Greetings and welcome to the Sligo Creek Elementary School community. We are so happy you are here. The mission of the PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. The SCES PTA does this by sponsoring academic, cultural, athletic and interpersonal development events and by providing resources to fill the gaps and enhance the MCPS experience.

The Lost & Found is outside under the breezeway at SCES from now (Wednesday, June 29) until Friday, July 1 around 4 PM.

I tried to hang all items with zippers (coats, raincoats, light jackets) on the rack but ran out of space so a few lightweight hoodies with zippers are on the ground.

These items will be donated on Friday after 4 PM. If you see something that belongs to you but can't make it to school in the next three days, let me know and we can put it aside in the PTA closet and get it to you at a later date.

After a one year hiatus, yearbooks are back! The yearbook order form is now available -- orders will be accepted now through April 30th. Cost this year is $24. All 5th graders will receive a yearbook, orders do not need to be placed for 5th graders; the PTA appreciates donations to help offset these costs.

Current plan is for the books to be delivered in June direct to the classrooms, please note your student name and teacher (last name only) in the order form.

SCES Arrival/Dismissal Pattern for Cars

-- Reminder not to Use Greenwich Lane to Approach the School--

Given the bus driver shortage that has impacted our bus routes, we have many new car riders. For those who don't normally pick up or drop off your students in the car circle, it might be useful to take a quick look at the route.

When arriving by car to drop off or pick up your child(ren) in the Car Circle, please use the following pattern:
