We, the Saint Margaret’s Catholic School Community, are dedicated to inspiring faith, achieving academic excellence, and nurturing all students to form strong moral character and values.

The entire staff at Saint Margaret’s School embraces the Gospel values of love of God and service to humankind, formation in the Catholic Faith and moral principles, and the development of personal integrity and character.  We believe the center of Christian Life is based in a strong parental involvement in the lives of the children, supported by dedicated teachers and staff. We affirm the dignity and uniqueness of each human person and strive to create an environment that nurtures and encourages the academic, spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, emotional, and social development of each student.

With Christ as our center, we, the faculty at St. Margaret’s Catholic School, are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the children entrusted to our loving care.

For detailed admissions requirements, tuition information, policies, schedules, processes, uniform dress code, etc., please consult our Parent Handbook.

Staff is available to schedule tours and answer questions for any prospective student’s family. When appropriate, St. Margaret’s will admit students at any time during the year.

St. Margaret’s does not discriminate on the basis of race, color or national and ethnic origin. Students are not required to be Catholic to attend St. Margaret’s.

New families seeking to enroll a child are asked to participate in a selection committee interview conducted by the principal. In addition, families must meet admission criteria related to participation, age, behavior and academic performance. See page 6 of the Parent Handbook for specifics.

St. Margaret’s is committed to the safety of our students. Throughout the year we practice various drills for different safety situations. Our doors are secure during the instructional day and the front door is monitored with video and intercom. During the 2018/19 School Year a security camera system is being installed to further boost security.

Age appropriate, Diocesan Approved instruction is provided to all grades (with parental consent). This training teaches students about the dignity God has given them and helps students identify inappropriate behaviors and steps to take to stay safe and how to report actions that make them uncomfortable.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cheyenne and St. Margaret’s Catholic School require ALL adult staff members and volunteers involved in school activities (including parents) are required to submit to a background check, conducted through the Diocese of Cheyenne. They are also required to attend Safe Environment Training and to pass a test on the material. To read more on The Diocese of Cheyenne’s Safe Environment Policies, click here.

We believe that a child is best educated as a whole person: mind, body and spirit. Therefore, every day begins with Morning Prayer as a school community. Weekly Mass, daily religious instruction and prayer are infused into all our activities and academics.

For more information on our curriculum, consult page 7 in our Parent Handbook.

We are partners in a child’s education and what is taught during the instructional day must be reinforced at home to be effective. Therefore, we expect and encourage the involvement of our students’ families in the classroom when possible and with various activities throughout the year.

Each Preschool and single-parent family is required to give 15 hours of volunteer time during the school year and 30 hours are expected from all other families. We also understand the reality of family situations and will make exceptions when necessary.

The St. Margaret’s School PTO meets throughout the year to plan fundraisers, fun nights, and other activities. Parents receive volunteer hours for participation.

The success of our school is dependent upon dedicated, involved parents.  The PTO is very active in planning Catholic School Week activities, family nights, and field trips.  Fundraisers include the annual Christmas wreath and trees sales and the annual spring dinner dance.  Parents are encouraged to be frequent visitors to the school and always welcome.

PTO meetings will be announced in the Week-at-a-Glance sent home each week with your student.
