Bullying and cyberbullying, harassment and intimidation, hazing, and/or bias behaviors are unsafe behaviors that do not reflect respect for others as defined by Policy 10.16 on STUDENT CONDUCT – BULLYING, HARASSMENT OR INTIMIDATION . If a student is a target of one of these behaviors, you can report it using the Bullying, Harassment, or Intimidation Reporting Form (linked below).

The form is also available at all schools, in the main office and the school’s counseling office. Students can also report issues directly to a staff member. When a situation that involves any of these behaviors is reported, staff members will respond quickly and will provide a practical, private, and safe place to report.

The Talbot County Health Department is offering COVID Vaccine Clinics for children ages 5-11. For more information and to make an appointment for an upcoming clinic visit:

https://health.maryland.gov/talbotcounty/Pages/vaccinechildren.aspx

The Health Department has received a limited supply of vaccines for the 5-11 age group. There are doses for 150 children to be vaccinated in this first "wave". There are approximately 2600 children in this age group in Talbot County.

The clinic is open to all Talbot County Public School students. If you have multiple children in different schools you can register them for the same flu clinic, it does not have to be the one designated to their school. Please make sure when you are registering that you pick the correct link below.

The Middle School and High School clinics will be held during the school day. If you select one of those clinics then your child will receive their vaccination during school hours.

The Elementary School clinics will be held after school and a parent/guardian must be present for the vaccination.

You must register your child for one of the flu clinics in order for them to receive the vaccination. If you have any questions about the flu vaccine or clinics please contact the Health Department at 410-819-5600.
