Our 6th grade is holding a $2 free dress day on November 8th! All funds will go to Catholic Charities as part of their yearly stewardship drive. Thank you 6th grade students and teachers!
November is CRPS Awareness Month, and on the first Monday of November, people around the world come together to Color the World Orange in support of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). CRPS is a chronic, often disabling condition that can bring extreme, unrelenting pain to those who suffer from it.
This day is a chance for all of us to show support, spread understanding, and join the global movement to bring awareness to this condition—Please wear an orange shirt and accessories on Monday November4th. Mrs.Jessica and Feta invite our school to join us in making a difference!
Given November 5th is Election Day, the previously scheduled Safe Environment Training at St. Margaret Mary has been moved to St. Albert the Great on Monday, November 11th.
The 2nd Annual Junior High Joust football game will be on Sunday, November 10th at 3:00 here at St. Michael! The 8th grade girls flag football team will take on the 7th grade girls flag football team in a fundraiser game! All money raised will go toward 8th grade activities here at school!

COGNIA SURVEYS
Beginning November 17th, the Archdiocese will begin to administer the yearly COGNIA surveys. Each school will have an individual link and we will send those survey links out when they open. Please, parents and families, be sure to take the survey within the deadline! Thank you!
Please take a look at our updated school handbook. The new uniform & tardy policies are listed and quite a bit of the technology protocols have been updated as well.
We ask that parents and students are mindful of several items:
No step counters or digital watches may be worn (including Apple Watches, Fitbit, Garmin, etc.)
Treats may not be sent in for birthdays--they will be kept in the office and sent back home with the student at the end of the day. This is not a new policy but we do need to remind everyone of this; thank you for your support.
Parents/guardians may not drop off forgotten Chromebooks or iPads for students. They will be kept in the office and given to the student at the end of the day.
Kentucky law KRS 159.50 defines a truant as any child who has been absent or tardy for more than three days without a valid excuse. All truants shall be reported by the principal to the Director of Pupil Personnel of the appropriate public school district. The principal will notify the Superintendent at the Office of Catholic Schools.
ABSENCE (Archdiocese of Louisville Policy Handbook):
Students may need to be away from school for illnesses or family situations that arise. These are to be documented as absences. A written excuse stating the reason for absence and signed by the parent or guardian shall be required for all absences. All written excuses shall be kept on file for one school year. Parents/guardians will be encouraged to make appointments for private medical or dental services outside of school time. Local school personnel are encouraged to make arrangements with the parents for continued education for students who are absent for an extended period of time.
Parents will be notified if their student is absent three or more times without a valid excuse.
