Dear SMCS Parents,

Thank you for all of your support. It is hard to believe that we only have two weeks before our Christmas Break.

We have lots of fun things going on in the next two weeks: Science Fairs, Spelling Bees, Christmas Pep Rallies, and Christmas Programs.

More information about all of these activities went out this week to parents. If you have any questions, please reach out to your assistant principal.

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

Blessings, 
Dr. Kathleen Cox
CHRISTMAS TRAVEL REMINDERS

If you are planning to travel during the Christmas holidays, please be aware of the requirements for international travel that are listed below. These guidelines were shared in Paw Prints before Thanksgiving and will continue to be shared as a reminder.

International travelers are required to get tested 3 to 5 days after they return to the United States. If your family travels internationally over the holidays, please plan to have to present a negative PCR COVID test before your students will be able to return to school.

Tiger Track to Give Back is our way of giving back to our community! The PLUS Social committee hopes you will enjoy visiting local businesses who have supported St. Michael! Tiger Track Give Back flyers were distributed this week. As you consider your holiday shopping needs, or when deciding on a local restaurant for dine-in or take out, we invite you to visit the businesses on our Tiger Track as St. Michael's way of saying thank you!

Families who shop 5 or more of these businesses earn a free dress pass for your students. At check out, ask for a signature on your Tiger Track. Please turn in your flyer to your homeroom teacher by Monday January 10. Flyers are applicable to the entire family. Help thank these local businesses for supporting SMCS while showing our Tiger Pride by posting your photos on social media and tag St. Michael Catholic School and the local business! #SMCSSUPPORTS
