The Saints Scoop
Information and Updates for SMES Families: June 6, 2021
A Special Message from Mr. Baum!
Due to the current social distancing guidelines at TCPS, we will not be having a traditional Field Day at SMES. I did, however, put a Virtual Field Day onto my Frog page. Simply scroll down once on the page and you will find all of the activities (look for the boat icon like the one above). If you scroll down and see a silly picture of Mr. Baum, you have scrolled a little too far.
If you have the time, give these activities a try this Wednesday, June 9. If that date doesn’t work for you, the activities will be up on Mr. Baum’s Frog page until the end of the school year.
If you would like to take some photos of your student and any and all families members and/or friends who participate, please send the photos to my email: kbaum@talbotshools.org. I will post them on our SMES Saints Facebook page.
Hopefully next year things will get somewhat back to normal and I will plan a huge Field Day bash to celebrate!
Thank you for a wonderful, albeit quite different school year. We can get through anything together because SMES is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
Your Pal,
Mr. Baum
UPDATES AND REMINDERS:
All students will need to turn in their TCPS issued iPad and charger. iPad collection will be as follows:
- Virtual Pre-K: the week of June 14th (Return iPads and chargers to the SMES main office.)
- In-person Pre-K-5: All in-person iPads will be collected by their teachers. If a TCPS technician or service contractor deems that damage caused to equipment was the result of neglect or malicious intent, parents will be notified and may be responsible for the cost of repair.
- K-5 Virtual students will need to drop off their iPads and chargers to the front office either on 6/16 or 6/17.
- As we approach the end of the 20-2021 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!
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, she will schedule registration appointments as needed through the end of the school year.
