Please make sure that you have completed your child's Emergency Card Verification form. Click here to access the form. You will need your student's birthdate, student number, and 5-digit pin (previously provided by your school). Please call the school if you need assistance.
All adults visiting our school, please make sure to have your photo ID out and facing the camera when you ring the doorbell. This saves time and is much appreciated by the front office.
If you plan to drop off your student in the morning and/or pick them up at dismissal, please see this link with maps describing the procedures.
Parents/Guardians: Please review the school bus dismissal location map with your student so that they know where their bus is parked at dismissal. Once bus riders are called for dismissal, students are expected to go directly to the number location of their bus in the parking lot and get on their bus for the ride home. If there is a substitute bus, the bus will still be parked in the regular bus location. Also don't forget to sign up for mail and text message notifications of disruptions to student bus service here.
Does your student want to be a part of the spring musical, The Music Man? There are many different roles that are needed: from being on-stage in a leading role, to the choral ensemble, to the back-stage crew. All roles are instrumental in the production of the amazing musical. There is a Mandatory Information Night & Audition Sign Up on Monday, September 15th, 6pm OR Thursday, September 18th, 6pm. For more information see the CMS Musical page here.

What is AACPSConnect?
AACPSConnect, powered by ClassLink, provides parents and guardians access to all the essential digital tools that support students and schools. With AACPSConnect, all AACPS families can belong, grow, and succeed all in one place. AACPSConnect is a customized experience determined by a user’s role within our AACPS family. Whether someone is a student, staff member, or parent/guardian, AACPSConnect presents a customized view for each type of user. This means students, staff, and parents/guardians only see the applications and links that are relevant to them.
Parents/Guardians can begin registering for their AACPSConnect accounts as soon as Communications makes the announcements to all AACPS families. Parents/Guardians must be registered in AACPSConnect to access the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS).
Canvas courses will be visible to students and families on or around Monday, August 25th, when teachers begin publishing their content within Canvas. See the links below for more information.
AACPS uses Canvas by Instructure to provide an efficient, enhanced, and engaging teaching and learning platform for students, staff, and families.
All parents and guardians are invited to join the Canvas Parent/Observer community to stay connected to their student's learning. Features include dynamic dashboards where families can track student progress; two-way communication tools to support school-family connections; and, easy access to lessons, assignments, quizzes, and grades. See links below for more information.
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Community Resources Landing Page designed to support AACPS students and families! This centralized webpage provides easy access to local and school-based services, including food assistance, housing support, mental health resources, and more.
