| Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service
At St. Michael's, we strongly value student engagement in service around our Richmond community. As has become annual practice nationwide, we encourage students and their families to serve their communities on January 20 as a way of honoring the work of Dr. King.

Q2 Teacher Conferences
Teacher conferences begin this week. Please contact your child's teacher or advisor if you did not receive an online signup form.
For student safety as there is no adult supervision on the playground and our Extended Day program is at capacity, we ask that any children who are accompanying their parents at conference time sit quietly in the hallway outside the classroom.
