Cadet Communications Quick Start
Saint Thomas Academy is a large school with much going on at all times. It's what makes the Academy such an exciting place, but sometimes it can be challenging to find the information you want and need. Here is a communications guide to help.
All parents and students have their own Unified Classroom login and the information is customized for you; please do not use each other's accounts to access Unified Classroom.
1. The Basics – What You Need to Know:
- Read the Weekly Newsletter email each Thursday evening. You may also bookmark online at cadets.com/weeklynewsletter.
- Read any emails from the Headmaster, Division Heads or Assistants and teachers.
- Save and use the Calendar and the highlighted Key Dates for the 2023–2024 School year.
2. Saint Thomas Academy App
Saint Thomas Academy has our very own app, now you can have all the information you need in the palm of your hand (or iPad!).
The app features daily schedules, weekly newsletter information, Athletic schedules and results, Staff/Faculty, Parent and Student Directories and more.
Encourage your son to download and use as this is an EASY way to stay on track with the schedule and what is happening each day.

3. Intermediate – All of the Above Plus a Little More Info:
- Read alerts and other communications from athletic teams your son participates in via TeamSnap.
- Push School Calendars to your personal calendar, via gmail integration. Access the Calendar and click on the gray RSS icon on the right side of the page.
- Saint Thomas Academy utilizes email and text messaging to inform of weather related school closures, late starts, etc.
4. Advanced – All of the Above Plus Some Extras:
- Familiarize yourself with the pages of Unified Classroom, including those for your son's classes, as well as any resources you might need throughout the year.
