THE EVERGREEN EXPRESS
EVERGREEN ELEMENTARY-FAMILY CONNECTION
April 14, 2024
Greetings Evergreen Families,
To our military students, thank you for your strength and all the sacrifices you make so the adults in your family can keep our country safe. Please join us in wearing PURPLE on April 19th to show our support for our military families.
For the next two months, we will be conducting the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) testing in the 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade. You will get notification from homeroom teachers for specific dates.
The Board of Education approved an amendment to the 2023-2024 SMCPS Operational Calendar. The revised calendar posted to www.smcps.org/calendar. As a result of the fact that SMCPS did not use any of its inclement weather days built into the calendar, the final day for the 2023-2024 school year has been adjusted.
The final day for students will be Friday, June 7, 2024.
The final day for 10-month staff will be Tuesday, June 11, 2024
The final day for 11-month staff will be Monday, June 24, 2024.
Spring individual and class pictures are scheduled for April 15th. Sharing available ordering information.: https://onlineorders.classicphoto.com/ Access Key: 8LW83EJB
Friendly reminder we end the week with an early dismissal starting at 1:45.
There will not be an issue of The Evergreen Express on April 21st.
Respectfully,
Principal Fowler

ST. MARY’S COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS’ PRE-KINDERGARTEN 4 APPLICATION
St. Mary’s County Public Schools (SMCPS) will begin to accept Pre-Kindergarten 4 Applications on Thursday, April 11, 2024. The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future allows for families with children who are 4 years old on or before September 1, 2024, to apply for full-day Pre-Kindergarten. All families are welcome to apply; however, income is the primary qualifier for eligibility. Families with an annual income at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) or families that are experiencing homelessness are deemed income eligible and will be accepted first. All applications will be screened and identified on a System of Tiers.
The SMCPS website, www.smcps.org, has information and guidance for completing the 2024-2025 Pre-Kindergarten Application.
