The move from elementary school to St. Mary's Academy is one of the real milestones in a student's formation, and parents feel it just as much as the kids do. Ready Together: Academy Parents is a seven-episode series built specifically for families navigating grades 6–8 at St. Mary's Academy, covering everything from summer expectations, new student orientation, the FACTS system, first-day routines and how to stay connected to your student's school life throughout the year. This series takes seriously that the transition to middle school is a big one, and it meets parents where they are with warmth, honesty, and practical guidance grounded in the Light of Christ mission. The goal is simple: that every Academy family walks into the school year with confidence, not questions they were afraid to ask.
