Technology -  School to Home

STS updated the Office software to version 2007 over the summer. Students may have translation issues between versions.  Microsoft has a converter that can be installed on home machines that have earlier versions of Office.  You can find the converter here.

 

ATTENTION ALL SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS

As part of the ongoing efforts to promote the maintenance of a safe environment, the Diocese of Harrisburg has adopted identification badges for all persons who have completed the requirements of our diocesan Youth Protection Program. These badges are to be signed and carried on the person who is the badge-holder in a visible manner above the waist any time the person is engaged in a youth-serving activity or program.  If you do not have a Youth Protection ID Badge you may NOT participate in any youth-serving program or event.  Wearing of badges is mandatory after October 1, 2009.  If you should lose your issued badge you must report it immediately to the school or parish office.  A cost for a replacement card may be incurred by the badge holder.  The items to be completed in order to obtain a Diocese of Harrisburg ID Badge can be found here.
