Dear SMCS Families,

I hope you are safe and well. Thank you for your continued support during this very busy time. We have been watching the weather very closely. In response to the activity in the Gulf, the school will close at noon tomorrow, August 26, and be closed through Thursday, August 27. We hope to be able to return to campus on Friday, August 28.

In order to give teachers adequate time to prepare, we are going to move Meet the Teacher to Tuesday, September 1. Our first day of school will now be on Wednesday, September 2.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility. I will let you know if something changes. 

Stay safe and well. See you soon.

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.
We can not wait to see everyone next week!
