Second Quarter Teacher Conferences


Teacher conferences begin the week of January 20. Please contact your child's teacher or advisor if you did not receive an online signup form.

Looking Ahead: No Classes January 20-21 


For planning purposes, a reminder that St M will be closed on Monday, January 20, in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.  Our Extended Day program is also CLOSED on this day.
No classes will be held as well on Tuesday, January 21, as this is Teacher Conference Day. Our Extended Day Program will be open 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on January 21. 

St M Summer Spectacular Camps: Registration Opens 2/1


Explore your creative side. Experiment with science. Embrace the outdoors. Learn coding and engineering. Be an adventurous chef. Welcome to summer camp, St. Michael’s-style!  
St M will offer 7 camp sessions from June 15-July 31 for children ages 4 through rising ninth grade.  Half-day and full-day options available. Tell your friends as you do not need to be enrolled at St. Michael's to attend summer camp.

Online registration opens February 1. STAY TUNED!  
Please contact Ashley Buffey, Director of Extended Programs, with any questions.

Please Wear Athletic Shoes on P.E. Days

A reminder that students need to wear (or bring) athletic shoes on P.E. days. We are finding that some students are coming to P.E. in boots or heels and this is a safety issue. We don't want to have students sidelined just because of their footwear.  Thank you for your help.

  • The cut-off for placing orders is always 6 p.m. SATURDAY for the upcoming week. 
  • Remember, you can schedule lunches up to 4 weeks in advance!
  • If you miss the window, contact Yay Lunch directly at info@yaylunch.com
  • Be sure to check your class calendar to ensure your child is not away on field trips on chosen hot lunch days.
