Saint Michaels Elementary School

What Saint Michaels Elementary School does

St. Michael School is a Catholic elementary school operating under the authority of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester and affiliated with St. Michael Church / Our Lady of the Lakes parish in Penn Yan, New York. Founded in 1882, it serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in a single-campus setting at 214 Keuka Street. The school delivers faith-based elementary education integrating religious formation with academic instruction, supplemented by extracurricular and seasonal programming including a Summer Camp, Summer Reading Challenge, Fall Soccer registration, and an annual Science Fair for grades 5-8.

The school's product portfolio centers on its core academic program and a usage-based Activity Center (before- and after-school care) operating 7:00-8:30 a.m. and 3:00-5:30 p.m. on school days, with hourly fees of $5.00 for one child, $7.50 for two, and $8.00 for three. Administrative and family-facing technology is built on third-party SaaS platforms: RenWeb for online enrollment and student records, FACTS for tuition management and financial aid processing, and Clever for single sign-on access to digital learning resources. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or public-facing API is documented.

The business model is recurring tuition as the primary revenue stream, with annual rates set per the upcoming academic year schedule and managed through FACTS. Secondary revenue streams include hourly before/after-school care fees (usage-based), fundraising events such as Turkey Trot 5K, Bike the Bluff, and Cash Bash (with families expected to participate in at least two per year), and seasonal catalog/product sales. Go-to-market relies on a Family Ambassador Program, PTO referrals, community word-of-mouth, the school's website and virtual tour, and organized open-house events; families apply online through RenWeb with annual registration opening January 24. Operating governance rests with the Diocese and parish; daily operations are led by Principal Dr. Tracy A. Marchionda.
