Last chance to turn in Hoops for Heart money. Monday morning we have one last opportunity for students to turn in money during homeroom. Students should check in with their homeroom teachers to get permission to turn in their Hoops money outside the gym doors.
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.
Good evening – This is a reminder that our Hoops for Heart donation collection is happening this week during lunch. Students can see the volunteers outside of the cafeteria to turn in their donation envelopes, confirm on-line fundraising totals and confirm their sign up for the Hoops or Heart division. Every student, regardless of how they collected donations (cash, checks or online), needs to see the volunteers outside of the cafeteria during their lunch between now and Friday, May 1st. Students who raised money online will not need to bring anything with them to the volunteer table, but still need to check in. Lines will get longer as the week goes on, so we encourage students to turn in donations and check in with the volunteers as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please see Mr. Kelley in the PE department.
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.
