Parents, Did You Know...?
Unfortunately, the novelty of the dispensers seems to be getting the better of some of our students. They are misusing the products by emptying dispensers of the products and subsequently placing them in the sinks and lavatories. Not only does this inconvenience the students who actually need the product but they are also destroying school property which can lead to disciplinary consequences. Please take a minute to speak to your student about the possible consequences based on the SMCPS Code of Conduct.
Student Fiscal Responsibility and Debt Collection
Parents and guardians should be mindful of all debt that their students accrue throughout the 2022-2023 School Year. Student debt could take any one of the following forms:
Lost/Damaged Computer Devices
Lost/Damaged Textbooks
Lunch Debt
Parents/Guardians play a key role in monitoring not only their student's actions but also their fiscal responsibilities regarding lost/damaged issued devices (such as computers and textbooks) and/or food purchases made by your child in our school cafeteria. Payment can be made in the form of cash or check and should include your child's five-digit Student ID# (e.g., #12345). For further convenience, families may also pay by credit card online at http://www.myschoolbucks.com/. All questions and concerns should be directed to the school bank or the principal's secretary.
