Important Notes for the Week of October 3, 2022
Please mark your calendar for the following events:
- Title I Reading Night October 18 from 5:00-6:30 pm RSVP required and dinner will be served (MISSION BBQ- you will not want to miss this!!!) RSVP HERE.
- Picture Day is November 4th
Our schools are heavily impacted with federally-connected students – those parents/guardians who work on federal property in Maryland, live on federal property in Maryland, and/or are active duty military personnel. Because of this impact, we receive federal grant funds to operate and maintain our schools and enrich school programs. To receive these funds, the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) requires us to survey each student to determine eligibility.
SMCPS is encouraging all parents/guardians to please take the time to access and complete the Impact Aid Survey Form online, located in the Home Access Center (HAC). Once logged in, directions to access the online form can be found HERE. A video with instructions is available HERE. The form can now be accessed in Spanish by clicking on the Globe in the top right-hand corner once the form has been started. The deadline for the online submission of Impact Aid Program Survey forms is November 14, 2022.
We have started our first round of field trips. Anyone that would like to chaperone must register to be a volunteer through the School Volunteer Portal. Beginning this year, volunteers must apply annually for approval. The application process will run from August 1 to May 1. This process takes time and cannot be completed the morning of a field trip.
If you need to change how your child is getting home, families must let the office and teacher know prior to 2:45.
