School of Saint Mary FYI
August 12th, 2022
Notes from Mrs. Maricle
1. Registration: Please make sure you bring check or EXACT cash amount to registration. No credit cards or change made.
2. Cafe Ordering: We are moving to an online platform through the FACTS family portal for lunch ordering this year. Attached is a typed handout with instructions. Also, I have created a video showing the steps on how to order as it would show on your screen as a parent. Here is the link:
https://www.loom.com/share/cb49e8b4f12b4d43a79871b43541f1ed
In an ideal world, we would love to have all the orders for the August 18th and 19th made by the end of this weekend but since this is such a new system, we are going to leave the ordering portal open until Wednesday, August 17th.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Please Note: We will never deny a child lunch if they forget one from home. We also think we have figured out a way to omit the charge when there is an absence.
3. After School Care: We are still looking for after school care workers. Please contact Mrs. Acevedo at margaret.acevedo@schoolofsaintmary.com if you know of anyone that would be a good fit.
Important Back to School Announcements
Uniforms: To clarify, K-5 boys can wear white or ash gray polo shirts and K-5 girls can wear white or navy blue polo shirts. The dress code is attached below.
2022-23 School T-Shirt: Shirts have been ordered and will be available for purchase at registration.
Summer Reading/Math Challenge: Don't forget about the summer challenge. Students can log reading through August 17th to qualify for the free homework or out-of-uniform passes. Students will just need to bring verification of the completed challenge. It can be anything with a parent signature.
Lego First Robotics: I will be sponsoring an after school Robotics Club for grades 5-8. If your child/ren are interested in joining, please email Mrs. Maricle. The club will meet weekly, likely on Monday or Tuesday, until 4:30pm August through November. There will also be some weekend competitions.
