All incoming seniors for the 2025-26 school year were required to have a second Meningococcal Vaccine (ACWY) before the start of their senior year.
This requirement is from the Ohio Department of Health’s School Immunization Requirements (ORC 3313.671).
Please make an appointment with your primary care physician as soon as possible. You can also check with your local pharmacy or your local Health Department to see if they can give your student the Meningococcal Vaccine (ACWY).
If your incoming senior does not have the vaccine before September 5, 2025, they will need to be excluded from school until written documentation from your primary care physician is provided.
If you need an Immunization Exemption Form, see the STVM website.
Once your incoming senior receives the Meningococcal Vaccine (ACWY), or if your student has already received this immunization, please provide a copy of the Immunization Record to the School Nurse.
You can:
Drop the Immunization Record off at the School Clinic
Email the Immunization Record to clinic@stvm.com.
Have your medical provider fax the Immunization Record to 330-996-0000.

Students are expected to complete 25 service hours during this academic year. Please see STVM’s requirement for Christian Service Hours in the STVM Course Catalog. Service hours are due in the spring--by April 15 for seniors and May 1 for juniors, sophomores and freshmen.
Juniors and Seniors are expected to complete at least 15 of those hours off campus at local non-profit organizations or with other non-STVM related groups. Sophomores are expected to complete at least 10 hours off campus, and Freshmen are expected to complete at least five hours off campus.
Hours must be logged in MobileServe and verified by a supervisor. Please follow these steps:
Log into MobileServe.com using your STVM/Google credentials. Freshman and transfer students will receive an email in their inbox from TeamMobileServe that will help them claim their account.
If it is your first time logging in (transfers and freshmen), the website will ask you for a School Code, but you can just "skip this" step.
Please enter a phone number in MobileServe as a way to verify your identity.
On the home screen, there is a big blue button that will lead you to a few questions about any service hours you do.
It is important that you provide an email address for the person supervising your service. MobileServe will ask you for that email as you log your service hours. The supervisor will then receive an email from MobileServe asking them to verify your service hours. As you log your hours, you should also be double checking your MobileServe account to make sure the hours have been verified.
We recommend entering your service hours as you complete them throughout the year so that supervisors will receive verification requests right after you complete your service, not months later when they may not recall the details. The whole process works best when supervisors can verify hours in a timely fashion.
We will be checking once service hours are due to confirm that each student’s service hours have been verified.
Please see or email Mrs. Cooper in the Campus Ministry Office if you have any questions. Please also visit the Campus Ministry and Counselor’s Corner sections of the Irish Weekly for a list of organizations and events where you can find service opportunities. Please note that this list just provides suggestions/ideas for organizations where you may find volunteer opportunities and you are not limited to the organizations listed.
Arrival Option 1:
Bottom of the Hill: Enter the campus from Maple Street at the bottom of the hill. Follow the orange cones and arrows 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.
Arrival Option 2:
Top of the Hill: If the car line is backed up to the top of the Maple Street hill, students can enter the campus at door 12 from Maple Street. Do not pull into the Bus Lane. Please have students exit the passenger side of the vehicle only.
Pick-Up:
Follow the same procedures as for arrival. Student pick up is a door 6. 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.
Please note that student drivers coming from the top or bottom of the hill will be directed to the Student Parking Lot.
