If you are moving to Mississippi from out-of-state, please note that your child/children will need to see a local pediatrician before school starts in order to have out-of-state immunizations converted to the required Mississippi 121 immunization form.
  • Communication from the School

    Beginning in August, every St. Andrew's parent will receive a weekly email from their division head to the email address we have on file. These emails are generally sent on Monday evenings. Additionally, every St. Andrew’s parent is automatically subscribed to the weekly school newsletter, "Saints News". Parents can update their contact information found in their profiles in MySA. "Saints News" is generally sent on Tuesday evenings. In case of emergency, all parents will automatically be subscribed to receive emergency notifications via phone, email, and SMS (text).
  • Contacting IT/Tech Help

    The Information Technology department is here to help you! Our older students will be working with various online platforms, so please reach out to them for technical assistance and if you have questions about required equipment. https://gosaints.tech/ contains many resources for parents and students as well as a way to request help. There is also a wealth of information on the platforms our students use during school. 
  • St. Andrew’s Parents’ Association

    The St. Andrew’s Parents’ Association (SAPA) is an energetic, active organizational community made up of all parents of St. Andrew’s students. Our purpose is to facilitate parental understanding of the school’s goals and achievements, and to provide enrichment, parental support, and financial assistance to all aspects of the school. Each division has coordinators and some have grade-specific and classroom representatives. These volunteers will be a rich source of support and information for new families. There are many ways to get involved with SAPA. 
  • Summer Information

    Each division has summer work that is required of our older students, such as summer reading and math. There is also information on other to-do items, like completing school forms, as well as needed supplies and required equipment (Chromebooks for grades 5-8 and laptops for grades 9-12) All parents will receive a communication directing them to this information in late spring or early summer.

  • Textbooks for Middle and Upper School Only

    This is a non-optional fee. In order to provide textbooks to all students at a lower, bulk purchase price, all Middle and Upper School students are automatically enrolled in our textbook rental program. This fee includes all physical and digital textbooks/workbooks required for the school year; summer reading resources will still be purchased separately by individual families. Faculty have chosen whether the resources in their classes are to be rented and reused (i.e., need to be returned at the end of the course), or if that resource will be given to the student to freely write in to assist with their learning. In general, large history or math textbooks were selected by faculty to be included as part of the textbook rental pool, while items such as novels or workbooks may be kept permanently by students so they may freely highlight and annotate these. We recognize the importance of active reading strategies (i.e. highlighting, annotating, etc.) for all of our learners. Students should feel free to mark up all books as needed, and individual teachers will clarify expectations about textbook care at the beginning of each course.
  • Bring Your Own Device Program for Middle and Upper School

    This is only for students in Grades 5-12. 

    Please use this online document to guide your purchasing decisions.

    Grades 5-8 May Not Use Apple Laptops or Windows 11 Laptops. Any student in those grades with an Apple or Windows 11 Laptop will be required to buy a Chromebook. We will be checking and registering every Middle School device in August of 2026. 
    • Grades 5-8: Chromebook
    • Grades 9-12: Apple Laptop or Windows 11 Laptop
    • All students need headphones with a microphone. These do not need to be expensive items. If you have questions about these, please contact IT at helpdesk@gosaints.org. 
    All required software will be provided. Please do not buy software without consulting with the technology department. Students are often eligible for discounts on personal software purchases. 
  • Summer Camps and Auxiliary Programs

    St. Andrew’s offers multiple programs outside of the traditional school day. There are summer camps, after school enrichment programs, single day camps for when school is not in session during the academic year, and after school care for those needing care until late afternoon or evening. Visit our Auxiliaries page to explore the many offerings and sign up!
  • Athletics for Grades 7–12: Dragonfly Max

    All families with a student who participates in an MHSAA sanctioned sport must have a Dragonfly Max profile to ensure eligibility. Each family only needs to create one profile; multiple athletes can be added to a single profile. More information will be provided this summer on creating your child’s profile.
