Dear SMCS Families,
It is hard to believe that we are already at the end of July. Thank you for your continued support and patience during this constantly changing time.
Last week, I shared with you the latest draft of our reopening plan. Our plan continues to grow and change as the guidelines are revised. Our plan follows the guidelines from TCCBED which can be viewed
here
. I want to highlight some of the changes and revisions that have been made, and our plan is available to view
here.
-
All students in 1st-8th grade will be required to wear masks, and all students in PK3-Kindergarten are encouraged to wear masks. (Per TCCBED guidelines) More information about masks can be found on p. 2 and p. 6 of our reopening plan.
-
Personal Space Dividers have been purchased for all students in grades PK4-8th grade. Click
here
to see a picture of what it looks like.
-
Each classroom will have its own air purifier.
-
Hand washing stations have been purchased to be placed outside for students to wash their hands after recess.
As a reminder, we will offer remote learning for families who do not feel comfortable sending their students to school in person. More information about remote learning is available
here.
Please click
here t
o fill out a form to request to start school with remote learning. If you choose for your student to begin the year with remote learning, this choice will be binding for the first quarter which ends on October 30. Remote learning requests must be completed by
Friday, August 7.
Students who begin school in person may not change to remote learning without a medical reason.
Here is some additional information about back to school activities:
For students in PK3-1st grade, parents are invited to stay with their students. Masks are required for all adults and for all students who were in Kindergarten-7th grade in the 2019-2020 school year.
(These events will follow proper social distancing and safety protocols.)
-
PK3 and PK4 Students with parents: Thursday, August 27th from 12:30-1:00 pm in the courtyard and on the bleachers. Please enter through the sallyport gate.
The updated school calendar with the Tuesday, September 1 start date can be viewed

Thank you again for your patience and support. We will continue to send out updates and information as they become available.
Blessings,
Dr. Kathleen Cox
