Return to School Response Form
The Fall 2020 Return to School Response Forms is posted at tinyurl.com/SMCPSreturn2020 - This survey is linked on each school website and provides important information about your student's return to school this fall.
With the change of return dates:
- If you have already completed the form and you are not changing your response, you do not need to complete it again.
- If you have already completed the form and you are changing your response, please complete the form again.
- If you have not completed the form - please do so.
These forms provide important information to help plan appropriately for the students returning to school for each phase.
