SMES Saints Scoop
Updates and Reminders: October 3, 2021
Dear SMES Families,
Dear SMES Families,
Hello and happy October! Please remember to scroll to the bottom of the newsletter each week to see the community events and programs available to students and families.
As we continue to navigate through the Covid pandemic, I will keep you informed with updates. Please see the TCPS chart and with this link that shows Covid cases and quarantined students by TCPS school.
If your children show any signs of illness there are three basic options:
1) Stay home for 10 days, may return with no fever for 24 hours and resolution of symptoms
2) Get tested, return with proof of negative PCR test result and resolution of symptoms
3) See a doctor and get a differential diagnosis/note and have no fever for 24 hours and resolution of symptoms
If your child is deemed a close contact, you will receive a call from the school, as well as a quarantine letter from the Talbot County Health Department that outlines the dates of your child's quarantine, information about Covid testing, and a return to school date. You may reach out to our school nurse, Tracy Batley, with any questions you may have (tbatley@talbotschools.org). If your child has to quarantine, work will be provided and your child's teacher will check in/provide office hours as needed. We will continue to use enhanced cleaning procedures and follow TCPS protocols to ensure student and staff safety.
Thank you to SMES Staff and PTO for a successful Fall Book Fair!
TODAY is the last call for SPIRIT WEAR! The online shop will be open through today, October 3rd. Please visit https://www.chinchecksportslocker.com/smes-2021 and place your order today! PTO is anticipating a delivery date in the beginning of November.
