The Archdiocese of Philadelphia supports the well established Catholic philosophy of education that parents have basic rights and duties in the education of their children. The mission of Saint Dorothy's Home and School Association is to provide parents and teachers a means of sharing and creating experiences for the benefit of the child, the school and the home. Because we place the highest priority on the spiritual and moral development of our families and on the service of others, we will strive to assist in providing an environment which integrates academic excellence with Christian values.

President's Mission Statement

We, who are nominated to the Executive Board of the Home and School Association are a parent volunteer organization which works together with the principal, the faculty and the parents of Saint Dorothy. As the Home and School, we are here to offer and provide support academically and spiritually by helping to create experiences which benefit our children.

Email Communication

The Home and School Association is continually looking for ways to improve our ability to keep communication lines open.  One of the ways in which we can do this is to provide information via e-mail notifications and updates.  If you are currently not receiving email updates and would like to receive information/updates, please email Home & School at homeandschool@stdots.com with your current e-mail address/es 

We also welcome your comments, ideas, and suggestions!
