World Kindness Day is an international observance on 13 November. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a coalition of nations' kindness NGOs. It is observed in many countries, including Canada, Australia, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. Singapore observed the day for the first time in 2009.

From August 13 to 19, qualifying clothing and footwear $100 or less will be exempt from the state's six percent sales tax. Additionally, the first $40 of any backpack purchase will also be tax-free.

Dear Prince George’s County Public Schools Families:



With the first day of school (Monday, August 28) less than one month away, please make note of the following updates and reminders for the new school year.



Backpack Requirements

In a change from the previously announced requirement regarding clear backpacks, the policy will now only apply to ninth through 12th graders and students in Non-Traditional Program North, South and Middle. At present, clear backpacks are optional for sixth- through eighth-graders. PGCPS will evaluate the policy for middle school grades at the end of first semester and communicate any modifications prior to the end of Winter Break. Mesh alternatives are not allowed. The school system is working with community partners to assist high school students in need.



Back-to School Drive & Dash

Join us for our annual Back-to-School School Drive and Dash events sponsored by the Excellence in Education Foundation for PGCPS on Saturday, August 12 at three locations: Charles Herbert Flowers High School, High Point High School and Oxon Hill High School. Free backpacks will be distributed from 9 a.m. to noon while supplies last.



No Shots? No School.

Need shots for school? Head to a free immunization clinic in school wellness centers to get up-to-date with vaccinations. Appointments are required. View clinic dates and visit www.marylandvax.org to make an appointment.



Fentanyl Information Session

We are continuing our work to raise awareness around the risks associated with fentanyl by equipping families with the knowledge and tools needed to keep students safe. There will be a family information session at Thurgood Marshall Middle School on Wednesday, August 16 at 6 p.m. The event is open to the public.



Transportation

In light of the continued shortage of bus drivers regionally and nationally, we ask for your patience during the first weeks of school. Please update phone numbers, emails and emergency contact info in SchoolMax. To view your bus stop, use our Infofinder tool. Transportation questions can be submitted online. This school year, all students can also ride TheBus operated by Prince George’s County to school for free with their school ID. No registration is required. View school routes here.



Enjoy these final weeks of summer break. I look forward to welcoming you back to school!



Sincerely,

Millard House II

Superintendent


Estimadas familias de las Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Prince George:



Con menos de un mes para el primer día de clases (lunes, 28 de agosto), por favor tomen nota de las siguientes actualizaciones y recordatorios para el nuevo año escolar.



Requisitos de las mochilas

En un cambio del requisito previamente anunciado con respecto a las mochilas transparentes, la política ahora solo se aplicará a los estudiantes de 9. ° a 12. ° grado y a los estudiantes en el Programa No Tradicional Norte, Sur e Intermedio. Actualmente, las mochilas transparentes son opcionales para los estudiantes de 6. ° -8. ° grado. Al final del primer semestre, PGCPS evaluará la política para los estudiantes de la escuela intermedia y comunicará cualquier modificación antes del final de las vacaciones de invierno. No se permiten las mochilas alternativas de malla. Nuestro sistema escolar está trabajando con los socios comunitarios para ayudar a los estudiantes necesitados de la escuela superior.



Evento de regreso a clases “desde el auto”

Acompáñenos para nuestros eventos anuales de regreso a clases “desde el auto”, el sábado, 12 de agosto en tres ubicaciones: Escuela Superior Charles Herbert Flowers, Escuela Superior High Point y la Escuela Superior Oxon Hill. Se distribuirán mochilas gratis desde las 9:00 a. m. a 12:00 p. m. hasta agotar existencias.



¿No tiene vacunas? No podrá asistir a la escuela.

¿Necesita su hijo vacunas para la escuela? Asista a una jornada de vacunación gratuita en los centros de bienestar de las escuelas para estar al día con sus vacunas. Debe tener una cita. Para ver las fechas de las jornadas y hacer una cita, visite www.marylandvax.org.



Sesión informativa sobre el fentanilo

Continuamos nuestro trabajo para crear conciencia sobre los riesgos asociados con el fentanilo brindando a las familias el conocimiento y las herramientas necesarias para mantener seguros a los estudiantes. Habrá una sesión informativa familiar en la Escuela Intermedia Thurgood Marshall el miércoles, 16 de agosto a las 6:00 p. m. Este evento estará abierto al público.



Transporte

En vista de la continua escasez de conductores de autobuses a nivel regional y nacional, le pedimos paciencia durante las primeras semanas de clases. Por favor, actualice los números de teléfono, los correos electrónicos y la información de contacto de emergencia en SchoolMax. Para ver su parada de autobús, use nuestra herramienta Infofinder. Las preguntas relacionadas con el transporte pueden enviarse en línea. Este año escolar, todos los estudiantes pueden viajar a la escuela en TheBus operado por el Condado de Prince George de forma gratuita con su identificación escolar. No se requiere inscripción. Vea las rutas escolares aquí.



Disfrute de estas últimas semanas de vacaciones de verano. ¡Espero darles la bienvenida al nuevo año escolar!



Atentamente,

Millard House II

Superintendente
