SNOW HILL MIDDLE SCHOOL

📢 Attendance Matters! 🎓 Every day counts, and being present helps students stay on track for success! 📈 Did you know that missing just two days of school per month can add up to 18 days a year? That's nearly an entire month of learning lost! Let’s work together to ensure every student has the best chance to thrive at SHMS. 🌟 #AttendanceMatters #EveryDayCounts #SHMSProud #StudentSuccess

Attention WCPS families: If your family received Maryland SUN Bucks over the summer, be sure to use them before they expire on October 30. For more information or to check your SUN Bucks balance, visit https://dhs.maryland.gov/sunbucks/.

🚌 It’s National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌 Let’s keep our kids safe by following these important tips: 1. School safety starts at the bus stop! 🚌🛑 Share these tips with your kids: ⌚ Arrive 5 minutes early. 🚏 Stand 5 giant steps back from the curb. 🚌 Wait for the bus to stop, door to open, and driver’s okay before boarding. 👁️ Make sure you and the driver can see each other. 2. School Bus Drivers 🚌: The biggest risk to kids is getting on/off the bus. Stay alert, stay engaged! 3. 🟡 Yellow lights 🟡 mean the bus is stopping. 🚌 Slow down and watch for children. 🧒🧒 4. Stop for the stop-arm! 🚌 Passing it puts lives in danger. 5. School is in session! 🏫 Slow down and watch for kids near bus stops. 🚌 #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek #KeepKidsSafe
