St. Joseph uses an app, DirectorySpot, to give our families access to the school directory right from their computer or smartphone. The information for the directory is collected on a separate form during registration and is entered manually each year. This allows families to choose how their personal information is shared within the school community.

• You can choose what specific information you would like to have (or not have) in the directory and change it at any time. Simply send an email to sjkdirectory@gmail.com with your new address or phone number and we will update it for you.

• The DirectorySpot app is available for iPhone and Android or you can access it on your desktop.

The app is very secure and only parents and staff of St. Joseph will be granted access. Each user will logon with their authorized email address and set their own password. If you would like more information on the security features, please click here. If you are having trouble logging in, step-by-step instructions are available here.

If you submitted a school directory form with your registration package you will automatically get an email with instructions on how to download DirectorySpot and set your password. If you chose not to participate in the directory, you can still access the app - just send a request to sjkdirectory@gmail.com with your email address.

ONCE YOU HAVE ACCESSED THE DIRECTORY, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO REVIEW YOUR FAMILY'S INFORMATION. PLEASE FORWARD ANY CORRECTIONS TO SJKDIRECTORY@GMAIL.COM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
