MCAP Assessment Schedules
All students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 will be assessed in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) provides information to educators, families and the public on student progress towards proficiency on the Maryland state content standards.
We encourage students to come on-time and remain all day. Students who arrive once a testing session has begun cannot enter class until the session has ended. The schedule for each grade level is pictured below.
Do you want to know what taking the English Language Arts/Literacy portion of the MCAP assessment is like? Practice tests for each grade level of the assessment are available.

SMCPS Budget Approval Process
There will be a public hearing at 6:30 pm on April 23, 2024 at Great Mills High School, prior to the final decisions made by the CSMC about how much funding will be allocated to the public school system. All are encouraged to participate.
Seeking PTA Board Members
As the 2023-2024 school year winds down, we are preparing the PTA for the next school year. Events like this school year's Holiday Movie Night, the Valentine MVP Dance, support for school clubs and much more all depend on the PTA, but we won't exist if we don't have board members.
If you are interested in serving on the PTA, please contact the nominating committee at teachersgrants@lesospreys.org for more information. Training is available, and you'll have support from past leaders and PTA members. We’d love to have you lead us into the 2024-2025 school year!
