Good evening STMS Families,

Families if you have not had the opportunity to do so, please complete the 2024 Parent and Guardian School Climate Survey. The Parent and Guardian School Climate Survey can be found in the Parent Portal under the Forms tab. Please complete the survey before Thursday, March 28, 2024. Parent Climate Survey results inform decision-making at the school, district, and state level and are included in the school’s annual report card.

We have another short, yet impactful week of school ahead. This week students will receive report cards on Wednesday, March 27. On Thursday, our students will have a half day of school, so that our faculty may engage in professional learning. As we approach spring break, I hope our students and families take the opportunity to relax and engage in activities that will bring happiness. I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday. Let’s have a great week.

Respectfully,

Dr. G. Marek Marshall

Principal

All unclaimed jackets and coats will be donated after March 28. If your student is missing one, please have them check lost and found.

In honor of Women's History Month the female faculty and staff of STMS were asked why/how Women's History Month is important to them. We will share their responses throughout the month of March.

Women's History month is important to celebrate our intersectional identities. Being part of a group that is often considered less than men is frustrating, so having a month to celebrate women's accomplishments is empowering.

Women's History is very important to me because it celebrates the freedoms that we now experience...how far we've come! Sometimes I think about the fact that at one point women could not even vote, or own a credit card, or even drive. Everything had to be done or approved through our counterparts... husbands, etc. We have definitely come far! So, I stand very proud to be a female, and will always pay homage to those who paved the way for me.
