Parent / Teacher Group (PTG)

The PTG is comprised of all parents and teachers of St. Michael Academy and St. Michael’s Preschool. An Executive Board of officers is elected every year. The Executive Board acts in an advisory capacity to the Pastor and the Principal for the operation, growth and development of the school.

Parent Involvement Program
Every parent/guardian is expected to be an involved partner in their child’s schooling. To cover the difference between the actual cost to educate one child and the amount of tuition that is assessed for that child, every family is responsible to support the Academy’s fundraising efforts. ALL SMA families are expected to give 25 hours of service (per academic year) to the Academy.
