Piqua Catholic School is CLOSED today, 11/3/22. We were going to delay school due to the heavy, dense fog but with our already planned Early Dismissal we will not have adequate time for instruction. We will, however, still have our parent/teacher conferences as planned. See you at conferences!
Did you know about our 2 hour delay and school closings policy? Here it is!
Piqua Catholic's Closing and Delay Policy due to inclement weather:
In the case that we will delay or close school due to inclement weather, parents will be notified on the Piqua Catholic School App, text/email, WHIO Channel 7, and WDTN Channel 2. We will do our best to inform you of any delays/closings by 6:30a (at the latest) on the day of the closing. We know that many of you have to find childcare for your children on these days, so if we can inform you earlier, even the night before, we will.
If weather dictates that school will be closed after the arrival of children, parents will be notified.
Our Preschool, The Center for Early Learning, will be closed on ALL 2 hour delays and closed days. Extended care will NOT be offered.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Piqua Catholic's second Dine to Donate of the school year will take place on Wednesday, November 16th from 5-8pm at Wings and Rings in Piqua.

We are looking for substitute teachers! Both our North St. and Downing St. campuses are in need.
Are you a stay-at-home mom or dad that can find childcare (hopefully free!) for your little ones for a day; a retired teacher or just retired; or are a college student looking for some extra money? Subbing at Piqua Catholic may be right for you! We guarantee a Jesus-centered, loving and fun environment to work in. Here are the requirements to be a sub:
-All subs must be SafeParish trained. SafeParish is our Child Protection Decree program
-All subs must be background checked and fingerprinted
-All K-8 subs must have an active sub license or teaching license through the state of Ohio
-All K-8 subs must have a 2 or 4 year college degree (Ohio changed this law to allow those with a 2 year degree to sub)
-All Preschool subs must be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma (college degree and early childhood experience preferred)
For our Preschool, substitute teachers typically work 3 hours per day on an as needed basis. For K-8, substitute teachers typically work a full day (7:30a-3:30p). When a sub is needed, we call those on our sub list. If you're unable to sub, we move to the next person. :)
Anyone interested in placing your name on our substitute teacher list, please call our main office at 937-773-1564 or email Tweetie at duert@piquacatholic.org. Thank you!
