Picking students up early from the main office - We cannot call down children for early sign-out before your arrival. We do not have the front office space to house students as they wait for parents to arrive and sign them out early. Also, we will not be able to sign students out at the office starting at 1:55 p.m. because we are in the process of making end-of-the-day announcements and calling for bus riders. If you need to sign out your student early from the office, you must do so before 1:55 p.m. After that time, they will have to be a car rider.

For students arriving late - Parents do not need to enter the building. Students will sign themself in if they arrive late. Parents can wait and ensure their child enters the building from the parking lot.

Bus passes are only written for emergencies. We do not write bus passes so students can go home with their friends. Additionally, all emergency bus pass requests must be submitted to the main office no later than 11:00 a.m. to ensure we have time to complete the bus pass.

Appointments Required - If you need to speak with an Assistant Principal or Guidance Counselor, it is required that you call before to schedule an appointment. Assistant Principals and Guidance Counselors have a full schedule of working with students, lunch duties, and other tasks. We cannot accommodate walk-in parents. Please call to schedule a time. Thank you!

All students in K-12 have been issued a SMCPS laptop and charger. The laptops and chargers are the property of SMCPS and come with the same responsibility as any other school-issued resource. Parent(s)/Guardian(s) and students should visit the SMCPS Website to review the SMCPS Student Handbook, Code of Conduct, and the device accountability resource document, which all outline information in regards to reporting damage, costs incurred for damage or loss, and the consequences for damage to school issued property. Current pricing can be found here.

There are changes to the Acceptable Use Policy this school year. For students under 18, Google requires parental consent to access non-core services (these include YouTube, Maps, Translate, etc.). All students will be able to use Gmail, Calendar, Drive, etc. (core services). Because of these changes, we will only require a signed AUP form from the parents who want to allow their child to access Google's Additional Services. The parent consent form can be found here. There is also more information in the links below.
