A Message from the Principal

Dear St. Mary's Families,

We are so excited to kick off Catholic Schools Week this Sunday with Mass! Parents, students, and faculty are invited to join the 11am Mass at St. Mary’s to begin the celebrations. After Mass there will be hot chocolate and refreshments outside in front of the church.

On Wednesday, we have another special Mass to celebrate students, faculty, and especially our families starting at 8:15am. Following the Mass, all parents, guardians, and community members are invited to a reception in the lower hall, during which Damien, the chair of our Board of Specified Jurisdiction, will be speaking. Wednesday is also St. Mary’s Giving Day! At the reception, you will have the opportunity to learn more about our school programming and what Giving Day brings to our school.

We are looking forward to a fun week celebrating Catholic education!

St. Mary's Giving Day is 5 days away! On January 28, join us in celebrating faith, academic excellence, and the community that makes St. Mary’s School such a blessing by making a contribution. For your convenience, early giving is now open, and you may make your gift anytime during the days leading up to Giving Day. All donations made during this early giving period will count toward our Giving Day goal. Your support makes a difference in the lives of all of our students!

Give Now

Early Re-Enrollment Ends Monday!

There is still time to participate in early re-enrollment for 2026-2027! All families that re-enroll by January 26 will be entered into a drawing to receive a $500 credit towards their 2026-2027 tuition. On January 30th, three families will be randomly selected to receive the tuition credit.

All families have until March 1st to complete the re-enrollment packet using the FACTS/SIS Family Portal. If the re-enrollment packet is not submitted by March 1st, your family's enrollment status will be considered withdrawn for the 2026-2027 academic year. If there are any extenuating circumstances regarding your family's decision to re-enroll, please make us aware as soon as you are able. If you are in need of financial assistance, please reach out to Dr. Nadjarian (cnadjarian@stmarys-brookline.org) and Ms. Gloria Reyes (greyes@stmarys-brookline.org) to schedule a meeting.

If you have already informed us that your family will not be re-enrolling, we ask that you still log into the FACTS/SIS Family Portal and select the "Will Not Re-enroll" option.
