Re-registration packages and 2025 tax receipts will be distributed at the meeting.
Childcare will be available at the school for those families who may need it to attend.
Student Led Conferences
As part of St. Michael's ongoing efforts to keep you informed of your child's learning experiences, we have scheduled time for our students to share their hard work with their parents in the classroom.
These Student-Led Conferences will take place on Wednesday, February 11th between the hours of 11 AM and 7 PM. There will be no regular classes that day as teachers will be facilitating the conferences.
Students are to attend their conference, wearing their school uniform at their scheduled time. Each conference will take approximately 25 minutes. We are using an online scheduling system to set up appointment times.
Online Scheduling
Opens Sunday, January 24th at 9 PM
Closes Wednesday, February 4th at 10 PM
If you do not schedule an appointment, teachers will allocate time for you from their remaining time slots. Please click the link below to access the appointment website once scheduling opens.
Our Scholastic Book Fair will once again be open in the gym during Student-Led Conferences.
Event Information
Tuesday February 17th is Shrove Tuesday. The students will be given a special pancake treat prepared by our Parent's Association. Please note that to accommodate all of the students, the pancakes will be distributed throughout the morning. Students should, therefore, still have breakfast and bring a snack and lunch to school.
