The Delaware Department of Education has created 17 Delaware Student Success webinars which is now live and posted on the Delaware Student Success web site. A pdf listing of the session is attached to this announcement. All info, including descriptions and zoom registration info is here: www.delawarestudentsuccess.org. These sessions are for students and families. School counselors, other educators, community orgs are certainly welcome to attend.

The Builders Club submitted activities to Multiplying Good with Jefferson Awards. They were then nominated for the Mayors choice award for the club's Support the Troops project, which was selected by Mayor Genshaw as the award winner. This project, along with our other projects was forwarded to the Delaware Salute to Service nominating committee. The SMS Builders Club were selected as the winners for this year. A state wide project will be launched this October and is based off of the activities the Builders Club has done to support the community.

Cleaning hands at key times with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% ethanol or 70% isopropyl alcohol content (if soap and water is not readily available) is one of the most important steps a person can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to those around you.

According to Delaware Department of Education Emergency Order regarding Regulation 817 Medications and Treatments, parents/guardians are not required to provide permission for their student to use hand sanitizer but can indicate to the school that their student is unable to use hand sanitizer or needs assistance with self-use of hand sanitizer.

Please let your School Nurse know if your student should NOT use hand sanitizer or will need assistance. Thank you!

UPDATE: Our phone service is working properly. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We are operating under our normal school and business hours for the 2020-2021 school year. We are working on correcting the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience.
