Dear Parents,

Now that the school year is completing, we’re reminding parents that Choptank Health’s School-Based Health providers are available by appointment over the summer to help our students be as healthy as they can be!

Now is the perfect time to include scheduling your athlete’s sports physicals on your summer ‘to-do’ list, so that your student(s) will be eligible to play fall sports during the next school year.

Choptank Health providers can also help address your student’s urgent care needs over the summer, with services including diagnosing illness, addressing behavioral health, writing prescriptions, performing lab tests, and more.

DES is a Title I School receiving federal funds to improve instruction in math and reading.

Parents of students attending Title 1 schools may request information about the professional qualifications of their child's teachers. Parents of elementary students may request in writing to the school principal information about their child's teacher including:

* Any college or university degree or certification held.

* The subject area of the teacher's degree or certification.

* Whether the teacher is certified by the State of Maryland to teach a grade level or subject area.

* Whether the teacher holds a provisional certificate.

* Whether the child is served by paraprofessionals and, if so, parents may request their professional qualifications.

All DES dismissal changes must be made by 12:00pm each day. This allows time to ensure that the teacher, student, and dismissal staff are all aware of the changes.

Caroline County Public Schools prohibits discrimination in its educational programs, and in employment, on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, genetic information, gender identity, or disability.
