7:45 p.m., 2/22/26: Due to expected worsening adverse weather and travel conditions overnight, all AACPS schools will operate virtually on Monday, February 23. Students will engage in real-time virtual instruction with their teachers. Please note that both the start times and length of the virtual learning day have changed to align them with the length of the in-person school day. Schools will begin instruction at 8:30 or 8:45 a.m., as listed on schedules that can be found at www.aacps.org/studentschedules or www.aacps.org/stayconnected.
With the exception of Unit III Facilities, Operations, and Maintenance personnel, AACPS employees should work remotely on February 23. Unit III Facilities, Operations, and Maintenance personnel must follow the terms of their negotiated agreement and report to work locations as required. Additional guidance regarding reporting requirements will be communicated to impacted employees.
Any additional changes to the status of school district operations for Monday, February 23, will be announced Monday morning.
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.

The monetary awards are given each spring in honor of Ms. Antwine, a Navy veteran who served on the Board of Education from 2018 until her death in 2021, to AACPS students who have made a similar commitment by enlisting to serve in the United States military upon graduation. 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
This month, we're taking a meaningful pause from our usual focus on academic data to spotlight something equally important: keeping our children safe in the digital world.
As our school community becomes more technologically savvy, it's essential that we partner with families to ensure students are not only thriving online but staying safe. From social media to gaming apps, our children are navigating an increasingly digital landscape. Together, we can build the knowledge and tools needed to protect them.
We invite all parents and guardians to join us for a special Campus Conversations session focused on Cyber Safety.
You'll learn practical tips and resources on:
Recognizing online risks and setting healthy boundaries
Monitoring and guiding screen time
Keeping personal information private
Encouraging responsible digital citizenship
Event Details:
Date: 2/20/26
Time: 7:40 AM
Location: Cafeteria
Coffee & Light Breakfast will be served
This is a valuable opportunity to connect with other families, ask questions, and build confidence around how to support your child’s safe technology use at home and school.
