Parents and children are invited to attend our Explore Our School Day Open House on Sunday, January 29, from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. at the main school campus located at 14710 Annapolis Road, Bowie, MD. 

Families will be given a tour of the school facilities and have the opportunity to visit information booths providing details about the application process along with school-sponsored organizations and clubs.  There will also be time to chat with and ask questions of students, alumni, teachers, administrators and school board members.  Light refreshments will also be offered during the Open House in Nelson Hall.

In case of an emergency or severe weather, we will follow the decision of the Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS). However, if PGCPS begin late (whether one or two hours) on a scheduled half-day, St. Pius will NOT dismiss at 12:50 P.M., but at 2:55 P.M. Whenever school closes early, all after-school activities and meetings are cancelled. ESP (before and after care program) will operate on a modified schedule.

Please listen to television and radio reports for all school closings or late openings. If school closes early for any reason, please wait until the announced dismissal time to pick up your children. It is very disruptive to the teacher and other students when numerous children are being called from the classrooms for early dismissals.

*Since the St. Pius, Sacred Heart, and Ascension campuses are air-conditioned we will NOT close for excessive heat even if the Prince George's County Public Schools close.

CELL PHONE ALERT FOR SCHOOL CLOSINGS: School's Out has a service for parents called School's Out Plus. This is for the County Public Schools, but we do follow the decision of Prince George's County Public Schools in case of an emergency or severe weather. With a subscription to School's Out Plus for less than $2 a month, you will be able to receive emergency notifications directly on your cell phone. Short Message Service (SMS) messages will be an even more convenient and reliable way for you to receive emergency alerts and you won't need to call the school to check if we are closing. Visit http://www.schoolsout.com/plus for more information.
You can receive an email notification with a free subscription to Schools Out Basic. You can sign up at www.schools-out.com

The Girls Uniform Exchange hours of operation have changed to accommodate more parents.  The uniform exchange will now be open the first Wednesday evening of every month at 6:30pm - 7:30pm, and the second Sunday of each month at 2:00pm - 3:00pm. 

The Girls' Uniform Exchange is conveniently located in the convent area at St. Pius. We have a room filled with shelves of gently used uniform items in all sizes. From preschool jumpers to middle school skirts, from tights to PE uniforms, our shelves are stocked with all sizes from children's 4 to adult medium. We even have in stock several 1/2 sizes, and H (husky) sizes. Items include middle school skirts, jumpers, short- and long-sleeve blouses, polos with logos, green button-up sweaters, Cavalier sweatshirts, PE t-shirts, PE sweatshirts, PE shorts, PE sweatpants, long navy blue pants, navy blue shorts, tights, socks, bicycle shorts, even a pair or two of gently worn shoes. The Girls' Uniform Exchange is a program offering gently used uniforms donated by St. Pius students for trade or for sale. Items may be purchased for a very reasonable price, or you can trade your gently used items for the items you need. Please keep in mind that trading is an even exchange only - ie. blouse for blouse or shorts for shorts. We cannot trade jumpers for pants, sweatshirts for sweatpants, etc. We also, for obvious reasons, can't accept ripped, stained or dirty items.  If  you cannot make it to the exchange, but would like to donate items, please bag the items, mark it for Girls' Uniform Exchange, and leave it on the homework bins located just in front of the nurse's office on the left side. We will be checking daily for any donations. All money collected goes directly to the school. This is a fantastic way to save money on uniforms and help raise money for our children’s school. We can only accept CHECKS made out to St. Pius. NO CASH. For more information contact co-directors: Lisa Kurdyla - (301)367-9673 reviews@voya.com OR Michelle Roberts - (240)882-3448 pgfdkid@msn.com
