Welcome Back, Buckeye!
We welcomed Buckeye, our reading dog, back this week with a red carpet and he couldn't be MORE EXCITED to be working "9 to 5" at St. Michael's. Buckeye thinks he has THE best job ever. In fact, he asked us to share the above VIDEO with you. We promise it will put a big SMILE on your face!
Music by the one and only Dolly Parton, a huge supporter of children's literacy programs. Parody by the one and only Buckeye.

Parent Engagement Survey
Independent Educational Services (IES) has been retained by St. Michael's Episcopal School to gather data and feedback from the St. Michael's School parent body to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement in the school community.
All parents should have received an email from IES earlier this week with the survey. Your participation is critical to the Board's effort to gather meaningful and accurate data. Please email Deborah Rexrode at IES you did not receive it.
All responses will be kept completely confidential. The survey closes on MONDAY, MARCH 8. Thank you!
