To keep everyone informed of unexpected changes in the school schedule due to weather, or other important announcements, we use the Remind app alert notification system. In addition to this, we send out an email from the school and post the information on our social media pages. For changes due to weather, we also inform KWWL.

If you are new to St Patrick School, or have not signed up in the past, text @cd4he to 81010. If you're having trouble with 81010, text @cd4he to (619) 450-1267. For emails only, go to rmd.at/cd4he on a computer to sign up for email notifications. You do not need to sign up again if you have signed up before.

**We sent a test notification last week. If you did not get our test alert, please double check your information on the Remind website/app. We cannot access your account information**

Check out our apparel store with Iowa Sport Supply to help with school approved uniform needs. All orders are placed directly through Iowa Sport Supply and take 3-4 weeks to be ready for pick up.

We are now utilizing a new online bill pay system. EZSchoolPay can be used to pay your lunch balances, Circle of Care fees, preschool fees, etc.

This system is used as a family account, therefore you only need the information for one student per family when registering, and payments need to be made for one family member to be shared with siblings. Multiple lunch and Circle of Care payments are not necessary, as these are family accounts.

November invoices have the website and student number necessary for creating an account.

We will no longer utilize Revtrak. If you have their site bookmarked, please update to the EZSchoolPay site.
