Time to think about Kindergarten! Children who will turn 5 before 12/31/20, are eligible for Kindergarten for the 20-21 school year.  In the next few weeks, look for information about our special "Keys to Kindergarten" meeting.  Additionally, if you have a child that is eligible for Kindergarten in the fall that DOES NOT attend our PreKindergarten, please submit an application for admission to secure a seat in next year's Kindergarten.   If your child IS enrolled in our PreKindergarten and is age appropriate for Kindergarten for the 2020-21 school year, no application is necessary.  It is assumed your child will continue at SMS for Kindergarten unless we are notified otherwise.






Supporting the Mission - Donations to the SMS Annual Fund can be made online with a credit card!  Click here.  Every donation to the Annual Fund directly benefits the students of St. Mary's School.






It's Time to Order Your Yearbooks!  Don't miss a minute of memories!  The SMS yearbook contains a photo of every student along with candid photos from all major school events.  Yearbooks are $35 each and may be ordered online - click here.  We will also be sending home a paper order form that may be completed and returned to the school office with payment. Our yearbook ID code is 9415320.  Please note that the order deadline is March 27, 2020 and that all yearbooks must be preordered.
