All students are expected to take part in these days of exploration, learning, and service. (Please note that families must provide transportation to and from school on Monday, March 4. Buses will not run on Crusader Day.)

Freshmen

All 9th grade students will visit and tour two college campuses on Monday. Students will visit Texas State and either Incarnate Word or Trinity University.  The college counselors will assign the school visits in San Antonio based on an alphabetical divide.  
 
Permission slips must be submitted to the college counselors in person or via email byFriday, March 1.
 
 
All students must be on campus by 7:15 a.m. We will return by 4:00 p.m.

Sophomores

Monday, March 4
 
Sophomores are required to attend the Sophomore Leadership Retreat, led by the Senior Leadership Team and SMCA faculty and staff. This retreat provides students the opportunity to grow in their roles as leaders in the St. Michael’s community through a series of virtue-based talks, activities, discussions and prayer experiences centered around the concept of leadership as self-gift. This retreat will occur within the time frame of the regular school day, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:35 p.m at the new St. Catherine of Siena Parish Center. Buses will depart St. Michael's from the faculty parking lot at 8:15 a.m. and return at approximately 3:35 p.m.
 
Please complete the field trip permission form, and return to Ms. Adrienne Prochaska in class on February 28.

Juniors

Monday, March 4
 
All 11th grade students are expected to use this day to visit a college campus with their families (or friends). Students are required to bring one Permission Form to be signed by college admissions representatives to verify their tour and information session. All colleges have set tour and information session times that require reservations. Please visit the individual school websites ASAP as tours do fill up.
 
The college visit form is available here and can also be found in the College Counseling Office. If there are circumstances that prevent a family from visiting colleges or attending visits with friends, we may have a few spots available on the 9th grade college trip. Students who need to attend the SMCA trip MUST contact me  at shudson@smca.com.
