City Schools is looking for more amazing teachers! Do you know anyone who may be interested in becoming a teacher at City Schools?

Tell them to attend the upcoming Teacher Recruiting and Hiring Fair on Saturday, March 11. Teacher applicants can be interviewed, meet with school leaders, and get hired on the spot.

Now's a great time to start planning for summer learning! Check out our Summer Program Directory, which lists all the different programs City Schools will be offering this summer. Registration will begin in April so keep an eye out for registration information.

Some schools may offer their own summer programs that are not listed in the directory. Those schools will share information with families directly.

Do you know about City Schools Family University?

When families and schools work together to help children grow, children are more likely to be successful. That's why we want to partner with you - our families - to help build your confidence and ability to support your student’s learning. Through the Family University, you can access workshops, videos, and resources to help you support your student's learning and build strong a strong partnership with your school.

Baltimore City Public Schools presents FYI For Your Inspiration art exhibit, opening Wednesday, March 15, at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Make sure to stop by and see our students' amazing artwork, using traditional and surprising materials and techniques.

You'll find the student exhibitions in the Cone Wing. For more information, click HERE.
