(Oversleeping is not an excusable reason for lateness.)

In keeping with our existing policy, students will be permitted 3 Early Dismissals per Academic quarter. A parent or guardian note acknowledging an early dismissal must be received by either office by 8:10am.
Male students should be clean shaven EVERY DAY (no mustaches, goatees, beards, or other facial hair will be permitted). The hair length of any male student should not reach below the TOP of his shirt collar.

These requirements are outlined, in detail, in the 2010-2011 Student/Parent Handbook that will be distributed to students during SAINTS orientation days. Please read the handbook carefully then sign the contract page and have your child return it to his/her homeroom teacher before Friday, September 5th .

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
