Anne Arundel County Public Schools is monitoring the weather forecast for potential inclement weather Sunday into Monday. As a reminder, our school district has used all three of the inclement weather days built into the calendar. Should another inclement weather day be needed on Monday or any other future day, it is our intention to switch to virtual learning instructional schedules. This would avoid adding a day to the end of the school year.
Students are being reminded today to take their assigned devices home with them and keep them charged through the weekend.
Virtual learning schedules, which have been updated since the last storm, can be found at www.aacps.org/studentschedules.

We are SO proud of you and excited to celebrate this incredible milestone! 💛🐉

They assist awardees with initial expenses related to enlisting, including uniforms and basic training supplies, and aim to remove financial barriers to military service.
Applications for this year’s award can be found online at www.aacps.org/serviceaward. The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. on April 17, 202

Today ourAnnapolis Middle School educators had the incredible opportunity to learn from Dr. Shaun Woodly, nationally recognized speaker and author of “MC Means Move the Class.” His energy, passion, and deep commitment to equity-centered teaching were truly inspiring.
During our Unity Day Equity Presentation, Dr. Woodly challenged us to think differently, teach boldly, and build classrooms where every student feels seen, valued, and empowered. His strategies for engagement and culturally responsive teaching left our staff motivated and ready to elevate our practice! 💡📚
Thank you, Dr. Woodly, for pouring into our AMS community and reminding us what it means to Move the Class! 🔥🙌
