St. Mary School currently partners with FACTS, a company offering instant school to parent contact that allows St. Mary to reach all parents within minutes to communicate emergency need messages!
The FACTS communication system is used for messages that need to reach parents when time matters. Early dismissal notices due to weather, school event cancellations, or bus delays are some of the uses.
FACTS will also be used to send the monthly newsletter and to make all announcements by teachers. The newsletter is published around the first of each month and is emailed and/or posted on the site under Newsletter.
Please complete this online form FOR EACH CHILD YOU HAVE ENROLLED AT ST. MARY SCHOOL by AUGUST 1st to be certain the phone numbers and email address you want entered are being used. If the form is not completed, your contact information will not be part of the emergency notification system.
If you need to enter multiple email addresses in the email field, please be sure to separate them with a semi-colon ( ; ).
Fields marked with * are required.
SAFETY AND RESPECT FIRST…
St. Mary School is fortunate to have a supportive community of families which creates a culture of respect and treating others as our faith calls us to do. We are told that each person is made in the image and likeness of God and therefore should be treated accordingly. In an effort to maintain a safe and caring elementary school where all are welcome, and in accordance to Protecting God’s Children, we want to ensure that issues that may negatively impact this goal are researched and fixed when possible.
