Inclement Weather
With weather delays and cancellations coming too
quickly, please be advised that Saint Michael
School will make an independent decision on
whether to delay or cancel school. This is not
decided by our surrounding public schools. Parents
will be notified through our Blackboard alert
system, KDKA TV, and on the Youngstown TV
channels. If your phone number has changed, please
call the office immediately so we can update our
system.

When Saint Michael School is on a 2 hour delay
and your home school district is not, please do not

the parent to bring their child to school. However,
when SMS and other school districts are on a 2
hour delay, the bus system will pick up your child at
the adjusted time.
