Mod System Do's and Dont's
Welcome to the St. Mary’s Mod system! We’re incredibly excited about our student-centered curriculum and calendar. We’d like to a share a few tips, the do’s and don’ts, so to speak, that will help you better understand our Mod system and maximize your student’s experience at St. Mary’s.
Do's
- Pay attention to the school calendar to see when inter-module breaks take place. St. Mary’s is calendared out for the next three years.
- Make sure you meet with a St. Mary’s representative to plan out your class schedule.
- Use the inter-module breaks to take family trips. Most inter-mod breaks are four or five days in length and the usual two weeks for Christmas and Spring breaks are still in place.
- Choose challenging classes and embrace the opportunity to take classes outside of your comfort zone. Challenge yourself!
- Recognize how many class choices you have.
- Complete a schedule ahead of your schedule meetings with Ms. Klecan, Mr. Bernard, or Mr. Meyer.
- Do consider your sports/extracurricular schedule when filling out your seven mod class schedule.
- Do embrace the awesome opportunity that our Mod system represents!
Don'ts
- Take a vacation during the course of a mod. There is plenty of time during intermod breaks and during summer and spring breaks for family vacations. Missing school for a trip during school will jeopardize a student’s chance of earning credit from graduation.
