Dear SMES Families,
Dear SMES Families,
Here are a few updates for the week:
I hope you have all enjoyed this beautiful fall weekend.
This week, we are celebrating public education through American Education Week. Please see the flyer below for the activities and learning throughout the week.
SMES PTO is sponsoring Santa's Workshop to be held on 12/21. On this date, each class will take turns visiting the art room (which is transformed into a winter wonderland.) Each child will shop for two family members. SMES PTO is looking for holiday store items to be donatedWe are asking you to dig through your closets for gently used items. They are also requesting donations of wrapping paper, gift bags, gift tags and grocery bags. There will be a box located in the school lobby where you can drop off your donations. If you are able to help on the day of the event, please sign up HERE.
As a reminder, our regular policy is in effect. Please take a moment to review the TCPS Attendance Policy. Please pay particular attention to the following details and reach out with any questions:
- Students are marked late if they arrive after 7:50 a.m.
