Preschool and PreK students do not wear uniforms but should wear comfortable play clothes and shoes suitable for the weather. Sandals need a back strap. No flip-flops for safety on the playground and to prevent tripping.

Beginning in September most Mondays throughout the school year will be “Martyr Mondays”. On these days, students can wear a “spirit” sweatshirt/T-shirt purchased through the 8th grade fundraiser or another approved SSM spirit top (including: Martyr Marathon t-shirts, SSM sports camps/team shirts/jerseys, VBS shirts). Students will wear uniform bottoms, socks and shoes. We will inform you ahead of time if it is a regular uniform day or an earned dress down day (Holy Days, special events, incentive/rewards, etc.).
