SMES Risse Brothers Uniform List

All students enrolled in a PreK or Kindergarten class wear uniforms to school every day. We ask that you please read through these guidelines carefully so that all are informed as to the details of these policies.

Risse Brothers is our uniform provider https://www.rissebrothers.com/ and you can purchase uniforms online or in-store at their Dallas location. Risse Brothers provides 10% of all sales for the year back to our school.
