2025-2026 School Shoe Information
The new shoe policy will go into effect next year. ALL students must purchase the new shoe. Doc Martens and Eastlands are no longer part of the uniform. The shoe may be purchased at Ponseti's and is called School Issue Semester-Tan suede.
A picture of the shoe and a copy of the flier with all of the information on purchasing is attached. Ponseti's has been wonderful to work with! Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Safety
For the safety of our Chapelle students, faculty and staff, we have upgraded the campus gate system. Beginning on Tuesday, January 21, the perimeter of Chapelle’s campus will be secured daily from 8:30am – 2:45pm. Access to campus will be through the Montana Avenue gate (near the flagpole) during the school day. You must pull up to the Montana Avenue touchpad and press the silver button to speak with front office. Once you have identified yourself, the gate will be opened for you to enter campus. You must come directly to the front office after parking. When exiting campus, pull directly up to the same gate. As you approach the gate, it will automatically open, and it will automatically close after you exit. Thank you for your patience as we continue to focus on the safety of our campus.
Thank you for entrusting your daughters in our care.

Bibles
For the past several years, all students have received a Bible that is used in their Theology classes. All students were sent a google form this week asking if they need a new Bible for next school year. This is in case anyone has lost their Bible, or if their Bible has been damaged beyond repair and the students need a new one. As a reminder, the Bible is required for all Theology classes at Archbishop Chapelle High School.
The Bibles are typically $49.95; however, you can receive one at a discounted price since we are making a bulk order; so this would be cheaper than having to go purchase one individually! The Bibles will cost $25. Please talk to your daughters and ask them if they need a new Bible! Here is a link to the Bible that we are using at Archbishop Chapelle High School if you'd like to take a look: https://ignatius.com/ignatius-bible-rsv-2nd-edition-leather-ibl2p/. Here is the link to the Google Form in case they have not completed it yet: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScwGhd3-aBpUva2k5xZaok6FXBuMRsBOFqX49Br_FIpEGn9Rw/viewform?usp=header
There is currently an option to purchase the Bibles through the Gulf Coast tuition portal. The option to purchase a Bible will close on Tuesday, May 27th. Again, this is for anyone who has lost their Bible or if their Bible is damaged beyond repair and needs a new one! If you have any questions, please contact Gavin Matherne: gmatherne@archbishopchapelle.org.
Thank you!

CAMPUS MINISTRY
Hallow
Last year, we partnered with Hallow, an amazing online resource for prayer that the students can use in the classroom and in their own personal lives! Having Hallow was a great opportunity that I know many of our students took advantage of. Between the faculty, staff, and students, the Archbishop Chapelle community prayed over 11,000 prayers on Hallow last year!
I am happy to say that we are partnering with Hallow again this year! Every single student will have full access to a Hallow account through their achschipmunks email. They should have, or soon will be receiving an email from Hallow with more information on how to log into their accounts. The students can access Hallow through the web browser on their chromebooks, or they can also download the app on their smartphones if they have one. We will be using Hallow in the Theology classes this year, so it is important that every student knows how to access their accounts.
Parents, Hallow also generously offers a free trial for you! Be on the lookout for more information in the future!
If you have any questions about Hallow, please contact Mr. Gavin Matherne.
Know that we are praying for you!

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.

New Year Prayer
God, thank you for a new year. May everyone in our family be willing to begin anew with a clean slate. We know that you are always ready to forgive us. Help us to be willing to forgive ourselves and to forgive one another. As we begin a new year, remind us of our truest values and our deepest desires. Help us to live in the goodness that comes from doing what you want us to do. Help us to put aside anxiety about the future and the past, so that we might live in peace with you now, one day at a time.
Amen.
