Information and Updates for SMES Families: May 16, 2021
UPDATES AND REMINDERS:
- SMES will be highlighted at this month's TCPS Board meeting. I will be sharing the project based learning in our 3rd grade! Mrs. Regan and third grade students helped to prepare the video I will be sharing. You may tune in this Wednesday at 6pm for the work session HERE!
- As we approach the end of the 202021 school year, it is time to send in any SMES Library books! We will begin taking inventory this week. Please return any that may be in students' rooms, book bags, and other places library books hide!
- For those who are interested, the Out of Area form will only be available from April 1-June 1. The County will not accept late applications. All students must reapply each year and placement is not guaranteed. The online form can be found on the TCPS website or by following this link: https://www.tcps.k12.md.us/search?search_paths%5B%5D=&query=out+of+area+request&submit=Search
Check out this Title 1 Parent Resource page for resources and school-wide information!
- If you have a student that you plan to enroll at SMES for next school year, please call 410-745-2882 and ask for Mrs. Breeding. Although the countywide registration dates have passed, I will schedule registration appointments as needed through the end of the school year.
