Tiger Families

Please join the PTA it is only $5 a membership this year.

We are looking for our Sunshine families. Adopt a month and bring in a special surprise for the Staff (in the staff lounge). We usually do it the 2nd to last week of the month. It can be food, desserts, drinks, candies, cards, notes or anything you want to bring some sunshine to their day.

Lastly we are bringing back Grade Level Coordinators. This is an individual that would like to assist a certain grade level Para with the needs of that grade. It could mean coming in once a week to assist the Para or taking things home to cut and assemble. Reach out to your grade level Para and set up a time to meet and arrange duties to assist.

Each year, the Howard County Public School System partners with the Maryland Partnership for Prevention to bring flu immunizations into our schools for students. This year, they will also be offering the latest Covid vaccine if it is available at the time of the clinics. The clinic at Guilford Elementary School will be held on October 29th, 2024 during school hours. If you would like your child to be vaccinated against the flu and/or Covid at this clinic, please register at this link: Guilford Elementary Flu/Covid Vaccine Clinic You are not required to provide your child’s insurance information.

If you have any concerns about the new Covid vaccine, you are advised to speak with your child’s pediatrician. All in-school clinics will be closed to registration one week before the clinic date to allow our health room staff time to review and prepare the consents and make sure enough vaccine is ordered. If you wish to cancel your child’s appointment after then, please call the nurse at your child’s school. If you have any questions, please call your school’s health room at 410-880-5934.
