LETTER TO OUR SMA PARENTS/GUARDIANS REGARDING
REGARDING SMA AUTOMATIC RE-REGISTRATION
Dear Parents and Guardians:
Greetings in the Lord! Hope your Easter season is filled with the love and light of the risen Lord! As we all work through the many challenges caused by the coronavirus, we are already thinking about the 2020-2021 school year. It has been exciting to think ahead when everything returns to normal.
A few weeks before the mandated school closure, we were in the process of re-registering students for next year. We were giving tours to new families and we were registering new students in all of our grades.
With everything going on, and in order to make this process much simpler, effective immediately, you will no longer have to complete a re-registration form. St. Michael the Archangel School is moving to a continuous enrollment process. Your family will be automatically enrolled at St. Michael the Archangel for the 2020-2021 academic year. By automatically registering our students for next year, we hope to save you some time and trouble.
If you want to register any additional family members PreK – 8 Grades for the 2020/2021 school year, please email sdicicco@sma-pa.org and copy to ewurtz@sma-pa.org and jbrown@sma-pa.org. If you wish to receive information or have questions about SMA school, please feel free to contact Mr. “D”. (sdicicco@sma-pa.org.)
If you are not planning to return to next year, please visit www.sma-pa.org/continuous-enrollment and look for the “opt out” form. Please complete that by Wednesday, April 29, 2020.
Thank you for your continued wonderful support! The Lord is Risen!
God Bless!April 3rd, 2020

Back to School Night is THIS Thursday, September 12th!!Welcome to third grade!!
My name is Miss Allison Raffin, and I'm the third grade teacher at Saint Michael's for the 2019-2020 school year. I'm so excited to begin this journey with your students!
Here's a little bit about me!
I was born and raised in Levittown, Pennsylvania. I graduated from Millersville University with a degree in Early Childhood Education (PreK-4), and a minor in music. I student taught in a third grade classroom for one year, and this will be my second official year teaching! Ever since elementary school, I've been very involved in the music program, and I've been playing the flute since I was in fourth grade! Other than pursuing my passion of teaching, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, watching baseball, and reading lots of books!
I'm SO excited to begin this school year with all of you!! It will be a great year, and I can't wait to meet you all!
