For both morning and afternoon carpool, vehicles will line up on Sylvan Drive heading North (toward Sherbrook) and will turn into the carpool line through the gate between the preschool building and kindergarten building. To exit carpool, vehicles leave the drive by turning right onto Sherbrook.
For both morning and afternoon carpool, vehicles will line up on Parkwood Drive heading West (toward Sherwood Forest Blvd.) and will curve south onto Dartmoor Drive.
At the intersection of Dartmoor and Sherbrook, vehicles will proceed straight across Sherbrook and will immediately turn left into the school parking lot. Vehicles will form a line in front of the library and school office. Students will be called by a member of our team and will be assisted into the vehicles. To exit carpool, vehicles leave the parking lot in front of the gym turning right onto Sherbrook.
Vehicles will approach the school on Goodwood Blvd. heading toward Sherwood Forest. Vehicles should form a line down Goodwood in the bike lane to allow non-carpool traffic to pass. Vehicles will proceed past the athletic field/playground and will turn right into the church parking lot. With the field to your right, drive toward the 5th and 6th grade building to drop off or pick up. To exit carpool, drive through the parking lot toward Goodwood Blvd. with the church on your right. While still in the parking lot, turn right and drive past the church before turning left to exit the parking lot onto Goodwood Blvd. going west.
Extended Care is available for all students before school in the mornings and after the school day has ended.

The Accelerated Reader program allows students in grades 3rd-6th the opportunity to practice and enhance their reading skills including comprehension and speed. Students will be expected to earn points by reading books and taking a computerized test each nine weeks. Students meeting their required point goal for the nine-week period will earn alternate dress and admission to “spend” their points in our AR store. Students earning 500 points or more will become members of the 500 point club and receive a medal and recognition at a ceremony.

STAR testing is part of the Accelerated Reading program used in many schools/districts across the United States to provide information about students’ reading abilities. The STAR test indicates the reading range in which the student has optimal comprehension without excessive frustration. The test will be administered five times per year (at the beginning of the year and at the end of each nine-week period), so we can track student progress.

At STM, we’re blessed to have a full-time nurse, Mrs. Rochelle Bowman, RN. Students are allowed to visit her when they are not feeling well, to take doctor-prescribed medication, or if they hurt themselves on campus. She can be reached at rochelle@stmbr.org.
