Wednesday: Celebrating our Families! Catholic Values and Technology (6-8p). This presentation with Paul Sanfrancesco will be for two groups. Between 6-7p will be geared toward parents of children in grades K-5. The second hour is intended for students and their parents in grades 6-8.

Re-enrollment for the 2021/22 school year is now active. Current families must complete the form linked below to confirm their child's place in the grade for next school year. We are committed to the families currently attending SMM, and want to ensure your child's place is secure. Due to the level of interest in all grades at our
school, we require all current students, grades PK3 thru 7th grade, to re-enroll during the re-enrollment period.
The re-enrollment period is open from October 30th to December 4th. After December 4th, we cannot guarantee your child's space will remain open.
In an effort to streamline the process, SMM will now be processing the re-enrollment fee through FACTS. There is a $100 fee per family. $50 of this fee will be credited
toward your 2021 tuition. You must authorize the payment be added to your FACTS account to confirm
your commitment to your child's placement. Re-enrollment invoices will be sent in January.
If you are not planning to return to SMM for the 2021/22 school year, or have questions about admissions, please
email Cassie DiSabatino at [email protected]

Hi everyone, SMM's School Counselor, Mrs. Bocanegra! Are you still confused about what Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is? You are not alone! I will be sharing a video next week during Discover Catholic Schools Week and would love to answer your SEL questions in it. Please email any you have to me at [email protected] by this Monday, November 9, 2020 so that I can include them in my video. Please do not hesitate to ever ask any questions you may have SEL or not! Thank you! Have a great day! Mrs. Bocanegra
