Please ensure your child does not bring any toys that resemble weapons to school. Any violations will be addressed in accordance with the BCPS handbook on student conduct.
Students who engage in these behaviors will be subject to all legally allowable consequences including, but not limited to suspension and expulsion. School-based consequences are in addition to action taken by law enforcement. Baltimore County Public Schools will continue to work closely with the Baltimore County Police Department to respond swiftly to these situations, protect students and staff, and hold accountable those who break the rules.
Positive school climates have a tremendous impact on student well-being and learning. We believe that working together, we can create and maintain safe schools and workplaces where all students and staff thrive. Link: BCPS Student Handbook
BCPS Parent University FACEtime E-Newsletter
Parent University is offered through the BCPS Office of Family and Community Engagement, which we affectionately call FACE! We provide tools and resources to BPCS families to support learning at home. In the past, before social-distancing, one of the ways we offered these resources was through in-person workshops hosted by community members and schools. We also have a large collection of online resources that are available as we navigate through this incredibly unique time in our lives. We hope you enjoy what we have to share.
