Beginning Monday, January 6th, we will enforce the Technology and Chromebook Acceptable Use Policies more stringently. Please remember that students MUST bring their Chromebooks to school every day, and they must be charged and ready to be used in class. Full details on the policies can be found HERE.

We have received a few questions about items many students received as Christmas gifts. Here are a few reminders as we start school again next week. 

• Uggs slippers (i.e., Tasman, MacKenzie, etc..), as seen to the left, are NOT permitted as part of the dress code. 

• Outerwear such as zip-up warm-up jackets, coats, parkas, gloves, hats, etc., are NOT permitted.  As we enter into colder months, please plan accordingly for days that the building will be colder. 

• Reminder that polo shirts must be worn under 1/4 zips and crew neck sweatshirts. 

• IDs must be worn and visible around the neck at all times 

All detentions from the first semester must be served by January 13, 2025. Any unserved detentions after this date will result in suspension. 

Detention schedules have been updated in Blackbaud. Please review your child's conduct records in Blackbaud to confirm the assigned dates and ensure all consequences are completed on time.

As part of your Capstone Experience, there are several key dates and requirements to keep in mind. Here’s a quick overview:

• Capstone Experience Timeline: The Capstone can occur any time during the school year, but the dedicated week is May 5th – May 9th.

• Shadowing Hours: Seniors are required to complete 25 hours of shadowing outside of STVM. You can complete these hours at multiple locations and shadow outside of Ohio if desired.

• Community Sponsor: Each senior is responsible for contacting and selecting a community sponsor for the Capstone. Your sponsor will help guide your experience. The proposal for your Capstone, including details about your shadowing, is due March 3rd.  Click here for the proposal. 

• Capstone Presentation: After completing the experience, seniors will return to STVM on Thursday, May 15th, to submit required assignments and deliver a presentation on their Capstone journey.

The Capstone packet and proposal form are available in Blackbaud under Resources for complete details. Could you be sure to read through everything thoroughly before submitting your proposal?

This Ohio Scholarship Tax-Credit Program lets you “Turn taxes into Tuition” by directing your tax dollars to our St. Vincent-St. Mary High School Students.  The money will be used for tuition assistance for those students with the greatest need. This will help STVM meet its fundraising goals and keep tuition affordable. You don't have to have a child attending STVM to be eligible. All Ohio taxpayers can participate. 

Through the Angel Scholarship Fund, you can now contribute funds that will be used to provide tuition assistance for students to attend our Catholic schools, for which you may receive a 100% Ohio income tax credit of up to $750 ($1,500 if married filing jointly) against your 2024 state tax liability. In other words, the state of Ohio allows you to "spend" some of the state income taxes you must pay anyway to provide tuition assistance for students seeking an education in our Catholic schools. The Angel Scholarship Fund is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and our Catholic schools.
