Nationally Recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence
From the Desk Of Mrs. Bopp
Dear SAM Families and Friends,
Welcome Fall! It has been a great few days for our SAM family. Last evening, I had the pleasure of working with our St. Isidore tech committee. Our team, comprised of parents, community members, faculty, and staff, had a wonderful discussion about how we can continue to provide our students with the tools, resources, and skills, to enable them to be 21st century thinkers and doers and leaders. Most exciting was the discussion about the opportunities to develop ongoing partnerships with secondary and post-secondary educational institutions, as well as local businesses, as we continue to establish and develop our STEM/STREAM programming initiatives.
Today, I had the honor of accepting our OCSAA accreditation certificate at our monthly principals' leadership meeting. That certificate represents the dedication and hard work of our faculty, staff, students, and parents who, over the past six years, so tirelessly worked together to create and support the curricular programming that helps to develop the minds and hearts of our young people. Cudos to all!
Until next time...
Peace, Prayers, and Blessings,
Chris

As we establish our new school year please keep in mind a few things. Thank You!
Any transportations changes need to be communicated via phone and email by noon unless it is an emergency. (Page 26 of the Parent/Student Handbook).
Students arriving late need to be brought to the office by a parent/guardian to sign in before they can be admitted to class. (Page 29 of the Parent/Student Handbook).
Any doctors visit should be followed up with a note - doctor, dentist or orthodontist offices are usually familiar with this process - ask them for a note. (Page 27 of the Parent/Student Handbook).
EXTRA YEARBOOKS
We have extra 2015-2016 yearbooks. The cost is $24.50, checks made payable to St. Angela Merici. Please contact Mrs. Stasiuk for more information.
