Mary Moss at J. Albert Adams Academy

Good morning Moss Adams,
Today for heart health, we are encouraging everyone to spend time engaging in cardiovascular activity. Some fun ideas you can do today: take a walk, ride a bike, play a fun sport like basketball or soccer, or have a dance party!

Did you know? The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of physical activity every week to protect yourself from heart disease

Good morning Moss Adams,

Today’s heart health video features Finn’s story, where we learn about the importance of awareness, innovation, and the lifesaving power of CPR.
Finn's Story

Did you know ? The most important nutrient for heart health is fiber? Eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts are good sources of fiber and help keep cholesterol low.

Don’t forget to sign up and do Finn’s Mission for your chance to win Super Bowl 2027 tickets!

Good morning Moss Adams families,

This week we are participating in the American Heart Association’s One Week to Save a Life Program. This program is to help us all gain more awareness of the impact of heart health..

Sign up at our school’s site to be connected to resources and more information. You can also do the Finn’s Mission challenge which teaches the power of CPR. All who complete this mission will be entered into a drawing to win tickets to Super Bowl 2027!

Each day, check out videos to learn more about our program and heart health.

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 Board of Education of Anne Arundel County tonight unanimously voted to reappoint Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell to a second four-year term leading the fourth largest school district in Maryland.
