What's the Buzz?
9/5/2023
welcome back
We are so excited to begin another great year here at SMS! Included in this week's Buzz are some quick reminders about the beginning of the school year. Any supplies that weren't brought in already can come in with your child in the morning.
Our opening of school Mass will be Friday morning at 9am and as always, families are welcome.
God Bless,
Mrs. Tris D'Angelo
Snacks & School Meals
Students may bring a bottle of water to drink throughout the day as well. Water bottles with a spout or straw are preferable or any type of lid that may help prevent spills.
Morning Drop Off - 7:30-7:50am
Student drop off will occur at the A4 Entrance. Tomorrow morning Mr. Mangione and Mrs. Genovese will greet the children there. This is a drive up drop off. If you would like to walk your child to the door, please park and proceed carefully to the A4 door, otherwise have them walk close to the school building for safety.
Mr. Reeds and Mrs. Bishop will be greeting students who ride the bus to school and ensuring they get safely into the building and to their classrooms.
Montessori families will need to bring their child into the classroom through the B-1 door for the first week of school. Beginning Monday, 9/11, they will also be entering through the A4 door.

end of day
If you are picking up your child, please use the driveway off of Stahley Rd, and line up around the circle. Please display your number so that we can identify you and call your family number in the school. If you forgot your number or do not still have it from last year, Mr. Mangione will come and ask for your number if he doesn't see it in the window. Your students will be out shortly after he indicates to teachers that you have arrived.
Montessori students and their siblings are dismissed first to the Montessori pick up door, followed by the rest of our students and bus students.
