K KEEPING SAFE- Fire/Safety Drills Practice fire and safety drills are conducted the first weeks of school and at any other time deemed necessary. Unannounced drills are conducted on a regular basis throughout the year. If you are in the school when a fire bell rings or an announcement regarding a code is made, please follow the instructions given to you by school personnel. Drills of this nature are practiced with the children and staff to ensure their safety and well-being. Our goal is for every child to feel safe and prepared if a situation were to arise during the school day. Please assist us with making sure your child understands the importance of these drills. L LAPTOPS & ELECTRONIC DEVICES Each student will be assigned a Wicomico County Board of Education laptop to assist them with the completion of assignments in school and at home. The laptop must travel to and from school with them as directed by the classroom teacher. All students will be responsible for providing appropriate care for the device. We ask that you please assist your child by ensuring: ●​ Laptops and chargers go home as directed by the classroom teacher. ●​ Students utilize two hands when carrying the device. ●​ Food and drinks are kept away from the device. ●​ The device is used to complete instructional tasks only. ●​ Do not place stickers, etc. on the laptops. A technology agreement is reviewed at the beginning of the school year. Families will be held financially accountable for damaged laptops as deemed preventable by the school administration team. Students are not permitted to have personal electronic devices while on school property. If an electronic device is out, it will be brought to an administrator and a parent/guardian will need to pick it up. MEALS Free/Reduced Lunch Applications- Free and reduced lunches are available for eligible children. Application forms are sent home each September and may be obtained from the school office during the school year. Even if you are not eligible for this service, please fill out or cross through the form, sign it, and have your child return it to school. This is essential that we have a response from each of our family households in order to secure adequate Title I Funding. MMFA Schoolwide Breakfast- M
