We wanted to reach out to all our PAC families to see if anyone would be interested in becoming a substitute teacher here at PAC.

As a substitute teacher you could be on the same schedule as your children, choose to work only at PAC, and can choose to be a long-term substitute at times as well. If interested, please apply on the Calvert County website or contact PAC directly and we can help you get started.

Please review the PAC Family Handbook and complete the brief survey indicating you have read the handbook.

• School hours are 9:25 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. Doors open at 9:00 a.m. Kiss and Go line will close at 9:20 a.m. Morning openings begin promptly at 9:25 a.m. Students are expected to be in class and ready to go by 9:25 a.m.
• Dismissal begins promptly at 4:05 p.m. We ask if you are arriving early to sign your child out before the end of the school day, you must arrive prior to 3:50 p.m. In order to minimize disruptions during the end of the school day, students will not be called for an early dismissal after 3:50 p.m.
• If your student is being picked up early, please send in a note or an email to PACAttendance@calvertnet.k12.md.us letting the office know about the early departure. If someone other than the parent/guardian is picking up a student, written permission is required.

We are happy to tell you that Patuxent-Appeal Elementary School is a part of a program called:

Heart F.E.L.T. (Feeding Empty Little Tummies)

This program is offered through some of our local churches. Your child is eligible to receive a small bag of food for the weekend every Friday. The food is provided to you at NO cost. Contents will include small meals/supplemental items and snacks for the weekend.

If you have any questions about this program, please feel free to contact a member of the Behavioral Health Team, Mrs. Repass at 443-550-9721 or Mrs. McDermott at 443-550-9682.
