Principal Update

Dear Parents,

During this time of Thanksgiving, our school community is demonstrating the Lasallian Core Principle of Concern for the Poor and Social Justice with our Thanksgiving Food Basket Drive. Throughout this week until November 20th, we will be collecting various food items. We are having class competitions to see which class collects the most. Thank you for your support in these efforts to put together as many food baskets as possible to help the many families in need. 

With winter approaching we anticipate that there will be delay days and/or school cancellation days due to snow and ice. St. Michael’s High School will follow the SFPS delay and cancellation announcements with a separate Remind notification coming to you directly from our school. If we deviate from a SFPS announcement, we will send out a Remind specifically indicating so. 

Final exams will be the week of December 15th. Click  HERE for the complete final exam schedule. Not counting Thanksgiving break, there are only three more weeks of school left before finals. It is absolutely imperative that students complete any missing assignments and prepare adequately well ahead of time for final exams. Students who are struggling should be seeking extra help from their teachers and may also take advantage of peer tutoring. Final exams count for twenty percent of the grade in each class and really need to be taken seriously.

Congratulations to Ansley King, Jaslene Ramirez, and Charlie Ortiz who all successfully auditioned and were accepted into the NMME All State Choirs!  Ansley and Jaslene will be singing soprano and alto (respectively) in the Treble Choir under Jason Vodicka, and Charlie will be singing tenor in the Mixed Choir. 

Congratulations to all our fall sports teams on another great fall sports season. A special congratulations to our State Champion girls soccer team! Let’s all come out and cheer on our football and volleyball teams as they enter into state competition. 

Our students, faculty, and staff greatly appreciate all the support the St. Michael’s community provides our school. Go Horsemen!

Yours in Christ,

Martin C. Sandoval, Principal
