Registering Your Child for School

Children moving into the community during the school year should register as soon as possible.

Applications for Prekindergartenare available in schools beginning the first Friday in May and throughout the summer. Enrollment is not based on a "first come, first serve" basis. Registration for Kindergarten students begins on the first Friday in May and is continuous throughout the summer. Other elementary students and secondary students can be registered at any time which is convenient to the school and the parents/guardians. Parents/guardians are asked to call the schoolto arrange for appointments for registering their children. It is recommended that this registration occur as early as possible during the summer.

Parents must live in the school attendance area of the school in which they plan to enroll their child. Use the School Locatorto help determine your attendance area. Students must be registered by the custodial parent (biological, adoptive, legal guardian). Parents/guardians who are unable to register their children at the scheduled time in May should call the school for an appointment.

A record of a Physical Examination is required for students who are entering a Maryland public school for the first time - either nine months prior to entering or six months after entering. Students entering pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade must provide documentation certifying that the child had undergone lead testing.

Third Graders will begin Topic 4 on November 8.  We will learn to use our known multiplication facts to help us solve unknown division facts.  This is helpful when dividing by any number, but especially 0 and 1 which is always confusing for third graders!  The pictures below demonstrate how we use this in the classroom.

Maryland has educational regulations for gifted and talented services, more commonly known as GT Comar. In Maryland, "A gifted and talented student is identified as "having outstanding talent and performing, or showing the potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared with other students" (Maryland Annotated Code § 8-201)

In Harford County Public Schools, students are identified for services in Reading and/or Math. These services begin in third grade.

At Prospect Mill Elementary School, gifted and talented services include a combination of co-teaching, consultative, and pull-out services. If pulled from a homeroom class, students do not need to make up work that they miss from their homeroom teachers. Work completed in gifted and talented small groups is graded and grades are given to homeroom teachers. These grades typically replace the general education assignments students miss when they are in small group. This is appropriate because the work in small groups is differentiated to meet the needs of advanced learners.

Consultative and co-teaching are services that require homeroom and the GT resource teacher to work closely together for planning and to maintain a continuum of services. In a consultative model, the homeroom teacher is providing the GT services to students, after planning and support from the GT specialist. Additionally, this is the case with co-teaching services as well, as our GT teacher position is half-time, and cannot co-teach in classes every day.

During second quarter library media classes, students will be exploring digital citizenship.  Digital citizenship includes how we communicate  and use online resources responsibly.

A good resource for families about this topic is the Common
Sense Media website.  There is a section called Parents Need to Know.  Resources are by age, topic, guides to
popular online resources (Minecraft, Fortnite, YouTube Kids, Snapchat, etc.).

In topic 4, students have the opportunity to build two digit numbers with base ten blocks. They then will represent the blocks by drawing long lines ( longs that represent 10) and dots ( cubes that represent 1). After both numbers of the equation are represented, students start in the ones place and find the total. If they have more than 10, they can regroup ten ones for a ten. An example of this strategy can be viewed in the attached video.
