Students are expected to be in the classroom when the bell rings at the beginning of each period. If a student is tardy for the first class of the day, he/she must report to the school office to receive a pass to class. A tardy for reasons other than an appointment are unexcused. A discipline referral will be made for each tardy. Students who incur five tardies during the semester will receive a verbal warning. For the sixth and each subsequent tardy, the student will serve a detention.

Parents are no longer required to call the office to excuse a tardy for reasons other than an appointment. Tardiness for other reasons (i.e. traffic, oversleeping, forgotten lunches, homework or gym clothes, etc.) are unexcused.

SMCS Food Service provides lunch including ala carte items every day that school is in session. You may access the Free/Reduced Lunch Forms on our website. Please do not hesitate to take advantage of this program if you qualify. It saves you money and provides us with reimbursement.

Please monitor your child's lunch account carefully and discuss with him/her what their lunch/snack budget is. Lunch is not free this year and with extra purchases, lunch funds can deplete quickly. Students are not allowed to purchase lunch or ala carte items if they have a negative balance.

Food Service accepts credit card payments for payment on your child(s) food service bill. Please note that there is a 3% service charge for this convenience. Follow this link to get started: https://tcces.ejoinme.org/SMCSLunchPayments. You will receive an email confirmation once the transaction is completed.

All traffic enters the campus using the south driveway. THIS IS A ONE-WAY ROUTE. Please DO NOT exit this way. Guests during the school day should use the FRONT parking area.

If you are dropping off students before school, turn into LANE ONE behind school and drop your child off at the back McClone Gym entrance. In an effort to keep this zone free for a drop off area, students are not allowed to park in lane one during school hours. Students should park in the LANES TWO OR THREE and park within the marked stalls. (See diagram below.)

As you exit the campus, use the north traffic lane and north exit lanes onto Cold Spring Road (traffic also flows one way out). Please use only one lane when exiting. Always yield to pedestrians at the crosswalk and exiting buses.
