The website for ordering school supplies for the 2025-2026 school year is now live and will remain so for the entire month of April and May. Kits will be shipped directly to your student’s home. The website to order is: www.shopttkits.com and our school code is: 87037.
Purchasing kits is completely voluntary and not mandatory for middle school. It’s simply a convenience that we like to provide for families.
The 2024-2025 CMS yearbook will be here soon and the only way you to purchase one is to order it online here! We have a limited supply remaining and they will sell out! The special price of $45 has been extended through May 11th, then the price will be $50. Don't miss this opportunity to have a memory of CMS!
Over the past four years, Anne Arundel County Public Schools has been fortunate to be able to use ESSER funds to support and provide in-person Summer School programming at no cost to all middle and high school students. However, as these federal funds are no longer available, AACPS must transition to a virtual Summer School model for 2025.
A virtual model will allow AACPS to maximize course offerings – both for original credit and credit recovery – for students within the budgetary parameters that exist. Students enrolled in credit recovery courses will continue to attend free of charge. A $300 fee will apply for original credit courses. Additional information about registration and scheduling will be shared in the coming weeks.

On Thursday, May 29th, our school will be hosting a Hoops for Heart fundraising event to support the American Heart Association. This event is to raise awareness to promote a healthy lifestyle and to support heart healthy activities. Through the end of May, families can use this link or the QR code below to make donations towards the Hoops for Heart Fundraiser. After the completion of the event, the students who donated will participate in an incentive or receive a reward. Our goal for this year is to raise $2,000.
As the weather starts to get warmer, please remember to review the dress code with your student. From page 23 of the 2024-2025 Student Handbook:
Students are Not Permitted to Wear:
Articles of clothing that promote drugs, alcohol, profanity, obscenity, violence, and symbols of hate;
Articles of clothing that promote gang colors, gang affiliation, gang initiation, or gang-related signs;
Clothing that shows bare skin between the upper chest and mid-thigh, including bare chest, back, or midriff, or underwear.
Students are to dress in clothes that promote a safe and respectful learning environment. Clothes that create a disruptive environment or cause a health or safety hazard, are not appropriate and not acceptable at school. School personnel will consistently and uniformly enforce this dress code.
The resources in this link are intended for families looking to get more information related to immigration issues. These resources will be updated as new information becomes available.
School counselors share many resources with students. Students also learn about emergency/crisis resources during their marking period of Health each school year. We wanted to take a moment to share these resources with parents/guardians so that you have them as well.
