Certain STM events are designated for STM students only. Due to safety and liability coverage, we cannot allow any other children or siblings, younger or older, to attend these events. Only students enrolled at STM may be present. There will be communication in Eagle News and from your child's teacher to specify which events are for STM students only. Thank you for your help and understanding in this matter.
As the end of the school year approaches, please be sure to load your child's school lunch account with enough funds to cover lunches through the end of the year. After May, there will be no opportunity to reconcile delinquencies in your child's lunch account. For May, the cost of breakfast will be $45, and lunch will be $59.40. These prices do not include extra sale items. You must deposit additional money if you wish for your child to purchase extra sale items.
