FROM THE DESK OF PRINCIPAL HERRING
MARCH 27, 2024
Warm greetings to all our Ardmore families,
We trust that you are having a wonderful Spring Break! It fills us with joy to recognize our 5th-grade students for completing their MISA assessment. As we look ahead, students from 3rd to 5th grades will soon be engaging in the upcoming MCAP State Assessments. Your unwavering support during these assessments is truly appreciated. We value your partnership in ensuring the academic achievement of our students.
We would like to inform you that next week, Tuesday, April 2, there will be a half-day of asynchronous learning scheduled for students, running from 7:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Teachers will provide students with their assignments to be completed by noon. Kindly ensure that students have their Chromebooks charged over the weekend so they can promptly log in at 7:45 a.m. to begin their assignments.
We strongly encourage you to carefully read through this entire newsletter for comprehensive details. Through collaborations with Prince George's County Public Schools, Prince George's County Health Department, and Hazel Health, students can access physical and mental telehealth services conveniently at school or from home, completely free of charge for their families. To learn more, please view the accompanying video below.
We urge you to continue to relax and make the most of this break.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Herring, Principal
Ms. Holmes, Assistant Principal
