Dear SMCS Parents,

It was wonderful to see you today at Meet the Teacher. The teachers and staff were excited to see their students and visit with you.

We are looking forward to an awesome school year. Please keep your eye out for information about our Back to School Nights. We will have these events in-person the week of September 13. On Tuesday, September 14, we will have upper school and on Thursday, September 16, we will have lower school. More information will be sent out soon.

The COVID protocols for the start of school are included below and are also available to view on our school website. We will start the school year with all students, staff, visitors/volunteers wearing masks while inside.

Thank you for your continued support. Have a great weekend!

Blessings, 
Dr. Kathleen Cox

Getting Ready for the First Day of School:
Things to Practice

  • Buckling and unbuckling car seats: Having your young children practice buckling and unbuckling their car seats themselves prior to the start of school will ensure that your child can do this on their own and will help the carpool line stay moving. 

  • Wearing masks: If your child is not already accustomed to wearing a mask or wearing a mask for an extended period of time, we encourage you to begin practicing now. All students must be wearing masks in the carpool line before their door is opened. 
 
  • Hand washing: All students will be required to wash their hands frequently and thoroughly. While our teachers will lead lessons in proper hand-washing techniques, developing that routine and habit now will help support this process.
