Attendance
When students are absent from school, AACPS sends messages to families to ensure student safety and open communication. For convenience and equity, messages are sent through two communication tools:
Alerts - the AACPS automated contact system provides one message per day for elementary students and two messages per day for middle and high school students. A morning message is sent to families of all absent students via phone, email, and text at 11 a.m. The second message is sent via email and text to families of absent middle and high school students at 5:30 p.m.
Parent Portal sends notifications in real time when a student is marked absent for the school day or a specific class period. In order to receive Parent Portal notifications, parents/guardians must have proper accounts and notifications turned on in their settings. Access to Parent Portal is available for families of students in grades K-12. Parents/guardians can also send attendance notes directly to their student's school via Parent Portal. Visit www.aacps.org/parentportal to sign up or learn more.
For information on how to support student attendance, visit www.aacps.org/attendance.
Student Accident Insurance
Anne Arundel County Public Schools does not provide medical insurance for injuries to students that occur while the student is at school or when off of school property while they are involved in a school-related activity. However, AACPS has selected Bob McCloskey Insurance to provide several student accident insurance coverage options that parents/guardians may purchase. If you do not have health insurance, this insurance may be a resource to consider. To learn more, visit www.aacps.org/studentaccidentinsurance.

Reminder for Morning Drop Off
This is a reminder that when you are dropping off your student in the morning and entering property from 424, please pull up as far as you can to the orange cones before unloading. We have orange cones blocking our staff parking lot and cones blocking parking spots. Anywhere along that span of cones is a drop off area. To maximize the number of cars that can drop off, please pull up as far as you can until cars stop, then unload. For cars dropping off the other direction (coming from the high school), students must walk down to the cross walk and not cross traffic. Thanks.
Reminder for students
As we get closer to the end of the marking period, please remind your students to catch up on assignments and work through re-dos with their teachers. Teachers are available Tuesday-Thursday to work with students during morning advisory. They must coordinate with their teachers.
