Every Friday afternoon at 1 PM you will receive the school’s weekly e-newsletter in your inbox. The Week at a Glance (WAAG) is your primary source of information for the upcoming weekend and the week ahead. Please add communications@staschool.org to your address book to ensure delivery. We ask that you take a moment over the weekend to read the WAAG and mark your calendar accordingly.

You will receive email reminders from your child’s teachers and homeroom parents of upcoming events or changes in already scheduled events. Please check your email regularly.

Our ParentAlert system sends messages directly to your phone. ParentAlert is for emergency purposes only, including COVID-19 updates and severe weather alerts that affect carpool.

Our informal way of bringing you into the school day. If you are Upper School parent, subscribe to our grade level twitter feeds. Everyone can follow STA on Instagram, twitter and Facebook @staschooldallas.
