Expectations at SMSA

Where Learning is Joyful

Our students like coming to school! In our warm, Catholic atmosphere, they learn to appreciate their own gifts and those of others.  In our classrooms, where discipline and respect are the norm, they are free to learn and grow. 

 

Our Student Handbook outlines the policies at SMSA that help create this joyful and safe environment.

PBIS at SMSA

Supporting Positive Behaviors

In order to support our positive atmosphere, St. Mary's Academy uses Positive Interventions Behavioral Supports, or PBIS,  a research-based proactive process in which behaviors and routines that benefit the learning environment are rewarded and reinforced. 

 

Our PBIS motto is, "What would Jesus do?"  This approach establishes the foundation of our classroom relationships each day.
