Hello Parents and Guardians,
As I am sure you have noticed winter weather is now upon us! Please keep in mind students are still going to be playing outside at recess even when it’s a little chilly. Recess helps improve concentration, physical activity, and gives students a much needed break! Please try your best to be sure your students are wearing weather appropriate clothes to school. Warm jackets, hats, mittens, and pants are all strongly recommended! Please contact me if you need anything at all.
Thanks so much!
Alicia Briggs, MSN RN

Please review laptop expectations by sharing this presentation with your child. Classroom teachers will be reviewing laptop expectations with students at school as well. Thank you!
Need to purchase a laptop charger?
You can do one of two things:
1. Email your child's teacher or the Library Media Specialist Miss Hazuda (sjhazuda@smcps.org) that you wish to pay for the missing laptop charger. A fine then can be assessed so that you can pay using My School Bucks, sending in cash, or a check (made out to SMCPS).
OR
2. Go directly to the DELL store. You can purchase directly from their website and have it shipped to your home.
Ensure one of these links is being used:
www.dell.com/mpp/smcps (click Shop Recommended Solutions to get to the discounted power cords)
www.dell.com/mpp/smcps-chargers (leads directly to the purchasing portal)
If you purchase from Dell, please make sure that you label the charger with the student's first and last name before sending it to school. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher or the Library Media Specialist Miss Hazuda (sjhazuda@smcps.org).
