Our 8th grade dance will be held on May 13th. This dance has traditionally been a very special event for our students as they prepare to leave middle school and is only successful due to the support and efforts of our parents. We especially rely on parents of 6th and 7th graders to help chaperone. If you would like to contribute ideas, time, or materials for the 8th grade dance, please contact Kristin Meise (krmeise@gmail.com).

Please be sure your child's Chromebook, case, and charger are returned the week of June 5. This letter contains more specific information. Thank you!

Hot weather is approaching; please remind your student to bring their water daily. We have water refill stations available. This will help avoid those headaches due to lack of water and help keep your child well-hydrated throughout the day.

Do not send your child to school with symptoms or a diagnosis of a contagious illness. Such as a temperature > 100.4, vomiting, diarrhea, pink eye, strep, flu, and Covid diagnosis & follow up with your physician for guidance. Allergy season is also upon us; please, contact your child's physician for any symptoms of concern.

* All medications must be picked up by Thursday, June 8th, by the parent/guardian before the last day of school. Any medications remaining after 12:00 pm on June 8th will be destroyed per QACPS policy.

QACPS & Md State policy: QACPS students may not attend school unless they have submitted an official immunization record or other appropriate documentation. This immunization record or other documentation must contain the month and year of each vaccination and the signature of a physician or health department official. The building administrator or his designee must approve the submitted documentation.

Please, don't wait until the last minute. ALL 7th graders require proof supplied to the school nurse of one Tdap & and MCV4 vaccine to attend QACPS. Contact your pediatrician for accurate and complete shot records or to make an appointment to receive the required vaccines. This is due BEFORE your child returns to school next year per QACPS & Md State requirements.

Don't hesitate to contact the support services team as needed. Student Support staff includes school nurses, guidance counselors, pupil personnel workers, mental health coordinators, and school psychologists. Thank you for being so helpful in supporting your children's StMS & QACPS health services. Health matters!
