A big Barnyard THANK YOU to Richelle Kerber, Whitney Cardwell, and Jessie Dornak for planning and leading our Bash this year! It was certainly a fabulously fun time for our children, parents and our staff! Your leadership and dedication along with that of your committee is great appreciated. We are grateful for those who sponsored Barnyard Bash and all who supported the event. Our entire SMES community loved celebrating together – thank you from all of us at SMES!
Carpool Reminders
- An arrival by 9:00 ensures each child and their class has time to begin their day or travel together to their first class or experience. Thank you!
- Main Entrance Carpool – To ensure an efficient morning and afternoon carpool line, we kindly ask you to please remember the following steps in the process. With your assistance, our morning and afternoon lines will move more quickly and we will be able to tighten up our timing, Thank you!
- For the mornings, have your children and their belongings ready to hop out with a quick goodbye.
- For the afternoons, once your car is in park, please hop out to be ready to receive your child(ren).
- Please buckle as quickly and safely as possible to be ready to pull forward behind the car in front.
- If you have snacks to share, please pull forward way out of the line to do this so we can keep the line moving and load the next round of students.
SMES Records Release
If your child will be applying out for the 2025-26 school year and the school needs to receive SMES school records, please make sure the prospective school emails Mandy Lohner [email protected].
Teacher evaluations are still emailed directly to your child’s teachers.
Campus Construction Updates
As the SMAA Construction progresses, they are entering a heavy “earth work” phase for the next few weeks. This means that 60-90 trucks per day will be entering the construction zone off Douglas. The trucks will be coming from Northwest Highway and proceeding south on Douglas to take a right into the work areas on campus. This will not impact our south carpool off Colgate (that enters through the red chapel doors) or our west parking lot access points.
