FACTS Online Portal + App


Family Directory, Student Grades, & More

Please make sure all of your information is updated regularly in the FACTS Family Portal including your address, contact information, emergency contacts, and family/friends/guardians who have permission to pick your student(s) up from school.


Saint Mary’s School uses data from FACTS Family Portal to manage important email and text notices including, but not limited to emergencies, school-wide events, and weather related updates. If you are not receiving text or email updates, please verify that your information is up to date on FACTS. If you are still having an issue, please contact Mrs. Bisese, our Admissions Director.


Tuition Payments & Billing

Parents/Guardians will periodically receive emails through FACTS Billing for tuition and other miscellaneous items like field trips and activities throughout the year. If you have any trouble accessing FACTS or have questions about Tuition or Financial Aid, please contact Mrs. Bisese, our Admissions Director. For other Billing questions, please contact our Bookkeeper, Denise Kelly.


Volunteering at SMCS


Service is one of the foundations of our St. Mary's community. We ask each family to complete ten (10) hours of service to our school through classroom support, chaperoning, or volunteering with our amazing PTO. Please visit our Volunteer Hub for information about volunteer requirements, ideas, and FAQ's.


Please also note that any adult volunteering on campus or as a chaperone must meet certain VIRTUS requirements and safety policies. If these are not met and verified by the school ahead of time, the volunteer will not be allowed to participate.


Lunch Orders & Allergy-Aware Campus


Our school does not offer lunch that is prepared and served on campus. Students can bring a lunch or they can pre-order catered lunches from Morrissey’s Catering (Monday through Wednesday) and Pizza Express (Thursday and Friday).


Families wishing to pre-order can purchase lunches through Boonli, our online ordering system. All users must register for a Boonli account. New families may follow these Boonli Account set up instructions. Families already registered with Boonli must sign in and update their account each new school year. Usernames and passwords from the previous school year are still active.


Mrs. Osborne is our Lunch Coordinator and can be reached at SMCSlunch@saintmary.org.


Please remember that our campus is ALLERGY AWARE. We ask that no nuts of any kind be brought into the school for any reason. Foods sent in for snack, lunch, or any class event, including birthday celebrations, should be carefully checked to make sure they are nut-free. Remind children not to share food with other children while at school. This policy extends to snacks, lunches, and special treats. Need snack and treat suggestions?

Clinic Reminders


Parents/Guardians who have School Action Forms and/or Medication Forms to drop off may schedule an appointment prior to the start of school with the clinic nurses.


Please visit our Clinic Corner pages to download all School Health Forms, and forms for Medication Administration and School Action Plans.

Any delay in submitting these forms prior to the first day of school will result in a delayed start for your student.
