Due to a PowerSchool issue, some families are having difficulty opening report cards being sent by schools today. Schools have been instructed to stop sending report cards until PowerSchool can rectify the issue. Families who have already received report cards should wait until this evening to attempt to open them.

As a reminder, on Monday, November 4, 2024, we will close our morning drop-off doors at 7:55 a.m. We begin welcoming students into the building at 7:40 a.m. each day. This adjustment allows us to ensure that students are seated and ready to begin their day promptly when the bell rings at 8:00am. Any student arriving after 7:55am will not be able to enter through the side door and must be accompanied by an adult into the front office to sign in. Please make the necessary arrangements to ensure that your child is dropped off no later than 7:55 a.m., so they can start their day smoothly.

It's another beautiful, late fall day outside and whether you're already out and about or just need something to do, head to any Always Ice Cream Company location and pick up a scoop (or two, or a pint, or ...) of the official AACPS flavor, Smart Cookie! The flavor is available all month long and a portion of the proceeds goes to the Education Foundation of AACPS to give back to our students and schools! #AACPSFamily #BelongGrowSucceed #WeLoveIceCream
