2023-2024 Staff Roster, Roles, and Responsibilities*
Saint Mary School is a small Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade Catholic parish school with a maximum student population potential of 356. We have a dedicated and experienced team of staff members who are committed to the students and families we serve. Each person is a valued member of our staff and plays an integral part in ensuring the school runs efficiently. Transitional Kindergarten through 2nd grade classes are self-contained with a primary teacher and a full-time teacher's aide for classes with more than 34 students. From 3rd through 8th grade, classes are departmentalized with one teacher's aide to support students in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades and another teacher's aide to support 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who are struggling with reading and math. Our Art, Physical Education, and Music teachers provide these classes to all students once a week. There are two full-time and one part-time office staff to support the administrative requirements for running an Archdiocesan school. Two part-time staff members organize the school lunch and snack program.
