Getting started (You will need your SAS email to access this.)
Additional help
St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School uses Orah, a management tool for communication among parents/guardians, boarders, upper school day students, and SAS staff. Based around a web-based and iOS app, Orah allows us to keep track of where you are so that we can provide you with as much freedom as possible while also keeping you safe. With Orah you can:
- Request weekend leave
- Sign up for weekend activities and trips
- Request a pass to be out of bounds
For more information on how SAS uses the system, contact Academic Administrative Assistant Jana Barnett. For technical help, use Orah’s Help Center.

Creating PDFs for CORE
CORE allows teachers to annotate PDF, Word, and PowerPoint files, but first you need to upload your work as a PDF file.
Here's how:
Have a file on a device (an image such as .jpg or Google Docs file)?
Use the PRINT button to save your work as a .pdf. This is particularly useful for students who have Chromebooks and no cell phone.
Have an iPhone?
You can use a SCANNER app OR the built-in NOTES app and the phones' camera.
Have an Android phone?
Use the GOOGLE DRIVE app and the phone's camera to scan images.
