Parent/Teacher Conferences
This Friday, Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held via Zoom. Please sign up using the link below. All teachers are listed in the sign-up, so please check to be sure you are signing up for the correct teacher. Many students have several teachers, so you are welcome to sign up for a conference with as many or few teachers as you would like.
A Zoom link for each conference will be sent out on Thursday.
Extended Care Director
We are pleased to announce that we have a new extended care director, Mrs. Dawn Harris, who will be starting today.
Mrs. Harris was employed for many years as the St. Mary of the Assumption recess coordinator. Previously, SMA required parents to supervise recess as part of their service hours so the staff could eat their lunch. Mrs. Harris coordinated the duty schedule, lead the supervision of children at recess, and handled any injuries or serious incidents. In the time since she left SMA, she served as a judiciary clerk and manages her own business. We are confident that her experience directly supervising children, interacting with families, and organizing paperwork and billing will make her an excellent fit for the position.
She can be reached at dharris@stmaryum.org, or by calling the school number and selecting extended care from the voice menu.
Welcome back, Mrs. Harris!
