Parent / Student Handbook
At Saint Ambrose Catholic School, we believe parents, educators, and students each play an essential role in forming children in faith, knowledge, and virtue. Together, we nurture every child on their journey with Christ through exceptional academics, joyful participation in prayer and service, and a learning environment that embraces each student’s unique God-given gifts.
Please refer to the Parent-Student Handbook for important information about our school policies, procedures, and expectations.
School Supplies
Preparing for a successful school year begins with having the right supplies. Each grade level has a specific list of materials selected to support classroom learning and help students start the year organized, confident, and ready to learn.

Parents and family members are invited to view and celebrate their child’s artwork by leaving encouraging comments, sharing galleries with loved ones, and even uploading additional artwork created at home.
