Redistricting Information

 

Elementary and middle school boundaries will change over the next two years as Charles County Public Schools prepares to open new elementary and middle schools. Redistricting is necessary to create attendance zones for the new schools as well as to relieve overcrowding at J.C. Parks Elementary School and Mattawoman, Milton Somers and Matthew Henson middle schools.

 

Attendance zones for the following elementary schools could change with the opening of Diggs: J.C. Parks, Gale-Bailey, Arthur Middleton, Dr. James Craik, Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer, Berry and Indian Head. Additional schools could be included as the committee begins its work.

 

At the middle school level, attendance zones may change at General Smallwood, Matthew Henson, Mattawoman, Milton M. Somers, Benjamin Stoddert and John Hanson.

 

Public hearings are scheduled at two different times to solicit community input. The committee plans to present its proposals to the Superintendent and the Board of Education on Feb. 14. The committee plans to submit two options for consideration. The public hearing on the elementary proposals is scheduled for Feb. 28, 7 p.m., at Westlake High School. Comments on the middle school proposals will be accepted on March 1, 7 p.m., at Westlake.

 

Superintendent James Richmond will make recommendations to the Board at its March 14 meeting. Two additional public hearings will be held to gather input on the Superintendent’s redistricting recommendations. The elementary redistricting hearing is March 28, 7 p.m., at North Point and the middle school hearing is March 29, 7 p.m. at North Point.

 

The Board will make its final decision on redistricting on April 18 and may make modifications to the Superintendent’s recommendation based on public input.

Important Safety Reminder

 

Just a reminder that all visitors to the building must sign in and have a visitor’s sticker if they are going to a classroom. Students will be dismissed to the outside area at 2:18, and parents are to remain outside until that time unless you have made arrangements with the office staff to have your child dismissed earlier than 2:18. Finally, only those people on the emergency forms may pick up your child. This is a good time to review the emergency form to make sure that it is accurate, and that you have included one person who is here locally during the day that can be contacted or may pick up your child quickly in case of an illness or other emergency.
