When signing up to volunteer for any school event, please use the same name you used when completing your Child Protection certification.
Our system verifies volunteers using that name, so if you’ve changed your name since completing certification, or if you sign up to volunteer for an event using a different name, it will not match our records. To avoid any delays or confusion, please:
Thank you for helping us make the volunteer approval process smooth and efficient!
If there are any changes to the way your child will get home after dismissal (Example: Instead of carpool, go to extended care), please call the school office at 225-275-2820 to ensure the change is recorded and communicated to your child.

We are excited to welcome grandparents to campus on Grandparents Day — November 21. Grandparents are invited to spend the morning with their grandchild(ren) for a reception, musical presentations, old school games and Book Fair shopping! We will send more details in the coming weeks.
Extended Care will close at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 31, to allow students and staff time to prepare for trick-or-treating.
Beginning Monday, November 3 through Friday, February 27, students may wear STM uniform sweatpants in place of uniform bottoms, except on Mass days. The official STM uniform sweatpants are sold only at Inka's Uniforms.
The STM Scholastic Book Fair is November 14-21! Help STM meet our goal and inspire a love of reading in our students. Scholastic will give back a portion of the goal as rewards to our school when you shop.
Click here to visit the STM Book Fair website and set up your child's eWallet.
eWallet is a safe cash-free way for your child to shop the Fair. Share your eWallet link with friends and family — anyone can contribute!

Diseases of the month: Strep throat & stomach virus have been the most common illnesses in October.
Strep throat, or streptococcal pharyngitis. Symptoms of strep can mimic other illnesses, and include: fever, red/sore throat, headache, rash, swollen lymph nodes, and nausea/vomiting. Strep is caused by bacteria and can be diagnosed with a throat swab. Strep is treated with antibiotics.
Stomach virus is highly contagious, so we ask that you please keep students home for 24 hours after vomiting and diarrhea have stopped. When they do return to school, please send your child with a bland lunch until they can tolerate a regular diet.
Please remember our 24 hour illness policy: Students should be free of fever (<100.0 without the aid of medication), vomiting, diarrhea or other contagious symptoms for 24 hours prior to returning to school. Students diagnosed with Strep must be taking antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to school, even if no fever is present.
