  Dear Parents/Guardians,
       Greetings!  We are very happy to announce we are beginning re-registration for students enrolled at Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic School for the 2018/2019 school year.  We had so much good news this year! 
  ·        Our school enrollment has increased again and we are proud of the many new additions to our SMA school programs. (Bishops Transfer Grant / Foreign Language / New Clubs: Chess – Robotics – Art - Show Choir / Fusion Science Grades 3-8 / Google School / IPADS Grades 5-8 are just some!)
  ·        We will continue our free breakfast and free NDS Hot Lunch program.
  ·        We have many new ideas to add to our school for the coming year. Stay tuned!

• To re-register simply complete the re-registration form and return it with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per family.    Payment of this fee will secure a place for your child for the 2018/2019 school year.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
• See below for all the special features of SMA School! 
• NEW Student Transfer Grant Available for 2018/2019 School Year at SMA School!  New Transfer Grant Program!
  SMA School applied for and was just informed we were selected to participate in the new 2018/2019 Bishops’ Tuition Transfer Grant Program. (Only 20 Catholic schools from the entire Archdiocese were picked to be a part of this new transfer grant program!) How does the transfer program work? Any student from a public / charter school or non-Catholic school who transfers to Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic School (Grades 2-7) will receive a tuition grant discount of $1000.00 the first year, $500.00 the second year and $250.00 the third year. More information coming soon on how to apply. Call 215-943-0222 for more information or email sdicicco@sma-pa.org.
   
  Finally, thank you for putting out the “good news” about Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic School and your constant great support.
  You are keeping “SMA School Moving Forward!”
   
  God’s Peace and love!     Mr. Stephen D. DiCicco ~ Principal

ADMISSION OF NON-CATHOLICS

Our school serves a variety of purposes, including the academic, social and physical development of students. However, the primary purpose of our school is religious. We exist for the purpose of evangelization and catechesis, that is, the proclamation of the Gospel and the formation of the entire school community of Faith. Our school offers a complete Catholic religious education program and makes every effort to develop the Faith in all the students so that they may live a full Christian life.

Non-Catholic students may be admitted to our school under the following conditions:

• The permission of the Pastor is obtained.
• Adequate facilities and space are available, without denying the admission of eligible Catholic students.
• The parents/guardians agree in writing to permit their child(ren) to attend Religion classes and Religious functions that are offered as part of the school program.
• The parents/guardians commit themselves in writing to accept and promote the philosophy, goals, objectives, and regulations of our school.
• The parents/guardians agree in writing to assume responsibility for all the financial obligations.
