We are excited to begin sign-ups for the CSPES Greenhouse Club! This opportunity is open to 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students who have a genuine interest in learning how to plant, grow, and care for a greenhouse.
Please note that this club will run a bit differently than our typical after-school clubs. The Greenhouse Club will meet almost daily after school until 3:35 PM, with different students assigned to specific days rather than everyone attending every day.
Because space is limited and this is a hands-on learning experience, we ask that families only submit the form if their student has a sincere interest in gardening and plant care.
👉 To express interest, please complete this form:

Additional details regarding schedules, assigned days, and club acceptance notifications will be shared after interest forms are reviewed. We are excited to grow this opportunity for our students! 🌿🐯

3:00 p.m., 2/3/26: Barring any additional inclement weather overnight that would impact school operations, all Anne Arundel County Public Schools and offices will open on time and will operate on normal schedules for students and staff on Wednesday, February 4.
There will still be areas of the county where adverse road and sidewalk conditions exist tomorrow morning, so families and employees are urged to continue to exercise caution and patience, including as it relates to decisions about student drivers. Families of students who normally walk to school should once again closely examine walking routes and, if prudent and possible, consider transporting their students to and from school.
Thank you.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell delivers a message to families, students and staff about the reopening of schools today and also thanks all those who continue to exercise grace and patience. More than 90 percent of students attended classes in person today, and our AACPS team is continuing to work along with County and City of Annapolis crews to make things better as the week progresses. #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSFamily
