FAQs

Will my child wear a uniform?
Yes, starting in 3K, Angelo Catholic students wear uniforms. Uniforms help set the tone for a serious day of school and are part of a long school tradition. Boys wear pants or shorts and shirts in school colors. Girls wear pants,  shorts, skorts or skirts in school colors. The pants, shorts and skirts are navy blue and the polo shirts are red.  Shorts are not allowed on the days the students attend Mass. Uniforms must be purchased from French Toast.

How much homework should my child expect?
Homework is intended for drilling, reading comprehension, writing papers or studying for tests. But it also instills the importance of responsibility, preparation and setting high standards. Expect about 15 minutes of nightly homework in first grade. That will increase by another 15 minutes or so with each grade level.

Is Angelo Catholic a parochial school?
Yes.  ACS was founded on Catholic principles and the Christian faith.  ACS is supported by two parishes (Holy Angels and Sacred Heart Cathedral).
 
Does my child have to be Catholic to attend ACS?
No, we accept children of any faith background. 

What is the Mass service like?
The weekly, 45-minute Mass, held in the adjacent Holy Angels Church, is a cherished school tradition. With Mass, a talk from the Priest, and a celebration of the many ways that the students demonstrate the school’s core values, it is a warm and meaningful gathering of the school community. Parents and friends of all faiths are welcome.

How is lunch handled?
Students eat lunch in the cafeteria with their teacher. They may pack a lunch at home or buy lunch from the school.  The cost of the lunch is $5.00 per lunch, per day.  Milk is also available for purchase for $.50/carton.  We have microwaves where students may heat up their lunches brought from home (please ensure items do not take more than a minute to heat up). Lunch and milk charges can be paid through FACTS or in the main office by cash/check.
