The Family Hub — everything an enrolled family needs, on one page. Red is Hockey. Green is Soccer.
For a midweek change outside your weekly Sunday attendance, or to reach staff during the school day — the attendance lines below go to every on-site, full-time staff member at the respective academy.
Absence, late arrival, or early pickup — one email reaches every full-time staff member at the Hockey Academy.
TPHSTLAttendance@tphacademy.comAbsence, late arrival, or early pickup — one email reaches every full-time staff member at the Soccer Academy.
TPHSTLSOCCER@tphacademy.comHockey goalie families use the dedicated goalie line so RGA goalie days are planned around who's on the ice.
TPHSTLGOALIE@tphacademy.comNotice should be given in writing and in advance. If a student isn't present 30 minutes into the school day and no notice has been received, a staff member will call. Student drivers stuck in traffic or weather may call instead — never text or email while driving. Pickup is at 3:30 PM for hockey and 3:00 PM for soccer; TPH St. Louis is not responsible for student-athletes remaining at the facility after dismissal. School closures are announced to all families by email.
Both academies. Aligned with most St. Louis school districts.
