Principal Notes September 24, 2020

Dear Families,
We have been blessed this week with warm sunny days! There is no better way for us to gather as a school community than to pray the rosary. Please join us on Friday at 1:45 on the playground. Grades 1-8 will be participating.
Just a reminder there is no school for students on Thursday and Friday, October 8th & 9th. This was supposed to be the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Teacher Convention downtown. It was canceled this year. Instead, the teachers will be in school working on their own professional development.
The students have finished MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Testing. Please look for an email from Mrs. Klein for the results. This is for K5-8th grade.

Spirit Wear
Just a reminder that every 2nd and 4th Wednesdays is Spirit Wear. You will receive an email or a text as a reminder. Students are allowed to wear any clothing that says St. Mary's Visitation is allowed. Neat, clean, and untorn jeans, sweatpants, wind pants, and sweatshirts may be worn. Shorts need to be uniform shorts or shorts that are knee-length. Uniforms may be worn in lieu of spirit wear.
Here comes the Bus App
If your child/children ride the bus, then this app is for you. It will allow you to view the real-time location of your child/children's school bus on your phone. Please click here for information on how to get the app. If you need your child's student ID please email me at kdries@stmaryeg.org
Wipes
If you are shopping and you see bleach free disinfected wipes, SMV could use a few for cleaning our electronic devices. Thank you!!
Safeguarding all God's Family
In order to volunteer at SMV (this includes playground duty) please make sure that you have completed the safeguarding class offered by the Milwaukee Archdiocese. Many of you have completed the session and had a background check done years ago. Did you know that the background checks expires after 5 years? Please click here to renew your background check.

Hello, we are Derrick and Katy Mittelstadt. We became parishioners at St. Mary's in 2011. During the early years, when we had opportunities to interact with the students and staff of SMV, we always noted how kind and respectful everyone was. As we began planning for the future, we both agreed that we would like to send our children to school at SMV. We are the proud parents of four busy boys, three of which currently attend SMV. Theo is in first grade this year, Beau-K4, Louie-K3, and Cal is almost 2 years old. As a family, we enjoy hiking at Lapham Peak, frequenting playgrounds, building with Legos, and movie nights! Over the summers, we love to spend time up north fishing, swimming, and playing in the sand. We started our family in Brookfield and moved to Elm Grove two years ago. We love SMV because of the amazing community of parents, teachers, and staff. We know our boys are receiving the best Catholic education and that they are loved, accepted, and nurtured each and every day.
