AACPS autogenerates electronic postcards to send to families. The intent is to ensure families are aware of their child’s attendance and the impact on learning. The number of absences include any type of absence, whether excused (such as a note sent in for an illness) or unexcused (no note/approved reason). Please see the sample attached. Another message is scheduled to be sent next week. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher. Thank you for your partnership.

Good Morning Families,
Thank you for your patience with the few bus issues we’ve had recently. Many of our drivers are new to our school this year and adjusting to routes. Our students have been patient and understanding as well!
At this time, we’ve been informed that Bus 142 has a consistent driver and Bus 158 driver will be returning this week so delays should be minimal.
We recommend that all families of bus riders enroll in the Bus Alert system on aacps.org so you will receive messages if your child’s bus is late. This will provide you information about the bus time/route in real time.
Again, thank you for your patience as we work to ensure our students are brought to and from school safely and on time!
