Congratulations and many blessings to our 8th graders as they receive the sacrament of Confirmation tomorrow at our 4:00 mass. We ask that you pray for our candidates as they deepen their relationship with Christ and strengthen their baptismal committment.
Lord, You send out Your Spirit to touch the hearts of all people,
so that they may believe in You and in Jesus whom You sent.
Look kindly on all candidates for Confirmation
as they listen to Your voice.
Open their hearts to Your Spirit and bring to fulfillment
the good work that You have begun in them.
As we prepare these children for Confirmation,
make each of us an instrument of Your love.
Teach us to appreciate what is holy in others,
and to be patient with what we do not understand.
Deepen our faith in the Gospel
and help us to pass it on by our example.
We pray that You will continue to guide us and sustain us.
Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

We also want to take this opportunity to introduce our updated tuition policy for St. Michael Catholic School. Please review the policy carefully, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our Parish Business Manager, Terri Hayes, at thayes@stmichaellouisville.org.
We are currently working to finalize tuition rates for the 2025–2026 school year and will share that information as soon as it becomes available.
Thank you for your continued support of St. Michael Catholic School.
Sincerely,
Kristyn Bowman, Principal
Terri Hayes, Business Manager
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.
