• Student Resource Accountability: Students are responsible for the care and upkeep of all of their SMCPS assigned resources: print and technology. This document outlines all of the policies and procedures in addition to pricing for lost or damaged devices. The student accountability document is also linked in this SMORE.

• A student can submit their own HELPDESK ticket. A parent/guardian can also help their student submit the ticket but the student needs to be logged into their Google account.

• This link outlines the costs of repair and replacement. Welcome Back! SMCPS Laptops and Chargers
  

• This Slidedeck is reviewed with students in order to remind them of proper care and their responsibility for the SMCPS laptops.

The SMCPS Student Handbook, Code of Conduct, and presentations can be found here. The handbook presentations will are available to students through a Schoology course, which will be located on each student's dashboard on the first day of school. Teachers review the presentation and videos as a class and have the students take the self-graded quizzes. In younger grades, the quiz is reviewed as a class.

Menus for School Meals are visible through Nutrislice.

If you want to view your child's meal purchases and add funds, use the My School Bucks link.
