Updates and Reminders: September 19, 2021
Dear SMES Families,
Dear SMES Families,
This Friday, September 24 is our PTO Back to School Picnic. If you are able to donate snacks, please sign up HERE. See the flyer below and meet us on the playground for lots of family fun!
September 27th-October 1st is the Fall Book Fair! We rely on parent volunteers to help with the book fair, so please sign up to help using THIS LINK.
Classes will be visiting the Book Fair during their regularly scheduled Media class time. Please check with your child (or their teacher) to find out their class day/time if you would like your volunteer slot to be during that same time. Volunteers will be eligible for the $25 Volunteer Raffle, coordinated by Mr. Manley, volunteer coordinator.
For additional information about volunteering in the school, please see the information below and contact Mr. Manley (eric.manley@talbotschools.org) with questions!
Finally, TCPS follows strict guidance from the Talbot County Health Department on quarantine procedures when a student is sick or exhibits Covid-19 symptoms. Those guidelines are linked here. Unfortunately, some SMES to quarantine in our first few weeks of school. If your student is required to quarantine, our school nurse, Tracy Batley, will contact you and explain the health guidelines. Next, your student's teacher/s will compile the assignments to be completed during the absence and reach out to let you know when they are ready to be picked up at the school. Your student will also be issued their school iPad to access educational resources and learning tasks.
We want all of our students in school each day and will continue to reinforce mask wearing, frequent hand washing and sanitizing hands and surfaces. Please be sure to keep your child home if they are not feeling well and let the school nurse and your child's teacher know (Nurse- tbatley@talbotschools.org). In addition, please make sure you send a parent or doctor's note if your child is absent for any reason.
Thank you for your continued support Do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions. (ibullock@talbotschools.org, 410-745-2882)
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Bullock, Proud Principal
