Our school community thrives on parent involvement. The Parent Participation Program is how we track and recognize the volunteer hours families give throughout the year. Helping at school events, volunteering in the classroom, chaperoning field trips, and supporting school activities all count, and every family is encouraged to take part.

Our Christian Service Program gives students a chance to put Jesus’ words “to love one another as I have loved you” into practice through service to St. Paul and the West Point community. Service means giving your effort freely to a person or non-profit that benefits from your help. It is not chores, babysitting siblings, or helping a business.
- Grades 5 and 6: 10 hours required
- Grades 7 and 8: 15 hours required
Hours can be served starting July 1 before your child enters 5th to 8th grade, or during the school year. Turn in documentation to your homeroom teacher on or before May 1. More details are on pages 25 and 26 of the Parent/Student Handbook.
An online Christian Service verification form is coming soon. Until then, turn in your documentation to your homeroom teacher as described above.
TeacherEase (Kindergarten to 8th grade): gradebook, assignments, lunch money, and attendance are all at teacherease.com. There is a phone app too, which makes checking grades even easier. Need help with your parent account? Call the school office.
Beacon text messages: thanks to a generous donation, church and school families get messages about their child’s class and the school as a whole by text. Once you register, your cell phone is added automatically. To add or remove a person, or to get emails instead of texts, contact the school office.
Due to Nebraska state regulations, St. Paul cannot give your child any over-the-counter medicine, including Tylenol or ibuprofen, or any prescription medication, without written permission from a parent or guardian. Medications must come in the original bottle or package, labeled with your child’s name, and be brought to the school office. A separate authorization form is needed for each medication and each student.
Students in Kindergarten to 8th grade also complete a Technology Acceptable Use Policy and Student Technology Contract. Call the school office for these forms.
