Dear SMCS Parents,

It was wonderful to see all of you today for Meet the Teacher. I always love seeing how much the students have grown over the summer. I am excited to start the new school year.

I hope you will join us at a Mass this weekend for School Family Weekend at Mass. Students who come in their uniforms will receive a free dress pass for Wednesday, August 24. There will be staff members in the Narthex of the church at each Mass handing out the free dress passes.

Students will not go to Mass the first week of school and dress uniforms will not be needed until the second week of school.

Our spirit days this year are Monday for Lower School Students and Friday for Upper School Students. Lower School students are welcome to wear a spirit shirt on Monday with their uniforms.

On the first day of school, we ask that all students in 1st grade and above get dropped off in the carpool line. Parents may walk students in PK3, PK4, and Kindergarten to the front door of the school. All students will go directly to their classrooms on Monday. We will have staff available in the hallways to help students find their classrooms. We will start having morning assembly on Tuesday, the second day of school.

We are looking forward to a fantastic school year. Have a great weekend! See you on Monday.

Blessings,

Dr. Kathleen Cox

Throughout this school year, in Paw Prints we look forward to sharing stories about how your generous gifts to SMCS make a direct impact. This week, we want to give thanks to a generous SMCS family for making a scholarship gift designated to support tuition assistance for SMCS Faculty’s children. Three staff members’ children were recipients of this generous gift and are very grateful.

If you have a question about making a scholarship donation to SMCS in support of SMCS students’ tuition assistance, please contact Director of Development Laura Dols, ldols@stmichaelcs.org. Thank you for prayerfully supporting SMCS!
