While you may see schedule updates posted in Blackbaud, these are still not official.  Please be patient and wait for Administration to notify you via this communication and Social Media when the schedules are finalized and posted to Blackbaud.  

Please wait to contact Administration and Teachers with concerns until we have communicated that final schedules have been released. Appropriate time will be communicated and allotted for schedule changes once schedules are finalized.

We truly appreciate your patience. 

In line with Ohio law, STVM will implement a cell phone-free policy starting this fall. During school hours (8:00 AM - 3:00 PM), students will not be allowed to have their cell phones, smartwatches, or other personal electronic devices visible or active. These devices must remain silent and stored in lockers. If you need to reach your child in an emergency, please contact the school, and we will ensure your message is delivered promptly. Students will have access to school phones if they need to make a call or get in touch with an adult. At STVM, we believe that focusing on face-to-face interactions enhances our community. By keeping devices secure during the school day, we help students concentrate on their studies and build important relational skills for becoming engaged and productive citizens. Please review the Ohio Cell Phone Law and complete STVM Cell Phone Policy. 

We value clear and open communication, and with many new faces and expectations for the 2024-2025 school year, we invite all parents and guardians to attend a MANDATORY Curriculum Night on Wednesday, September 4, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.

During Curriculum Night, you will have the opportunity to walk through your child's schedule, meet their teachers, and learn about the key information and requirements needed for a successful school year.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Ensuring the safety of our students is a top priority, and accurate accounting for all staff and students is essential in case of emergencies. We need your cooperation with the following protocols:

Before School:

• 7:30 - 7:50 AM: Students should sign in and either stay in the Student Center or go to their before-school supervised club and check in with the teacher.

• 7:50 - 8:00 AM: Students may head to their lockers and then to their 1st period class. After checking in with the teacher, they should proceed to the Arena for Morning Meeting.

• 8:00 AM: Students arriving at this time must visit the school office to obtain a Tardy Slip.

• 8:30 AM: Students who arrive later must present a written excuse (e.g., from a doctor) at the school office to receive a Tardy Slip.

After School:

• 3:00 - 4:00 PM: Students are welcome to stay in the Student Center during this time.

• 4:00 PM and later: Students not directly supervised by a coach, teacher, or club supervisor are asked to leave the building.

Ensuring the safety of our students is our top priority. To achieve this, we collaborate closely with Akron Police to maintain safe arrival and dismissal procedures, given our location along high-traffic roads. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to the guidelines outlined below to help keep everyone safe.

Arrival:

• By Car: Enter the campus from Maple Street at the bottom of the hill. If you're dropping off a student, follow the orange cones on the far right side of the parking lot to Walnut Street, which runs between the school and the Cosgrove building. Students may exit cars at Door 6, located on Walnut Street.

• Exiting: Vehicles should exit to West Market Street via Walnut Street or Bates Avenue (near the football stadium). Please do not circle back to exit via Maple Street, as students will be entering the lot to park in their assigned spots. For safety reasons, students cannot be dropped off on Maple Street.

Pick-Up:

• Follow the same procedures as for arrival. Additionally, students may be picked up at Door 12 on Maple Street. The Visitor Parking Lot at the corner of Maple Street and Market Street is also available for use during dismissal. Please avoid parking in the bus lane or on Maple Street.

All freshman students and their families are cordially invited to a morning of fellowship and fun. Celebrate Mass, enjoy breakfast, meet fellow students, visit the bookstore, and learn about the year ahead.
