🎃 TGIF, CSPES!

We hope all our families and students have a fun and safe time tonight if you celebrate Halloween! Remember to watch for traffic, stay with a group, and don’t forget to check your treats before enjoying them. 🍬✨

When we return on Monday, students will have the chance to earn a limited-edition $5 Temi Ticket 🎟️ in one of two ways:

1️⃣ Bring in a Ziploc baggie of candy (sandwich-size or larger)
2️⃣ Bring in a box of tissues

🍭 Candy is used throughout the year for staff and student incentives, and tissues are always appreciated—especially as we head into sniffle season! 🤧

Participation is completely optional! We will accept candy and tissue donations on Monday and Tuesday, only!

The Board of Education of Anne Arundel County will have further discussions about the six Phase 2 redistricting proposals currently under consideration at its next regular business meeting, scheduled for noon on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.

At the meeting, the Board will also:
• consider approval of a new middle school course – Integrated Computational Thinking – and three new high school courses – Forensic Science 2, Advanced Placement Cybersecurity, and Advanced Placement Business Education With Personal Finance.
• conduct the first of three readings on revisions to the Policy IIC, Graduation Requirements and the accompanying regulation. The revisions would reduce the number of credits needed for graduation from 26 to 22.5, still higher than the state minimum, by requiring fewer elective credits.

More details can be found on the AACPS news release page.

Utilizing flexibility provided in a new law, the Board of Education has altered the current school year calendar by removing six early dismissal days and creating in their place three full school days for students followed by three non-student days in which teachers can complete grading and other staff can engage in professional learning. #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSFamily
