  2. Meet and Greet By:  Michele Hampton Please join us for the "Meet and Greet" activity on August 23rd at 1:30-2:30 pm.  This will give you the opportunity to meet your child's teacher.  The students are welcome to join us as well.  The teachers have a full schedule during this week with time to prepare their classrooms and time for professional development; however, we have provided time for you and your child to meet each other prior to the first day of school.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone! Best Practices for SES By:  Michele Hampton As our school improvement team met during the summer, we realize areas of strength and areas needing improvement through the data analysis activities completed.  The SES team will continue to monitor student progress by continuous review of data. Our main areas of focus will be math, reading and writing.   We are fortunate to have the support of Partnering for Youth for the upcoming school year.  Intervention class sizes will not exceed 8 students.  We are also encouraging parental and community engagement.  We are hoping parents will be involved with professional development workshops to provide additional academic support for their children.  Our staff will continue to participate in training that help them to identify and respond to areas where students struggle.  The SES staff will also utilize technology.  Updates in technology will continue to be provided this school year.  We installed SMART Boards in all classrooms.  We have also purchased laptops on a cart.  Web-based computer instructional programs are supplemented to support the curriculum for enhancing the students' learning as well.  Let's be strong partners in supporting our students' education! Character Counts at SES By:  Michele Hampton Sudlersville Elementary School embraces Character Counts.  Typically, volunteer coaches focus on one pillar a month and will share activities with students to discuss each pillar.  It is important for parents and teachers to reinforce each pillar taught to students.  Parents, teachers, and others can teach and model values but ultimately all of us learn we are responsible for our own character.  As we mature, we learn that our character evolves and that it can be improved.  Building good character is a dynamic process.  During the month of August, we will focus on the pillar of "respect".  We want students to treat others with respect, use good manners, and be considerate of others' feelings. During the month of September, we will focus on the pillar of "responsibility".  We want students to persevere or keep trying, always do their best, use self-control, and be accountable for their choices. "Parents can only give good advice or put their children on the right path.  The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."  Anne Frank Character Counts!  Queen Anne's County People of Character MEET OUR STAFF! Secretary Angie Soto Look for after school program registration packets in your child’s book bag in early September! Partnering for Youth will be back at Sudlersville Elementary with a new 21st Century Community Learning Center grant funding the after school program for the next 5 years. PFY will start September 23rd serving 2nd-4th grade students. We are looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces enjoying all the fun activities we are planning. Thank you for allowing us to spend time with your children. It will be a great year at PFY!

Janet Hewitt My name is Janet Hewitt, I am the Administrative Secretary at SES.  I have worked for Queen Anne's County Public Schools for 11 years; first at SMS and then SES.  My family has lived in the area for over 25 years.  I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and is ready for a new year!
