Emergency School Closings-The decision to declare an emergency closing due to inclement weather will be made by the Superintendent of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of St. Augustine.
The superintendent will remain in constant contact with the county’s emergency services in order to determine the safest course of action for all the schools. When a decision is made to close the school, you will be notified by email and through our Parent Alert System.

For SAFE Clearance (Volunteer Clearance)- All Families
All adults volunteering with children and vulnerable persons are required to complete our online Safe Environment which includes a Protecting God's Children course and a background check which you will renew every five years. This training consists of video segments, questions, and a review of diocesan policies. Topics include “grooming” of potential victims, boundaries, signs of sexual abuse, reporting, etc.
As of July 1, 2022- All active diocesan employees, coaches, and volunteers, the registrant will be required to complete a 35-minute online module titled A Plan to Protect 4.0 as part of the process.
If you have VIRTUS training from another diocese contact the VIRTUS helpdesk 1-888-847-8870 to have your VIRTUS account transferred from your previous diocese to the Diocese of St. Augustine. Once the account has been transferred please notify our office.
New users need to first set up their Virtus account (The organization is “St. Augustine, FL (Diocese)”) where you will sign three electronic forms and set up an appointment for a Protecting God's Children course and your background screening. Please click here to sign up.
If you already have a VIRTUS Account, click here to update your account or contact the Helpdesk at 1-888-847-8870 to recover your login information. Do NOT create a second account.
For your background check only or 5-year re-check click here. (These can take eight to fourteen days to return to us.)Family Service Hours Information (Kindergarten-Eighth Grade Families)
Our K-8 families of Annunciation have a service hour requirement with our various committees. The first 12 hours must be completed before December 15. The second 12 hours must be completed before May 15. Late fees will apply at the end of December and May for any unpaid balances.
We have many working families, single-parent families, and those who work nights. We have something for everyone.
You do not have to be cleared through the SAFE Environment Program to get your required family service hours.
All committee members and volunteer coaches must log their hours or committee function (officer, homeroom parent, etc).
We try to remove your name from the report, but there are a lot of committee members so we may make errors.
To log your hours, log into your Family Portal. Go to "Family" and pick the name of the person who did the service from the middle drop-down area. Click on the "+" sign and fill in the form to add your hours. Don't forget to save. The verified portion is only if we manually add something from the office. The sign-in computer does NOT sync with your Family Portal. You must log your own hours.

RECORD REQUESTS AND MEDICAL EVALUATIONS
All requests for student records must be given in writing to
the school and there is a minimum of a 72-hour turnaround
time to process requests. In order for records to be
released, there may not be any outstanding balance on the
family’s school account.
All requests for teachers to complete evaluations and
student observation documents must be submitted to the
office 72 hours ahead of the date needed.
Requests of this kind must also be accompanied by a self
addressed stamped envelope with the name and address
of the medical professional or an email address.
Diocesan policy states that the records be sent directly to
the professional and not handed to the parent.
Please note that ACS does not fax records, so an
alternative to the SASE is to email the medical professional.Additional Resources For Parents

Scroll down for the lunch ordering instructions.
Lunch Ordering Instructions:
Parents K-8 Only (PK must bring their own lunch)1) Log into your Family Portal Account.
2) From the main screen, click 'Student Information.'
3) Click 'Lunch' in the same section.
4) Click 'Create Web Order" at the top.
5) Select which days you would like an entree by scrolling down the page and put the number of items in the QTY column. You do this for EACH child for each day of the week. NOTE: Do not order meals for all your children under one child's name. If you have multiple children, you will see tabs for each child. Please check carefully when ordering.
6) When done ordering, scroll to the bottom and click 'Order Items.' If lunch items are in blue on your lunch calendar on your PC or a black dot on your app, then lunches were ordered for that day.
7) The charges will now display for the student on your Family Portal portal to be paid on the Family Billing screen. We suggest keeping a deposit on your account.
NOTE: Lunches are billed after they are eaten the day of. You can pay from your student billing page and even pay over the amount to have a credit on your account. You will have until 1:00 pm each school day to order for the next school day and until 1:00 pm on Friday to order for Monday. (For example, you need to order by 1:00 pm on August 12 for lunch on August 15.) You also need to order by 1:00 pm the school day before vacations to have lunch when we return.Balances are to be paid in full on a monthly basis or you will receive a late fee and risk being shut off. We must pay the restaurants on delivery. We do not carry balances with them. This is why it helps to keep a deposit on your lunch account.
If your child is absent, their meal will be held in the refrigerator and given to them upon their return. It can also be given to a sibling, if applicable, to bring home. If you know before 1:00 pm that your child will not be in school for lunch the following day, you can go to your account and cancel lunch by clearing out the quantity on each item and hitting submit. We do not refund lunches.
