“CARES 2023-2024 registration is still open to all grade levels. If you haven’t registered your child(ren), please make sure to do so before school opens. For safety reasons, any child that is sent to CARES and does not have a registration form on file, even if they’ve been in the program in years past, will not be permitted to attend CARES. In the event of an emergency, especially in the PM session, the office is closed, therefore, we would not be able to obtain the emergency information for your child so we won’t be able to call home. Registration forms can be picked up in the front office (please make sure it’s the 2023-2024 form) or by contacting Patty Walton via email at [email protected]. Please do not print the registration form that is on the website. EVERY child needs to have a form on file and the front and back must be filled out. Only those listed on the form will be able to pick up your child(ren). Thank you for understanding and we look forward to seeing all of the children soon.”
We would like to welcome 2 new members to our SMA faculty. Mrs. Darlene McGovern in Prek 3 and Mrs. Stacy Pustay in 3rd Grade. They will be a wonderful addition to our school.

New SMA Principal!!! Hello everyone, Father DiIorio and I are happy to announce that after a thorough search process, Mrs. Karen Arocho is our new SMA School principal!!! She comes with excellent teaching experience in Catholic schools (20 years!), strong technology skills, worked as Student Council rep, has much experience in Early Childhood education and she knows all of our SMA school students, many of them personally. Most importantly she has extensive knowledge of SMA School. She is ready to take SMA School to an even higher level. God bless, Father DiIorio and Mr. “D”.
THANK YOU!!!! Mr. "D'. Thank you everyone for the many cards, gifts, Dunkin gift cards, kind words, etc.!!!! For me it was a privilege to be the principal of SMA School. Together, we accomplished so much! I said previously the proudest achievement was staying open during Covid and that was great. However, reconsidering, I believe our greatest accomplishment is creation of the total family atmosphere THAT IS SMA SCHOOL!!!! Thank you to all for the support you have given me. Father DiIorio, teachers, staff, parents/ guardians, volunteers! And the children are AWESOME! It’s hard for me to say goodbye. I see a bright and shining future at Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic School. You will always be in my prayers! Thumbs up!!!! Big smile!!!! God’s light & joy! Mr.”D’

Pre-K3 / Pre-K4 / K Program Information Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic School offers two Pre-Kindergarten programs, one for children two years away from Kindergarten (Pre-K3), one for children who will be entering Kindergarten the following school year (Pre-K4) and Kindergarten. Our Pre-K 3/4/ K Programs offer children a nurturing learning environment that is caring, challenging, hands on, and academically developmental. Since we believe our children should enjoy their time here, there are also many fun activities. Appropriate child-centered experiences are provided to stimulate inquisitiveness and to develop the child’s self-assurance and independence. Our programs provide many hands-on-learning experiences in an academic readiness environment. Language is developed through a multitude of methods. Songs, plays, poems, and stories are just some of them. Centers are provided where children can experience a variety of sensory experiences in an individual or group setting. Gross and fine motor skills are developed through physical activities, play, and the creative arts. Through songs, storytelling of scripture, prayers, games, and art activities, the children learn about God's great love for each of us. Pre K 3 / Pre K 4 and Kindergarten are also part of the NDS Hot Lunch Program. (Please note: soda and fast foods are prohibited in our program.) Our children will also be given technology instruction in our computer lab. To provide the most up-to-date communication, the Pre-K 3 / 4 / Programs will soon have their website linked to the school’s main website at www. sma-pa.org. the Kindergarten program already is linked. If you are interested in registering your child in one of our fine programs, please call our school at 215-943-0222, or email me at [email protected] for more information. Thank you! God bless! Mr. Stephen D. DiCicco ~ Principal
