Need to Know

Student ID Badges

School IDs with a House lanyard are to be worn at all times except during athletic practices and PE. All new students will receive a lanyard and ID at Orientation. Any returning student who needs to replace a lanyard or ID can request a new one on the student page of the Pope Prep website. During school hours, students may use their ID to enter the building through the doors next to the chapel. (IDs are also used in the dining hall to access prepaid funds.)

Student Arrival/Drop Off/After School

Students are to be dropped off and picked up at the top level of the parking lot in front of the courtyard. Students who drive to school must have a Pope Prep parking pass in order to park in the student parking lot (on the bypass side of the school). Students may enter the building beginning at 7:15 a.m. The school building is open after school until 5:45 p.m. for students who need to wait for transportation. Bus route information can be found on our website: www.popeprep.org/admissions/bus

Campus Visitors

Parents and other visitors to campus during the school day should park in the visitor lot next to the circle drive and enter the lobby to check in with the receptionist. Parents may also leave items for students on the shelves in the lobby area.

Early Dismissals & Absent Students

Contact the Student Life office when a student will be absent or dismissed from school early. When students return from an absence or a dismissal, they should bring a doctor's note to the Student Life office, when applicable.
