Introducing Our New School Crest
St. Margaret Mary had a great devotion to Jesus’ Sacred Heart and saw His heart ablaze with love. Jesus made 12 promises to those who honor His Sacred Heart and revealed them to St. Margaret Mary whom he called “ the beloved disciple of the Sacred Heart.”
Our crest also includes the school colors and the words of our school goal, “Empowering students to pray, think, make and do.”
IMPORTANT ADDITION TO THE SMM SCHOOL HANDBOOK
SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING
If you are already Safe Environment trained and must renew, you may do so online. The link for the instructions is listed below. Also listed below is the link for Austin Computing registration.
St. Margaret Mary Administration highly recommends that all parents take the training. You may want to chaperone a field trip or work on a class craft in the future. You will have to be Safe Environment trained to do so. Also, if you ever wish to coach a sport or assist with moderating an activity, you must also have a background check.
If you have any questions about Safe Environment training, please contact Lisa Suttles, SMM Business Manager, by email at lsuttles@saintmm.org.
Speaking of Safety
We do not want anyone to get hurt, so please be safe when walking around.
Finally, parents, please do not talk or text on your phones while driving and/or walking with your children on campus. We have had some close calls because parents are distracted while talking or texting on their phones.
Thank you.
