SMCA Communication Plan - Our School Communication Plan has been developed to provide parents with necessary contact phone numbers, email addresses, and the names of the particular employees at SMCA that can assist you with specific issues or questions that may arise during the school year. Additionally, please review the Conference Request Form that can be printed out and submitted to your child's teacher or the office whenever you need to schedule a Parent Conference.

Before and after care services - Before and after care is available onsite during the school year on a monthly basis. To attend before or after care or for more information, please review the registration form and SMCA Before/After Care Handbook.
Volunteer Opportunities- Attached you will find many ideas to fullfill your required volunteer hours for the 2011-2012 school year. Volunteers must be available to follow instructions given by the teacher and focus all of their attention on the students or task at hand. Thus, arrangements should be made for younger children to be cared for at home. Visiting the school for events and activities is different than volunteering. Parents are welcome to bring younger children to school to watch plays, parades, celebrations, etc. These "visits" do not earn volunteer time.
Parent Volunteer Co-op: The Parent Volunteer Co-Op is a collaborative effort of SMCA parents focused on fostering the success of our school and its projects. Please watch for announcements on SIS to find out how you can become involved as an active parent and make a difference for our students.
