Make plans to get vaccinated early in fall, before flu season begins. CDC recommends that people get a flu vaccine by the end of October. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/vaccinations.htm Please continue to do the DAILY HEALTH ASSESSMENT with your children before school each morning. If you answered YES to any of the questions, do NOT send your child to school that day. Instead, contact your child’s primary healthcare provider and school nurse.
SMM School Parishioner
Tuition Rate Reminder: Per the St. Mary Magdalen Parish-School Commitment form, families that
receive the parishioner tuition rate agreed to “contribute a donation to the offertory weekly - a minimum of $15 per week.” This comes to $780 yearly or $65 monthly since some months have more than 4 weeks. Please ensure you are meeting this requirement to keep your tuition rate. To make a change to or start automatic withdrawal contributions, visit our parish website for the automatic withdrawal form under our “Give” section or set up a monthly recurring donation online. If you are new to the school, you need to be registered giving parishioners as listed above to receive this rate.
