MORNING DROP OFF REMINDER -  We kindly ask parents not to pull into the parking spots along Jordan Street or Cicero Drive in the mornings to wait with your child before drop-off. These spots are reserved for our teachers, and when cars wait there, it prevents them from parking and getting into the building on time.
 
For everyone’s safety and convenience, please use the carpool line in the driveway to drop off your child. If you must pull up and wait, we ask that you do so further down the street away from teacher parking. Thank you for helping us keep our mornings running smoothly for both students and staff!
 
YEARBOOK PICTURES: Pictures will be taken on Thursday, August 14. Mass attire must be worn for pictures. Seniors do not need to wear mass attire on Thursday.
MASS DAY: Our first mass is on Friday, August 15. Please refer to your student handbook for proper mass attire. 
 
FACTS Family Directory Launch - Please Review Your Settings
 
We are excited to share that the FACTS Family Directory feature will be enabled in the Family Portal on Monday, August 25th. This directory allows Loyola families to connect with one another, and as a parent, you have control over what information you choose to share.
By default, all information is set to share, but you can adjust your settings at any time:
 
Log in to your FACTS Family Portal.
 
Click “Family Home” on the left-hand menu.
 
Click the pencil icon to edit your information.
 
Open the Custodial Parent Form.
 
Scroll to the bottom to find the radio buttons where you can select “Yes” or “No” to block your name, address, and phone number from the directory.
 
You will also see the option to have FACTS email you a Grade Detail Report daily, weekly, or never.
 
These directory selections must be completed for each parent on each custodial parent form.
Please review and update your settings by Friday, August 22nd so they are ready for the directory release on Monday, August 25th.
