New Families

Our Explorers and Seekers program is regulated by Child Care Licensing, a division of the state of Texas Department of Health and Human Services. As such, parents are required to complete the state’s Admission Information Form 2935, read and sign Parents’ Rights Form 2987, which highlights parent rights to review certain information relating to the Explorers and Seekers program, and complete the Water Activity Permission Form. Please note that Admission Information Form 2935 requires your child’s health care provider’s signature in several places.

These forms are due to St. Mark's no later than August 1.

All other required school forms are now available in the portal.

All requirements for your child's health records will be shared with you through our Summer News email newsletter. All students must have a complete record in Magnus Health, our health software, by Friday, August 1, including forms that require both a doctor's and a parent/guardian’s signature.

If you have any questions, please contact our School Nurse, Sarah Beckmann.

Our Explorers and Seekers are not required to wear uniforms, but should wear play clothes that can get dirty, as they play outside many times each day. Please refrain from sending your child in a onesie or outfits that have multiple snap closures to allow for quick diaper changes and a speedy return to play.

Uniforms are required for students in the Preschool 3s through 8th grade. St. Mark's has 2 uniform vendors: Flynn O'Hara and Lands' End (school number: 900181900). Once you click on our school in either site, it will ask you your child's gender and grade and automatically populate with the required items for daily and chapel uniforms. You may also buy your student spirit wear for spirit dress Fridays and outerwear at our spirit store.

We hold used uniform sales throughout the school year, where parents may purchase gently used uniforms.
