3 p.m., 11/13/25: I-97 southbound is closed at New Cut Road due to an accident. This will cause significant delays in bus transportation for some students being transported home from schools today. All buses will make all stops, but may be delayed in getting to those stops.
School Psychologist week may have ended, but we continue to value and appreciate everything that Mrs. Shaver does to support our school community. QES is blessed to have you as part of the team! #BelongGrowSucceed #Mentalhealthmatters #SchoolPsychologist
Today we launched a new mentoring initiative in partnership with Severn Run High School called SRQ Connect! This program brings together student-athletes from Severn Run and students from Quarterfield to build meaningful connections through physical activity, mentorship, and social-emotional learning!
During physical education classes and recess—times when students often face challenges with behavior and peer interactions—SRQ Connect mentors will support our younger learners by modeling positive behaviors, encouraging teamwork, and helping students navigate competitive situations with empathy and resilience.
The high school mentors will serve as role models, demonstrating how to participate actively, resolve conflicts respectfully, and have fun while staying emotionally regulated. This initiative is designed to strengthen our students’ social-emotional skills and create a more inclusive and supportive environment during high-energy parts of the day. Our goal is to do this at least once per month.
Please join us in welcoming the SRQ Connect mentors and supporting this exciting collaboration between our schools! Special Shout Out to Coach Allen Haley for his willingness to connect for community sake.

Sending a HUGE shout-out to Mrs. Nikki and Mrs. D for starting the "Teacher Spotlight" program. In conjunction with our Sunshine Committee, they worked to create a weekly program that allow staff to nominate their coworkers for the great things they do. This helps build a positive working environment where staff are appreciated, honored, recognized for a job well done. As we continue to celebrate each other, we hope that Mrs. Nikki and Mrs. D know that they are truly appreciated for the work they have done to build staff morale! You truly capture the heart of AACPS and help everyone #BelongGrowSucceed
