St. Michaels Elementary School Judy Center Early Learning Hub

02/02/2026

Families, due to the delayed opening, limited space in the SMES parking lot, and to avoid interfering with SMES drop-off, our playgroup scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday, February 3, 2026) will be canceled. We look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday, February 4th.

Due to continued extreme temperatures and icy road conditions, all Talbot County Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay schedule on Tuesday, February 3, to allow additional time for student and staff travel. Employees will follow code green.

Adverse road and sidewalk conditions still exist, so families and staff are urged to exercise caution and patience. We encourage families of students who normally walk to school to provide extra supervision of students on walking routes, or consider transporting students to and from school if possible. Please also use caution when making decisions about student drivers. Some buses may still need to take alternate routes or avoid certain areas due to continued hazards. Please be safe!

We miss our playgroup families! 💙 Our time together in January was all about winter and winter animals—and Mother Nature really understood the assignment. ❄️ With snow and lots of ice, we got a true winter experience we won’t forget! 🧤

Take time tomorrow to create memorable valentine cards for seniors within our community. Bring them to playgroup next week and we will deliver them to Royal Oak Community UMC by February 5th. 💗🥰

Start stocking up on card supplies - this would be a perfect activity to do this coming weekend!!

Families, we miss seeing you, but we hope you are staying safe, warm, and creating special family memories. All scheduled events for this week have been postponed. We hope to see you next week! ❤️

As of Wednesday, January 28, TCPS has used all four built-in inclement weather days in the Board-approved calendar for this school year. Due to the continued extreme temperatures and icy road conditions throughout the county, we will move to virtual instruction on Thursday, January 29, and Friday, January 30.

Devices were sent home with all students in grades 1-12, and learning packets were sent home with PreK and Kindergarten students on Friday, January 23, in preparation for this.

Grades 1-12 teachers will provide synchronous instruction, assignments, and support through our online learning platforms. All Synchronous Virtual instruction will begin at 8:00 a.m. The 2025-2026 Virtual Instruction Day Plan, which is linked below and is posted on the TCPS website, includes specific schedules and instructions for accessing the learning management system.

For grades 1-12, attendance will be taken, and students are expected to engage in virtual learning. PreK and Kindergarten students will be asynchronous and are asked to complete their learning packets. Please look for communications from your child’s school and/or their teacher.

The Technology Team will be available to provide remote support during days designated for virtual instruction. If you have questions or need help, please contact support using the email for your building provided below. The emails will be monitored between 7:15 AM and 3:15 PM on designated virtual instruction days.
