Forms and information for the 2021-2022 Academic Year!
As we come to the end of another school year, it is a great time to give thanks for all the blessings we have been given that have helped us to make it through to this point! It has been a crazy and most unexpected second year here at STM due to COVID-19. I look forward to returning to school next year and seeing all you in person again!
Remember: If you are new to the school, entering PK4, K, or 7th grade, I will need an updated immunization record. Your child will have received more vaccinations, and I will an updated validated immunization record.
1. Every student must submit a copy of their most recent vaccination records to the school office before they can start school. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in your child being excluded from attendance at school until his/her vaccine compliance is received and verified. Acceptable forms of immunizations include the following:- My Chart copy as long as it is signed or stamped by physician
- Original Immunization record with stamp/signature by each shot given
- ImmTrack record as long as it is signed or stamped by physician

3. Every student must submit a new Student Health History form that will also be handed out. It must be turned in by the first day of school. This is a requirement per the Archdiocese.
4.

These forms are available now for you to print- off and take to your physician. Please discard any old health forms, they will not be accepted for the 2021-2022 Academic year.

All students who wish to try-out for or participate in a school sponsored sports team (soccer, volleyball, football, baseball, basketball, track & field, cheer team, developmental sports teams for 4th/5th graders) MUST have a Pre-Participation Physical Exam on file in the School Clinic. There are new forms this year that are available now on our website. Please print them off and take to your appointment, old versions of this form will NOT be accepted for the 2021-2022 Academic year. A new form is required for every school year.
6. Students who require emergency medications to be stored at school must have these medications and their appropriate permissions in the school office by the first day of classes. Please review the guidelines for these medications in your STM Family Handbook.- Students may not bring medication to the nurse/ medication can only be brought in by an adult
- Medication of any type cannot be given without a completed medication form

- Remember all Medication in the school nurse’s clinic must be picked up by the last day of school. If not, it will be disposed of
