The Maryland Center for School Safety released information late last night about a nationwide social media threat that has been circulating throughout communities. SCPS wants to make all of our families aware that this threat has been deemed non-credible by local law enforcement, and schools will continue normal operations today. As always, student and staff safety is our highest priority and we appreciate the outreach from our community on this issue.

PLEASE SHARE and SPREAD THE WORD! FIELD HOCKEY HOME GAMES! Tomorrow is an important day in America's history. Patriot Day is held on 9/11 to honor the memory of those lost during the terrorist attack on our country. It is a day of remembrance! There were many acts of extraordinary courage and sacrifice. Many brave men and women were lost on that day in 2001. Sadness struck America in a different kind of way. In honor and memory of Patriot Day and the lives impacted/changed, and those lost, the Varsity Field Hockey Team and SADD will sponsor a RED, WHITE and BLUE game! The games will be HOME tomorrow, Wednesday 9/11, as follows: JV Field Hockey vs Kent Island at 4:00 pm, and the Varsity Field Hockey vs Kent Island at 5:30 pm. We are asking the fans to wear RED, WHITE, and BLUE to join in on our remembrance of that horrific day. We hope you will come out and support the team (which consist of some pretty great students) and the cause! #JagNation #REDWHITEBLUE #SupportTheCauseAndOurTeam #WeNEEDyou! Image by Freepik
