STUDENT LIFE

Information for the 2024-2025 school year


As we head into the 2024-2025 school year, we are excited to share some news with all of you. We would like to inform you of an upcoming change regarding the high school uniform shoes. Effective August 2024, there will be a modification to the approved footwear for our school uniform policy. Because our current school uniform shoes, Doc Martens and Eastlands, are nearly impossible for our shoe vendor to get in stock and the quality of the shoe has become noticeably inferior, the Chapelle administration has made the decision for our students to wear the School Issue Semester - Tan Suede shoes. These are more comfortable, and we are happy to report that they are half the price of the Doc Martens. Please note that the 2024-2025 school year will be a transitional one. Students may wear either shoe BUT all grade levels will be required to abide by this new school shoe policy for the 2025-2026 school year. All new students are required to purchase the new style of shoe.  Any student with shoes in disrepair will be required to purchase the new shoe.  On check in day, all shoes will be checked. A picture of the new school shoe is attached.


Ponseti’s will carry our new shoes.  It is a School Issue shoe and that is the required brand. For your convenience, these shoes will be kept in stock at Ponseti’s all throughout the school year. If purchased in-store, Ponseti’s will offer a complimentary spray of their Suede Shoe Protector, as well as a second pair of shoe laces. Ponseti’s has been wonderful to work with so far, and we are excited to offer our parents this more affordable and easily accessible option of shoe wear for our Chipmunks! Ponseti’s is located at 3501 Severn Avenue, APT 3D in Metairie. 


Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter, and remembering always.....Deus Providebit…God Will Provide,

Vaccines: VERY IMPORTANT


Meningococcal vaccine

According to the Louisiana Department of Health, all students in 11th grade or 16 years old MUST receive the 2nd dose of the Meningococcal vaccine.

• If your daughter turns 16 years old before the first day of school, she MUST have received this vaccine in order to attend school. 

• Once your daughter turns 16, she has a month to have the vaccine or she is then considered past due and cannot attend school.

• Students must wait until their 16th birthday in order for the vaccine to be accepted by the state.  

• If your daughter gets the vaccine before her 16th birthday it is not valid. (Please DO NOT get the vaccine before your daughter’s 16th birthday.)


Hepatitis A vaccines

According to the Louisiana Department of Health, all students entering school must have record of 2 doses of Hepatitis A vaccinations before being allowed to attend school.  

• Please check with your doctor to make sure that your daughter is up to date on the Hepatitis A vaccines.

New Paragraph

Bullying/Harassment Policy

Bullying is a distinctive pattern of repeatedly and deliberately harming and humiliating others and is characterized by a power imbalance between the two parties. Bullying includes, but is not limited to physical or verbal aggression, relational aggression, or emotional aggression (teasing, threatening, and intimidating others). Relational aggression (RA), is a form of indirect bullying that uses social relationships to manipulate or harm others, such as isolating a student

from her group of friends (social exclusion), threatening to stop talking to a

friend (the ''silent treatment''), or spreading gossip and rumors. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, slurs, jokes, comments, or other offensive conduct relating to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic. Bullying, relational aggression (including cyber-bullying), and harassment will not be tolerated. Please use the forms below to report bullying.

Recapping a Great Summer

Nothing But Net: Molly Avrard '28 Wins 3-Point Competition

August 8, 2025
This summer, Molly hit the court in a big way—literally! While playing travel basketball, she participated in a 3-point shooting competition during one of her tournaments. The contest brought together about 15 talented high school players from across Louisiana and Mississippi, each ready to show off their shooting skills. When the final buzzer sounded, Molly had made the most 3-pointers out of the entire group, securing her spot as the champion! Her sharp shooting earned her not just bragging rights, but also a championship ring and a $400 prize. We are so proud of Molly for this exciting achievement! We cannot wait to see her in the Burrow this year representing Archbishop Chapelle High School on the basketball court!

Kyla Wilson '29 Set to Represent Team USA this Fall

August 8, 2025
We are thrilled to share exciting news about one of our own, Kyla Wilson '29, whose dedication, skill, and perseverance have earned her a spot on the international stage! This past June, at the USA Gymnastics Nationals, Kyla was selected to represent the United States at the South Tyneside International Acro Cup in Great Britain this October. This prestigious competition will bring together top athletes from around the world, and Kyla will proudly compete as part of Team USA. Kyla’s journey to this moment has been years in the making. Countless hours of training, discipline, and determination have shaped her into the exceptional gymnast she is today. Her selection is not only a testament to her incredible talent but also to her resilience and love for the sport. We are so proud of Kyla and cannot wait to cheer her on as she takes the floor in Great Britain.

Prayer for Spring

Dear God:

Spring is a metaphor for change. Some changes we eagerly await, and some we abhor. Some changes we plan and others arrive uninvited. To all these changes we ask the gift of Your perspective beckoning us to expectation, hope, and rebirth.

May the sunlight and the rain be reminders that You are at work renewing the earth. As a God of renewal, You are ever at work in our lives, too.  Open our eyes and lives to the needed changes in our lives this Spring. Awaken us to new life and perspective, for we pray in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Golden Guidance: Mrs. Reeg Honored by Notre Dame

August 7, 2025
Congratulations to our College Counselor, Mrs. Jessica Reeg '00, on receiving the Notre Dame Golden Guide Award ! This prestigious honor, awarded by the University of Notre Dame, recognizes outstanding educators who go above and beyond in guiding students through the college search and application process. What makes this award especially meaningful is that recipients are nominated by their own students. Recent graduate Savannah Corrales '25 nominated Mrs. Reeg for the award, sharing: "If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have applied to any out-of-state schools, but her encouragement and support throughout this process helped me get into top schools like Notre Dame, where I’m proud to continue my education." Mrs. Reeg is a tireless advocate for our soon to be alumnae, working one-on-one with seniors through every step of the college admissions journey, from essay writing and transcript tracking to scholarship searches and application prep. This year also marks Mrs. Reeg’s 20th year of dedicated service at Chapelle. We are so proud and grateful to have her as part of our school community. Congratulations, Mrs. Reeg!
