Communications
This web page is a central place for you, our newest families, to find information helpful as you begin your Ursuline experience in the next school year.
We also invite you to start checking the Parent Portal on our website. The Parent Portal is at the top of the homepage and at the top, right-hand corner of every web page. Just click on the word Parents. No password needed.
Emails
We send out information and news to our families on a regular basis. We also send special emails as the need arises.
During the school year, we email the Koala Bulletin, which notes upcoming dates, announcements, permission slips, and news from our parent organizations. The Koala Bulletin is sent biweekly on Sunday evenings. You will be added to that distribution during the summer. The Koala Bulletin Archive is also accessible on the Parent Portal.
Emails regarding school business will be sent as needed from one of the following email accounts: OfficeofThePresident, OfficeofThePrincipal, MainOffice, AcademicGuidance, PersonalDevelopment, Athletics, CampusMinistry or OfficeoftheRegistrar. These are all @ursulinenewrochelle.org. Please check your email settings to accept emails from these senders.
The Fathers' Club and Mothers' Auxiliary will send emails to members with respect to their major events.

Many of the essential uniform items - such as the blue-and-white skirt and the required Ursuline navy sweater - are purchased from FlynnO'Hara Uniform Company. Items may be bought when FlynnO'Hara representatives come on campus in the fall and in the spring. FlynnO'Hara will be on campus on Wednessday, May 14 at 3:15 pm - 5:30 pm.

Our school bookstore, the Brendan J. Moyna Bookstore, sells items that meet our uniform guidelines such as approved blue/white Ursuline sweatshirts /fleeces and Ursuline t-shirts that are suitable for physical education class. The bookstore also offers non-uniform spirit wear or gear such as pajama bottoms. You can visit the bookstore at https://tusbookstore.square.site/ to see merchandise.
