Attendance & Absences
If a student will be absent from in-person instruction, a parent or guardian must report the absence by 7:30 a.m. on the same day. Absences must be reported by calling the main office at 320-363-3315 or e-mailing the main office at sjpoffice@sjprep.net.
Students may not excuse themselves. Students may attend school through eLearning, due to COVID-19. If a student is unable to attend in-person instruction, a parent must inform the office through the main attendance line.

Dining Services
While Prep School students do have access to dining services at Saint John’s University, we highly recommend that students bring a lunch from home when possible. Students will have access to the Prep School snack bar for pre-packaged food items (sandwiches, wraps, salads, etc.). There will not be hot meal options to begin the school year. For more information about SJU Dining services, you can check out their webpage – SJU Dining Services.
Financial Support
We recognize the financial and economic implications of a time like this and how families may be impacted. We want to assure you that our desire is to work with families in every possible way to address changes in financial situations as they occur. Please don’t hesitate to contact our Director of Finance, Sherry Krebsbach with any questions or concerns.
