St. Mary’s Grade School does offer an after school/extended day program for preschool to 6th grade. Students who are not picked up by 2:45 pm will report to the “Keepers” and parents will be billed for services.
Dress Code
St. Mary’s Grade School requires students to be uniformly dressed. Such uniformity facilitates the achievement of many of our value-oriented objectives. Students should take pride in themselves and in the way they think, feel and act. Our dress code is designed to support this objective.
- Please note that some French Toast brand styles do not meet SMS Dress Code requirements.
- Shirt tails must be tucked in at all times. Please make sure shirt tails are not too short.
- Students are permitted to wear SMS Hoodies (gray or navy) to school.
