CHARGER CHRONICLES
June 28, 2022
As you know, St. Margaret Mary School went through Cognia accreditation this past school year. Thank you to all who helped in the process and participated in our focus group. Your input was well received and appreciated. We are pleased to announce that we have received our accreditation.
IMPORTANT INFO FROM ADMINISTRATION
Back to School Information Letter
Please be on the lookout for an email from SMM very soon. We are sending our back to school letter which will include information on Supply Drop Off Day, car line maps and procedures, PTO activities, 5th Grade Orientation, new faculty and staff introductions, general communications, etc. Please take time to thoroughly read the letter. We are looking forward to an exciting school year!
Download New FACTS Family App
If you are currently using the older RenWeb Home App, please download the new FACTS Family App from the Apple/Android App store beginning June 1. The RenWeb Home App will no longer be available for parents after August 15.
Changes in Parent Alert System
Starting June 1, messages sent via Parent Alert will originate from 31-706.
Parents, we encourage you to add this short code to your saved contact for St. Margaret Mary School so it does not display as an unknown sender.
SMM School Website and Email Addresses Changing
We are in the process of moving our website and email addresses from saintmm.org to saintmmschool.org. While we are hoping for little loss of communication, please be aware of this. Should you experience difficulty, please contact us Tues-Thurs 9:00-1:00 at 985-643-4612, or you may leave a message at any time and we will return the call. As always, you can reach me at 504-884-2285 in case of an emergency.
The transfer is set to begin June 1, 2022. I have not been provided a completion date.
Summer Reading Packets 5th - 7th Grades
The Summer Reading packets for 5th through 7th grades can be found on the SMM website under the Academics drop down. Here is the link to our website: https://www.saintmm.org/
EPI SUPPLY PACKS
Some parents have reported that their supply packs were missing items. Please check your packs when they arrive to make sure you have everything. Please do not wait until the day before school.
If you do have missing items, please contact EPI directly. They have been very responsive and quick to get the missing items to parents.
