Change to Monday, April 22 - Please Read

Monday, April 22 was previously designated as a professional development/possible make-up day in the 2023–2024 traditional school year calendar. This day will shift to an asynchronous learning day where students will engage in the learning experiences and complete work asynchronously. Students will have 10 days to submit their asynchronous work from the virtual day. Submission of the asynchronous work will be used to take attendance in order to meet the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) attendance requirements. More information will be provided as we get closer to April 22nd.
