One Call Now
SMV has several ways of contacting parents, email blast, virtual backpack, teacher class pages, and we use One Call Now. One Call Now is our way of sending important voice, text and emails messages to our parents with one simple click. With this system you can opt out of phone calls and receive text messages only and you just have to
text the word Alert to 22300. Please DO NOT call the school if you receive a phone call--listen to the message first.
We will be using this method of communication more often.
Hot Lunch Woes
If you would like to learn more about becoming a sub for Mrs Kau, our wonderful cook, please contact Courtney at
cfalk@stmaryeg.org. You will need to go through Elmbrook's hiring process, which includes a physical, and ability to lift 50 pounds. Thanks for your consideration!
