Our school Open House is TONIGHT from 5:30pm-7:00pm! If you know of any family who has an incoming Kindergartner or other children and they are looking for a school for the 2023-2024 school year, this is a perfect time for them to come and see what St. Martin of Tours has to offer! We will have tour guides on hand that can walk any new families around and school staff will be on hand to answer any questions. You can pass on the school phone number to anyone – 513-661-7609 – and folks are welcome to call us and get more information.

As a reminder, for weather related or emergency closures, you will see St. Martin of Tours on all the local TV stations and, you will receive a One Call Now email, voicemail, and text (if you are opted-in). St. Martin of Tours does NOT follow any other school district – school administration decides on delays or closures. The goal is to make any formal call for delay or cancellation of school by 5:00am. When there is inclement weather, please DO NOT call the school office for information. If school is closed, no one will be in the office and, conversely, if school is open, the office is not fully staffed until around 7:15am, so there may not be anyone available to answer your call.

Enrollment for all of our current families begins today. Please make sure to send all re-enrollment forms back to the office as soon as possible!

Thank you for all you do!
