Knight Notes & Emails

Beginning in June, new parents will begin receiving our weekly newsletter, Knight Notes. This email is a “must read” and will contain important announcements, information, and upcoming events. Knight Notes is the most comprehensive form of communication from our school administration, faculty, and staff and is sent on Wednesday afternoons. Knight Notes also lives on the website, https://www. popeprep.org/knight-notes.

On occasion, the administration will send an all-parent email and important message of immediate and significant importance that can require action. The message can address policy, operations, student life, emergency conditions, or information from the superintendent of schools. The subject line of the email will be listed as “IMPORTANT.” These emails are sent to the parent’s email address listed in Veracross.

Emergency Notifications

Pope Prep uses an SMS Text system for communication during emergencies. The system pulls parent cell phone numbers from Veracross, our online data management system. Emergencies include an incident or condition, expected or unexpected, that threatens life or safety and requires immediate action. Examples of when we use the emergency notification system are school closures or delays, unexpected early dismissals, emergency lockdowns, sheltering for severe weather, or fire. You do not need to sign up for the notification system, but it is up to the parent to keep the school informed of any contact information updates. We will NOT use this system for general announcements; it is reserved for emergency use only.

We encourage families to follow us on social media to receive insights and updates about campus life.
