The CMS School Counseling Office is sponsoring a toy barrel to collect NEW unwrapped toys, sports equipment, games, books, crafts, etc. for kids ages 1-14. These items will be donated to the Sharing Foundation who will provide them to needy children of working families in Anne Arundel County. Please bring items to the School Counseling Office between Tuesday, November 19th and Monday, December 16th. Thank you so much for anything you can provide. There will be a competition between advisories to donate the most items.
The CMS Scholastic Book Fair will take place December 2nd through December 6th. Students will be attending with their Language Arts classes. Please see the book fair website. Please come to Family Night on Wednesday, December 3rd, 5pm-7pm in the media center.
Preordering is not available for makeup picture day. Anyone who would like to place an order can do so directly from their child’s online gallery once the images have been uploaded (about two weeks after picture day). See flyer for more information.
Please do not bring outside food (i.e. fast food) to the school to give to students for lunch. Students can pack a lunch and certainly include leftovers, but we don't want deliveries of outside food to the school during lunchtime. This doesn't include bringing your student their lunch box if they forget it.
Just a friendly reminder that there are no early dismissals after 3:15pm.
Please review the CMS Electronic Policy and Consequences here with your student. All electronics (cellphones and earbuds) are to be OFF and AWAY before students enter the building.
Please see instructions here to request transcripts if your student is applying to a private school.
As a reminder, we have begun implementing the NEW Bell Schedule.
Please note the new lunch times for each grade level and team.
If you need to collect information from school personnel for your physician, private psychologist/assessor, or therapist, etc. via rating forms (electronic/written) or written feedback documents, Crofton Middle School has a formal process in place.
Please do not have your student deliver these paper documents to school staff directly. Please do not have your provider email the rating scales directly to school staff until we have a signed/emailed request from the parent/guardian at the school.
If you have documents or rating scales that your outside providers are interested in having school staff/teachers complete, please reach out to your student’s school counselor to initiate this process. Keep in mind, we aim for a two-week turnaround once the formal request is made, the items are provided to the school counselor for distribution, and a signed/emailed request has been received by Crofton Middle. We will then send the completed documents directly to the requesting office/provider when completed items are received.
Parents who are active military or who live or work on Federal Property in Maryland are asked to complete this year’s Federal Impact Aid Survey that became available on September 30, 2024.
You will be asked to verify your home address and identify if it is located on federal property. You will also complete sections identifying if a family member is in the military or works on federally owned property in Maryland. The survey should only take a couple of minutes to complete and, be assured, all data collected is kept completely confidential.
Why Complete This Survey?
Anne Arundel County Public Schools, like many local school districts across the United States, include within our boundaries parcels of land that are owned by the Federal Government or that have been removed from the local tax rolls by the Federal Government. Federal property is exempt from local property taxes. By submitting an application to the Department of Education each January, AACPS receives approximately $2 million to assist in educating all our students.
