"Go to the poor. You will find God." - St. Vincent de Paul
Each month, our school community will participate in a service project to help the needy in our community. This month, we are asking for toiletry items - bar soap, deodorant, and liquid hand soap - for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Baton Rouge. Items can be brought to your child's homeroom class or to the school office through August 29. Collection bins are in the commons of Frey Hall, St. Joseph Hall, and Preschool. Thank you for your generosity!
Are you interested in learning how to play an instrument? Students in 5th and 6th grade have the opportunity to be a part of our STM Beginning Band program! The band meets twice a week before school.
Join us for Instrument Demo Night on Tuesday, August 26, at 5:30 p.m. in the St. Joseph Hall Commons. This is a great opportunity for students and parents to get to meet with Mr. Buller, as well as try out some instruments to see what might be the best fit for you. Fill out this form and come check it out! If you have any questions you can email Mr. Buller at bullerb@stmbr.org.
We hope to see many of you there!
Our Choir Club is still open to 4th-8th grade students. Come make a joyful noise with us! Email Mrs. Mallory Sollie at solliem@stmbr.org to join Choir Club.
Are you receiving texts from STM? If not, text START to 31706 to receive important text updates and reminders from our administration.
Extended Care registration is still open. For fees and details, and to register, please go to stmbr.org/extendedcare25.
Students who are not picked up in afternoon carpool will be sent to Extended Care as a drop-in. If a student is not previously registered for Extended Care and is sent by the office (due to the office closing), the parent must register the child at that time and pay a fee. If your child is going home with another child in Extended Care, your child also must be registered. Please contact Mrs. Gretchen Thibodeaux with any questions about Extended Care.
Nurse Rochelle MOVED locations on campus over the summer! She and Mrs. Guidry changed rooms. She is now on the end of our “Student Services” wing directly across from the playground!
IMMUNIZATION RECORDS NEEDED: If Nurse Rochelle has contacted you by email or phone to request an updated immunization record for your student(s), please send them as soon as possible. These records must be up to date at the beginning of school. If you have not been contacted then you can assume that the record we have on file for your student is up to date. Immunization records can be copied and sent to school in an envelope to Nurse Rochelle’s attention, scanned and emailed to rochelle@stmbr.org (photos do not print well), faxed to 225-275-0376, or dropped off at the front office.
MEDICAL ORDERS: If your child had medical orders or medication in the nurse’s office last school year, the paperwork needs to be renewed each August. Blank paperwork was sent home in May, and blank medical forms can be found on our website: Important Medical Information and More — download and print what you need.
Thank you to our amazing STM Home and School Association, who helped welcome the faculty and staff back to school by treating them to lunch during orientation and then wrapping up the week with a Friday afternoon social, complete with some well-earned treats to celebrate their first week.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION: Use the Box Tops app to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add cash to STM's earnings online.
