School of Saint Mary FYI
February 11, 2022
Notes from Mrs. Maricle
THANK YOU for helping us hit the return rate on Re-Enrollment Forms goal.
Monday, February 14th will be a free dress day filled with love!
1. MAP Growth Testing: We are wrapping up the winter session of testing next week. Parent reports will be going home at the end of the month. I am very pleased with the scores.
2. Snow Day Videos: If your child completed the snow day assignment from me last Friday digitally (video, photo, online file), could you please email a copy to Mrs. Edwards at sarah.edwards@schoolofsaintmary.com. She is going to put together a slideshow to use as part of our marketing effort.
3. Cafeteria Volunteers: Just a reminder that the hour requirement is PER SEMESTER. All families are asked to work 10 hours in the fall and 10 hours in the spring. Incomplete hours for the fall have been billed already and incomplete hours for the spring will be billed in June. Volunteers can be anyone in the immediate or extended family that is over 18 years of age.
***We need help! Please sign-up under the link listed below in cafeteria section.
Cafeteria Volunteers
Reminder...I am asking that all families give their best effort to complete 10 hours of service to the cafeteria each semester. Hours can be fulfilled by any family member over the age of 18. At the end of each semester, those who were unable to serve the full 10 hours for whatever reason will be invoiced at $15 per missing hour.
If you cannot work your shift, you MUST secure your own sub.

COVID-19 Updates
*Week of February 7, 2022-
ZERO CASES for students or staff!!!!
COVID Testing: The Task Force has given approval for families to use either a PCR Test or a Molecular ID Test to return from quarantine. Saint Francis offers a free drive thru clinic that yields results in 24 hours.
Grace and Understanding: This is a gentle reminder that we need to be following in our Heavenly Father's footsteps in giving people grace and understanding during these difficult times with COVID. We field so many calls a day asking for guidance to ensure everyone is doing the right thing. Yes, COVID is real and scary, however, we also have students and staff suffering from seasonal allergies, head colds, pink eye, stomach bugs and various other ailments that could present as COVID. So much is unknown so we need to unite as a community to lift each other up each day and trust that each of us is doing their best for our school.
Note: We want families to be our partners in navigating school during a pandemic. If you have COVID comfort concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's homeroom teacher. We are doing our very best to make accommodations as we can.
The School of Saint Mary Health and Wellness Plan for 2021-22 is posted below. We want to remind everyone that we review data often and we are committed to our plan being an evolving document based on trends in our area.
