Violin every Tuesday

     

 

Registration forms for next year must be returned by next Friday, March 31st to assure your grade slot. 

This includes siblings of current students who will be NEW next year, especially preschool students. There are very limited slots available, especially part-time. We have multiple new preschool students waiting to hear if they are accepted. Because we give priority to siblings of current students, we cannot accept these waiting students until after March 31st. We cannot ensure a sibling a slot after March 31st so please return the necessary paperwork before that time.

That paperwork includes a completed new student application form and tuition agreement, returned with a copy of the birth certificate, baptismal certificate (if applicable), a copy of the most recent physical exam with immunizations and a $300 tuition deposit BEFORE March 31st to ensure acceptance. Again, we cannot ensure a slot after March 31st.

Please contact the Admissions Office or the main office if you have any questions or need any paperwork.  Thank you!

Help us spread the word!  No pre-registration needed!

-  Make sure your children have eaten well on test days. Studies suggest that good nutrition is related to improved attention and concentration. 

 

- Help your children by encouraging a good night's rest before exams. Children who are tired will have difficulty focusing on their work. 

- Make the morning of test days pleasant. Stress will impair your children's ability to perform their best. 

- Remind your children to dress comfortably, perhaps in layers, so that they are able to adjust to the temperature in the room. 

- Ensure that your children make it to school on-time so that they do not miss any instructions and are allowed ample time to settle in and relax before the test begins.

- Don't be too anxious about your children's test scores. Although it is important to let them know that the tests should be taken seriously, it is also important not to increase test-taking anxiety. 

- Don't underestimate your influence on your children. Taking an interest in what they are doing at school and helping them prepare for tests will certainly have a positive impact on them! 

Our fourth grade students have been hard at work learning how to use the informational process of writing.  

Their task was to read two selected books from the Journeys reading program, take notes, write a six paragraph piece from their notes and include a text feature such as a map, diagram, or colored print/ highlighting. Of course, they were expected to write a rough draft, edit, and complete the process with the final copy. Their note taking was done on a flip book style organizer. The students surely learned a great deal, not only on writing informational pieces, but also about Antarctica and some of the birds that live there.

To read the student pieces go to the SMA webpage, click on Student Life, then Student Writing Gallery and Fourth Grade Writing. Once you open the fourth-grade folder you will find the folder labeled Antarctica. 

 Enjoy!

Don't forget Boxtops For Education. Don't toss 'em...clip 'em! Before you throw out that box, check to see if it is one of the hundreds of boxes that participate in Boxtops for Education. St. Michael's Academy receives 10 cents for every box top so clip them out and send them to school with your child. Every little bit helps!
