Welcome Back Everyone! We are looking forward to seeing all grades on campus this week in the Hybrid Model, with Group A students ( A-K) and Group B students ( L-Z) attending on different days. A few reminders: masks are mandatory and may only be removed while eating lunch. Water bottles are allowed during lunch and in between classes only.
Back to School Schedule this Week August 17 and 18 are regular school days (7:30 a.m. – 2:34 p.m.); however, we have incorporated the orientation activities (ie., ID pictures, And Books II, PE Uniforms, Parking Permits, etc.) at the beginning of the school day. If you would like to purchase school pictures through Lifetouch, please click here. Also, your student can purchase required reading books from And Books II if you haven't already done so. Please click here for the And Books II required reading list with prices.
Students driving to school may park in any spot in the student parking lot and enter through the student entrance on this day. They will receive their parking permit in their homeroom.
⚠️ Important If you have not visited the Back to School page on our website, please do so today as this contains important information for your student's return to school and it takes some time to complete. All documents must be submitted prior to Monday, August 17 A Group and Tuesday, August 18 B Group
AR Testing Summer reading testing is available, reserve your time by clicking here. For more information on reading requirements, please visit the library webpage here. Don't forget to follow STM Library on Instagram!
Important Information About Your Laptop Attention all students: please bring your computer fully charged and updated on your first day of classes, August 17th and 18th. Part of orientation will be a mandatory computer check. You should log in to your computer at home this week to make sure all Windows updates have run. This will save a great amount of time if completed in advance. If you have any computer problems please complete a help desk ticket before coming to school http://techsupport.stmcougars.net/
New Check Out Procedures All students checking out due to illness will report to the school nurse in room 200.
Because campus is closed to visitors, parents must email attendance@stmcougars.net with the student's check out information. Parents MUST also call the school (Heidi/Michele) at 337-988-3700 to verify the email. Students will not be allowed to check out until both the email and the phone call have been received. If you are picking up a student for an appointment, please call the school or report to the foyer in front of school and we will send the student to meet you.
While in Hybrid, when a student is learning from home, scheduled medical appointments are only considered excused with a physician's note. The student should notify their teacher in advance for attendance purposes and then bring the physician's note to STM on the next scheduled on-campus day.
COVID-19 Policies and Protocols Please review our COVID-19 policies and protocols at the top of our COVID-19 Update page. Here you will find information on checkout protocol for sick students, policy for returning, and reporting COVID-19.
PSA from Our School Nurse On Wednesday, a video was sent out to the STM Community. If you have not had a chance to watch the video, we encourage you to do so now by clicking here. As Ms. Faucheau explains in her video, we must all be vigilant during this pandemic. If we want to keep our students in the building and around campus and if we want athletic and extracurricular events, we must all do our part. Please avoid large gatherings such as sleepovers and remind your child to wear their mask, wash their hands often, and practice social distancing.
