Reminder to all parents that all 8th grade students will be taking the Social Studies MCAP on Wednesday 5/13 and Thursday 5/14.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Harford County Public Schools is committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of our students, staff, and families. Throughout May, we will be sharing resources and information to help our community thrive inside and outside the classroom.
The Harford County Board of Education has approved an adjustment to the 2026-2027 calendar involving built-in inclement weather days. Schools and offices will now be closed on March 1, June 1, and April 12, 2027, and those days will be used as makeup days, in the order listed, only if needed due to inclement weather cancellations.
The adjustment reflects guidance from the Maryland State Board of Education, which has expressed a preference for makeup days to be distributed throughout the school year, and the use of virtual instruction, rather than adding days to the end of the school year.
The full, updated 2026–2027 school calendar is available here. En Español.
Join Harford County Public Schools, the Office on Mental Health, UM Upper Chesapeake Health, and the Cook Center for Human Connection on May 8, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at Ripken Stadium for Your Mind Matters. This free family wellness event will include activities for the entire family including crafts, a bounce house, rock climbing, football, and a light race.
The event is free to attend, but registration is required. Visit harfordmentalhealth.org for more information and to register.

We will have a fundraiser night at Jarrettsville Creamery on Tuesday, March 24 from 5-9pm. A portion of all sales that evening will come right back to our school. We hope to see many of you there!
Thank you for your continued support!
Due to schools being closed, our Trivia night has been cancelled for this Friday, but will be rescheduled. Date to be announced soon.
From the Fallston High School Counseling Department:
Over the next few weeks Ms. Grupp will be meeting with each class to go over how to register for classes.
We need parents to review schedules with their student, sign the form that you saw the form, and we ask that you please make a copy or take a picture of the form so you have a copy for your records.
If you have any questions, you may reach out to your student's future Counselor, via email.
If you would like to submit a change in course(s), we ask that you email the counselor the course you would like to change by April 1st.
For information about courses: Please see detailed course descriptions in the Student Educational Planning Guide https://www.hcps.org/sepg/
