Afterwards, we will recognize AR winners as well as the recipients of the Jerrod and Karen Smith Awards.

Also, there will not be a formal dress code for tomorrow's Chapel service. For the last day of school, students may wear Jean Day school attire!

8th Grade Clap Out

Tomorrow, our 8th graders will still participate in our traditional "Clap Out" where they walk the hallways of St. Matthew for the last time.

However, this year's COVID protocols will require for this to occur differently, since parents are not allowed in the building.

Students will stand outside their classrooms. 8th grade parents are to line up under the blue awning. Any other parent that would like to join the chain outside is also welcome to do so.

Thank you for helping us send off our graduates!

2021 Spring Music Concert

Our students have been hard at work this school year learning and creating music. Even in the midst of a challenging year with COVID protocols, we wanted to be able to give our students an opportunity to perform for you!

Mrs. Cirihal, Mr. Czinder, and Mr. Smith invite you to check out the St. Matthew 2021 Spring Music Concert featuring our song flutes, recorders, band, orchestra, and choir.

View the professionally produced 30-minute concert HERE.

Returning Items

Please make sure that your child has returned all school property, such as library books, uniforms and all text books.

Report cards will be held until all property is returned.

Art Boxes

Dear St. Matthew Parents,

With the end of this school year, your student will bring home their personal art supply box that we used in art classes this year. Please encourage your student to use and store these supplies at home over the summer and for next year’s homework.

Thank you,

Mrs Flake, Art Instructor
