SUDLERSVILLE ELEMENTARY

Our Mission: The mission of Sudlersville Elementary School is to educate and enlighten each of our students through an engaging curriculum and high expectations (for behavior and achievement) by dedicated teachers and staff with support of parents and the extended community.

Our Vision: A graduate of Queen Anne's County Public Schools will be well-educated globally competitive and prepared to become a caring, productive citizen of the 21st century.

I am Michele Hampton, and this is my seventeenth year as a principal in Queen Anne's County. I have two married sons who live and work in the Carolinas. The Sudlersville community is a fantastic community. We are fortunate to have such wonderful parents, students and staff! I am looking forward to the 2014/2015 school year. Let's make it the best year ever!

Talent Show at Sudlersville Elementary SchoolOn June 4, Sudlersville Elementary School hosted a talent show. There were many displays of talents and a variety of acts. Mrs. Angela Webster, guidance counselor, organized the event. The teachers performed a surprise act that was enjoyed by all!

William Donald Schaefer Helping People Award

Mrs. Annette DiMaggio received the William Donald Schaefer Helping People Award for efforts to provide meals on weekends through the Backpack Fridays program she initiated.

Attendance at SES

Attendance is a priority at SES. This school year we will work closely with Community Mediation Upper Shore as a truancy diversion program. This program seeks ways to improve attendance for parents whose children have poor attendance records. We will use this process as a way to improve student attendance.

During a mediation process the parents and students have the chance to explain extenuating circumstances for absences.

The goal is to reach an agreement that will help the students improve their attendance record.

Electronic Devices I. Purpose: The Queen Anne’s County Board of Education acknowledges that portable communication devices may add to the well-being of students, however the Board also recognizes the possibility that these devices may distract or disrupt the education environment. Therefore limited use of portable communication devices will be permitted but must strictly follow the prescribed guidelines. Elementary school students are not permitted to possess or use portable communication devices while on Queen Anne’s County Public School property or while attending any elementary school activities. School office phones are available for those students who need to contact parents. This means students may not have cell phones or any other communication devices on the school grounds or on the buses. Because they distract from our studies and are frequently “lost”, students are discouraged from bringing electronic devices to school. Neither the school nor the teachers are responsible for safeguarding expensive devices that students decide to bring to school. Students may not bring a device to school that has internet access unless prior approval by the principal . S.E.S. will enforce this policy in order to protect privacy and prevent cyber bullying as well as to monitor appropriate usage . An Acceptable Use Policy will be sent home in the fall, and can be found in the Queen Anne’s County Student/ Parent handbook. This policy needs to be read and signed by you and your child. For more information, the entire policy may be found at http://qacps.org under student policies.

New Guidelines Announced for Free and Reduced Price School MealsThe Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) has announced revised Income Eligibility Guidelines for free and reduced-price school meals. The guidelines are set by the federal government and adopted by MSDE. They are used to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price meals in the child nutrition programs for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.Household size and income is the most common way to determine eligibility. Parents/guardians will continue to complete the Meal Benefit Application as they have in the past. Households will be informed whether their children qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Many children will continue to qualify just as they have in the past. Parents/guardians may reapply at any time during the school year and are encouraged to do so if their household size goes up, they become unemployed, their income goes down, or their household qualifies for FSP or TCA.More information may be found on MarylandPublicSchools.org.
