Bus Rider Families - Please check your email for the communication below.
Dear CSPES Families,
We understand that the recent inconsistency in bus arrival times have been frustrating, and we appreciate your patience as we’ve worked with our bus contractor to improve transportation for our students and your family. Ensuring reliable and safe transportation is a priority, and we have been actively addressing these challenges.
This email is to notify you that moving forward, any disruptions or delays to bus service will be communicated in the same way as all comprehensive schools in Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS). Our bus contractors will update delays or disruptions on the AACPS website, which you can check for real-time updates.
You can access this information here: https://busstops.aacps.org/public/BusRouteIssues.aspx
Please read the instructions on how to use the site carefully. We encourage you to check this site regularly for updates on your child’s bus service. Delays and disruptions will be updated on this site instead of through phone calls from the bus contractor to the school which subsequently hindered clear and timely communication to families. However, should you continue to have questions about bus service, they must be addressed with CSPES, our transportation contracts are between the Charter Operator (CLF) and Bus Contractor. Thank you for your partnership as we work to enhance communication and reliability related to bus transportation. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
SS/Assistant Principal

The latest episode of “The Next Level” premieres NOW on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/GrdgsBPqwtg. This episode features two runners who will be running in college next year, the University of Maryland and Princeton.
#TBT Spotlight on CTE
Ms. Wolf was a student at North County while attending CAT-North for Baking & Pastry Arts. She is now in her fourth year teaching Baking & Pastry Arts at CAT-North.
"My student experience at CAT-North was truly life-shaping, and single-handedly the best decision I've ever made. I knew when it came to my career, it would be an honor and a privilege to come back to CAT North as an instructor myself. I consider myself lucky to get to show up and do the job I do every day with the staff and students I get to spend my time with. Baking is truly a work of art, a feat of science, and a job of love at the same time- an industry I love I get to share with my students daily."
Bonus Image: My instructor giving me a hug when I was announced as the state gold medalist in Baking & Pastry my senior year of high school. A photo of one of my students giving me a hug. That same student also won the state gold medal in Baking & Pastry last year, in her senior year of high school.
