Two Safety & Security Issues Affecting Schools
The SMCPS Safety and Security Department wanted to inform you of the following school issues.
- The first is a new TikTok challenge regarding electrical outlets. Firefighters have issued warnings about the resurgence of this dangerous challenge. We have already experienced damage to our outlets and light fixtures here at LMS. We are asking for your assistance on the home front to speak to the boys and girls about the dangers to themselves and others.
- The second is Flipper Zero. This device is noted on TikTok and several other sites as the hacker's Swiss Army Knife. It can hack Wifi, create spoof networks, clone car keys, garage door openers, and interfere with cell phones.
More Information About the February Math Competition
The 2024 Southern Maryland Chapter MathCounts competition is being held on Saturday, February 3, 2024, with an inclement weather date of Saturday, February 10th. The competition will be held at Calvert High School located at 520 Fox Run Blvd, Prince Frederick, MD 20678.

This is such exciting news.

And the Leaders Are...
As of the end of Week 5, the leaders of the Academic Bowl are:
- Team 6-1
- Team 7-2
- Team 8-2
There is still time to improve your grades.
Remember, Grade-level teams are competing to be the team with the least total Fs. Each week of the marking period, the team with the least Fs will earn a Jaguar Paw on their team’s trophy poster, which is displayed in the main lobby. The team with the most Jaguar Paws in their trophy will earn bragging rights, an Academic Bowl Champion t-shirt, and a delicious treat at the end of the marking period.
