Car Rider Pick up in the afternoon:
If you pick your child up in the afternoons, please do not park on the curbs unless there is no parking left in the lot. This will make it easier for others to get out of their parking places. Thank you in advance!
Click the link/title above to submit a shout out to a staff member that has gone above and beyond for your student since school started. These will be shared with staff in the staff weekly newsletter.

Reminders:
Just a reminder that the Calvert County Health Department will be here on September 24th for their annual school flu clinic. Consent forms went home in folders last week. If you did not get a paper consent form, please let me know. I can send it home with your child. There is also an online registration/consent, if you would rather do that. Please follow this link https://calvertcounty.as.me/SLVFluClinicsDES. If you have already turned in a paper consent, there is no need to fill out the consent online. If you do not want your student to receive the vaccine, simply discard the form. I do not need to have the form back.
Another reminder, students should not have any type of medication or ointments/creams in their possession. If your student requires medication to be given while at school, please bring in the medication with the authorization to administer medication form filled out by the doctor and signed by a parent/guardian to me. This includes all prescription and over the counter (OTC), routine and as needed medications.
Being in such close proximity to the power plant, the Health Department has provided the school with Potassium Iodine tablets should there be an emergency at the Power Plant. Some students may have already brought the form home. Please read the attached consent form. ONLY RETURN THE SIGNED FORM IF YOU DO NOT WISH FOR YOUR STUDENT TO RECEIVE THE TABLET, should the need arise.
Feel free to contact Nurse West with questions at westl@calvertnet.k12.md.us or 443-550-9488.
