We are so excited to welcome our families back for another great school year! At our Back to School Event, you can plan to drop off your school supplies, meet your teachers, check out your classroom, and visit the various club & activities booths in the gym. See more details below!

Join Us Thursday, August 14th!

Kindergarten-8th grade students and their families are invited to join us for a Back to School event!

  • Is Your Family New to St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic School? Please stop by the welcome table in the school commons (enter through the North or South doors) and we’ll have a volunteer available to welcome you and show you around the school!
  • Meet Your Student’s Teacher & Visit Their Classroom: K-8 class lists will be posted in the gym so head there first. While there, visit all the awesome booths (more details coming soon) before heading to your student’s classroom. Teachers will be in their classrooms during both sessions to meet their students.
  • Drop off School Supplies: If you ordered your school supplies from EPI, they will be delivered directly to your student’s classroom.
  • Learn What’s New at St. Stephen the Martyr: A host of groups, committees and clubs will be in the gym to welcome your family back to school. (Check back as the event gets closer for the below info!)
