Friday Fun Day for Toddlers and Twos!
Students in our Toddlers and Twos classes are invited to join their teacher on Fridays for a morning filled with activities, play and fun. Friday Fun Days are 8:45-11:45 and the cost is $45.
To maintain each cohort for the entire week and not commingle students from different classes, Monday/Wednesday classes will have the opposite Fridays of the Tuesday/Thursday classes available to sign up for.
We will serve a morning snack and children will not eat lunch at school on Fridays.

Health Forms due by first day of school, September 9
You can find the forms on our website under the parents tab/parent handbook & resources or by clicking here:
https://www.smesdallas.org/uploads/images/health-care-professional-statement-20-21_152.pdf.
The healthcare professional statement must be signed by the physician (highlighted in yellow). You can obtain a copy of the physician's vaccination record instead of filling out the state licensing health requirement form that is attached to the health statement form. Please remember licensing requires a physician's signature on BOTH the vaccination record AND on the health statement form.
In addition, if your child is 4 years old by September 1, please submit their vision/hearing screening report that was performed at their 4-year wellness checkup.
You may email the forms to mlohner@smesdallas.org or turn in to the school at our new Colgate entrance. We can meet you at the door to receive them. Thank you!

REMINDER - New School Start Date, September 9!
The adjusted start of school for SMES is now Wednesday, September 9. The first two (2) days of school will be "soft start” days for all children in an effort to provide a more comfortable and smoother transition for everyone back to campus after such an extended time away. On September 9 and 10, our school day will end at 11:45 am. Friday, September 11 will remain the normal schedule of dismissing at 11:45. We will begin regular school days on Monday, September 13.
Additional Information
As mentioned in the recent SMES email communication, the implications for health and safety matters from the Dallas County Health and Human Services were considered for SMES as a religious private school. Given our flexibility as to the impact of a Dallas County directive on SMES, we have delayed our start date by four days.
If you have a questions and are not sure who to send it to, please email us at information@smesdallas.org. We will ensure we answer you in a timely manner!
