Message from our Principal

Welcome to Dynard Elementary School!  We are the best kept secret of the St. Mary’s County Public Schools.  Dynard is nestled in the quiet 7th District Community, but is comprised of the most dedicated group of students and staff.  We pride ourselves as being a community of learners, both students and adults alike.

We look forward to another year of outstanding academic achievement, while fostering character education in our students.  Our 2010 Maryland State Assessment (MSA) scores can be accessed on mdreportcard.org.  We are committed to building leadership in our students as we guide our students to greatness!  Dynard continues to build collaborative partnerships with our community such as the 7th District Optimists, the American Legion, and Chopticon High School, just to name a few.

Stakeholder involvement is encouraged and we offer the following opportunities at Dynard Elementary:

  • Become a member of our PTA
  • Join a PTA committee
  • Volunteer with PTA
  • Become a member of the School Improvement Team (SIT), 2010-2011 SIT Meetings are posted under the School Improvement Team link.
  • Become a volunteer (see SMCPS volunteer guidelines)
  • Assist with or attend special events: Parent/teacher conferences, Math & Science Night, 3rd Annual Holiday Spectacular, Chorus Concerts, Band/Strings Concerts, Character Assemblies, Diabetes Walk, Farm to School Day, and Field Day
