planning...the key to a successful school year

At the start of each school year, students gather in the church to have their backpacks blessed by Fr. Tom. Each and every day, the backpacks represent the work required of students at St. Mary's. Success results from preparation, hard work, and planning.

​Like a good road map, planning keeps us on course and takes us to our destination.  The school calendar below includes days off, breaks, and parent-teacher conferences to assist parents with planning and scheduling in order to ensure success for the upcoming year.  Additional information about grade-level specific programs can be found at the bottom of the page. Visit the Support Our School page for a list of fundraisers scheduled during the school year.  A more complete school calendar with specific school events and activities is available by logging into Ren Web.   

Fr. Tom begins the school year by blessing students' backpacks.
