Principal's Memo 10-24-2017
From your Principal...

Dear STM Families,

This past Friday Reports Cards were sent home via email.  If you have not received your child's Report Card, please contact Judy Gentempo in the school office at [email protected].

November 3rd will be our Parent/Teacher Conferences.  Dismissal will be at noon that day with conferences from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Teachers will be requesting conferences as they deem necessary.  The office will send a letter home late this week with the schedule.  If you are not requested for a conference but would like to meet with your child's teacher on November 3rd, we will accommodate those requests as the schedule permits.  Please send those request to [email protected].

Congratulations to our Tiger Football team as they won 2nd place in the GHCAA 6 Man Football Division Championship on Saturday! Congratulations to our girls Volleyball Teams who had a fabulous season.  Our Varsity team ended in 4th place in District. Congratulations Lady Tigers!!  

One of our former students, Ian Novak, is working on his Eagle Scout Project.  Please see this flyer to see how you can help him in this important endeavor.

Parents, please remember  if you need to pull your child out of school early for doctors appointments or other reasons, all requests must be made by 2:45.  After this time, children will not be dismissed until 3:20 with the rest of the student body. 

Things to know:

Have a good night.
Yours in Christ,
 
Kristen Thome
