Safe Environment
The Archdiocese of St. Louis is committed to the prevention of child abuse and to assisting those who are affected by incidents of child abuse. For purposes of this policy, child abuse means physical injury, sexual abuse, or emotional abuse inflicted on a child, other than by accidental means, by those responsible for the child’s care, custody and control or from persons who are agents or employees of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
All employees, volunteers, religious, priests and deacons working in the schools, parishes and agencies of the Archdiocese of St. Louis are required to support this Policy and to comply with the Procedures developed to implement the Policy.
The Archdiocese of St. Louis has a system for safe environment compliance called Prevent and Protect STL. Everyone ministering to minors and vulnerable adults (clergy, employees and volunteers) in the archdiocese is required to register in the system.
Please go to www.preventandprotectstl.org to register and contact your parish Child Safety Coordinator with any questions or for further assistance.

Crisis Go
School safety is a top priority here at Saint Louis Catholic Academy. You trust us with what's most precious to you -- your children -- and we don't take that trust lightly.
Throughout the Archdiocese, the communication tool CrisisGo has been implemented to help schools receive communication on any dangers and communicate in case of an emergency.
If you or your child ever hear of a threat to student safety (ex: bomb, self-harm, bullying, gun, etc.), we invite you to fill out this tip reporting link. You can leave your name for follow up or you can share the information anonymously. The information is shared with our school leadership for follow up.
