STAR Testing
Spring STAR testing is scheduled for Monday, April 29 - May 9th. All STM students will be testing in reading and math during this time. These tests are very important and will help determine future high school placement. It is very important that students try their best on these tests. Please help us ensure your students are well rested during this time and are ready to do their best! Thank you!
Staffing Update
We are blessed with a dedicated, faith-filled, talented staff here at STM, and we thank each of our staff members for generously serving our children and our community. We understand that life changes and God’s path leads us in different directions, and as the school year wraps up, we have a few changes to share with you.
- Fourth Grade: Thank you to Ms. Patlan for so generously serving in a teaching role this school year! She will be heading to Madison to begin a School Counseling program through UW-Madison! We wish you all of the best Ms. P!
- Counselor: Thank you Ms. Tina for your words of encouragement and nurturing students' minds, bodies, and souls. We wish you the best!
- MS Religion & Catholic Identity Coordinator: Thank you Ms. Atwell for your faithful heart and for pouring your love for Jesus into STM students! Ms. Atwell is moving to LaCrosse with her family. We wish you the best!
These three positions will be posted this week on WECAN. We invite you to share these openings with those in your network. Any interested candidates may contact me at jtyrrell@gracesystem.org.
