FALL is COMING!
We are back into our routines and finding our rhythm as we take on another school year. As we visit schools we see smiling faces with positive outlooks on the year. Keep up the great attitudes and the 1% Better outlook!
We ask that you please take a few moments to read through October's newsletter for information regarding upcoming professional development opportunities, new content specific resources, equipment giveaways and more! If you would like to see something specific in our newsletters this year, please let us know.
Thank you for all you do and we look forward to seeing you in your classrooms soon!

AACPS HPED now has an Instagram page and we would love to highlight the amazing work you do with your students. Please consider sending a video or photo with caption to Haydee Traver (htraver@aacps.org) so that we can highlight the great work you do every day!
Social Media Shares and Reminders:
The Office of Communications has also asked everyone to not take pictures of students we know do not have permission to publicly post. You should not blur or place emojis over students' faces when we are not sure if they have permission. Unless you know for sure that a student’s family has given permission- do not post photos/videos. Front office staff at your school, most likely the principal’s secretary, can print a report for you of students who do not have permission to be posted on social media.
This year’s hashtags are #AACPSFamily & #BelongGrowSucceed.
