Dear Students, Parents/Guardians, and Families, It is a privilege to serve as Superintendent and to work alongside such a dedicated and supportive community. Education is a shared responsibility, and when students, families, staff, and community members work together, we create the conditions for success in every school and classroom. Our work continues to be guided by the theme Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow and by our five strategic priorities: School Climate and Safety, Student Achievement, Student Engagement, High Performing Workforce, and Family and Community Involvement. These priorities reflect our commitment to helping every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally. As we implement the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, we remain focused on preparing students for college, careers, and life. We are building safe and welcoming environments where all students feel supported and empowered to reach their full potential. This handbook outlines the policies and expectations that help maintain a positive school climate and support student success. It includes our Code of Conduct, which emphasizes the connection between respectful behavior and effective learning. I encourage all families to review it carefully and discuss it with their students. Our staff is proud to partner with you in supporting student growth and achievement. We ask every student to take pride in their role as a responsible member of our school community. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to excellence. Sincerely, Micah C. Stauffer, Ed.D.
