Be Prepared!
It’s that time of year where we all need to be reminded of "what to do" when bad weather is predicted or you wake up and there has been snow or ice overnight. Before you call school with that first forecast of snow or ice, you can be proactive and sign up for one of the television news stations weather alerts. Fox-41, WHAS11, WAVE3, and WLKY all offer such
alerts.
Please sign up for the Parent Alert that SSM uses to send out important information. We will always sent out a text alert in the event that school is closed or delayed. We will also post it on the St. Stephen Martyr Facebook page.
