PowerSchool

PowerSchool allows parents to keep current with their child's progress by viewing grades online. See how to set up a parent access account to view your student's grades and assignments on PowerSchool, or how to add a child to an existing PowerSchool account. Please email helpdesk@cardinalshehanschool.org if you are running into any issues. 


Parent Involvement

HSA

The Home School Association (HSA) binds parents, students, and teachers more closely in a formal association. Parents are encouraged to volunteer with various events throughout the year.

VIRTUS

With our longstanding commitment in mind, all parishes and Archdiocesan Catholic schools use VIRTUS, a compliance management system that allows all parishes and schools to facilitate compliance with Archdiocesan child protection requirements for all volunteers who work with minors, employees, and clergy.


Finances

FACTS

FACTS serves as the preferred provider for financial aid and tuition management service within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. All families are required to sign up and make payment through FACTS utilizing automatic payments (EFT) from a bank account, credit card, or processing checks sent to a secure processing center. Easy and convenient online registration is available.

Tuition Payments

The rate for the 2023-2024 school year is $6650. All accounts must be active in order for students to remain in school, receive report cards and interim reports, and participate in class trips. Please actively monitor your FACTS account to stay updated on your account balance.

School Calendar

As we approach the start of the 2023-2024 Academic Year, the school calendar will be updated on the website by mid-August.


Policies

Cognia

All Archdiocesan high schools and elementary schools are accredited as a system through Cognia. Each school is evaluated based on the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools.

Archdiocesan Collaborative School

An Archdiocesan Collaborative School (ACS) is a model of shared governance developed by the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The ACS model utilizes a shared governance model that fosters unity through the collaboration of stakeholders in support of Catholic schools. The model allows decisions regarding day-to-day school operations to be made at the local level, while individual schools and school administrators are supported centrally from the Department of Catholic Schools and the Catholic Center's Central Services in areas such as academics, finance, development, enrollment management and marketing.

Hours of Operation

For information regarding school hours and summer office hours, see Hours of Operation.

Photography of Students

The Cardinal Shehan School will be posting pictures of students, classroom activities, school events, etc. to social media and the school website. Images may also be used for advertising by CSS and the Archdiocese of Baltimore. If you do not wish to have your child’s picture used, please contact the school. Your request to not have your student's photo used will be granted from that date forward.

Positive School Environment

To foster a positive school environment\where all students are educated in a safe and caring atmosphere, all Archdiocesan schools will follow established procedures for prevention and intervention for bullying, harassment or intimidation. Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports (PBIS) has been implemented in every Archdiocesan elementary and high school to enhance academic and social behavior outcomes for all students
