SMCPS 2022 Budget
Vision and Hearing Screenings
For the remainder of the year, all 8th graders attending classes at Margaret Brent Middle School will participate in the State-mandated vision and hearing screenings.
All COVID-19 prevention strategies will be followed, including social distancing, mask-wearing, and hand sanitizing.
Please remind your child to wear their glasses or contacts to school as prescribed each and every day.
We do have access to vision assistance services if certain qualifications are met (see VSP link below). Contact the school nurses if interested in a certificate. This is available to all MBMS students, Virtual or Hybrid.

A Year to Remember
Portrait Pictures
Exciting news about the yearbook! This year, using cutting-edge new technology, all of you are invited to share your 10 favorite photos of the school year. When the yearbook comes out, you’ll be able to scan the portraits in the printed book using your phone and digitally unlock each student’s 10 favorite pics they submitted. Plus, you can add photos to a variety of School Life topics. Check out how it works with these two videos:
Video One: How it Works!
Video Two: We Need Your Portraits!
Upload yours today at ybkplus.com!
Please Note: Please make sure you are using your parent email. This is the email the school would have on file. Also make sure you are checking your junk/spam folder when retrieving your verification code. Only parents will be able to get a verification code to upload pictures for students between grades K-8.
Looking to buy your yearbook? Be sure to purchase this special volume before copies run out! Order Here!
We will not be having a company come out for traditional portraits this year so it is important that you are uploading a portrait of your child to be placed in the yearbook.
Please reach out to Mrs. Kamp if you have any questions or concerns.
