In order to make up for the change in schedule caused by inclement weather, Monday, Nov. 7, will now be a half day for students. We apologize for the inconvenience to families; however, this adjustment provides teachers the time required to finalize grades. As a reminder, half days of school do not impact the overall school calendar.

Due to fog in the area, Caroline County Public Schools will be operating on a two hour delay this morning. Today was scheduled as a half day of school. Because of the delayed opening, it will now be a FULL AFTERNOON of school with dismissal at the usual time.

Attention families of students with disabilities! The next Special Education Citizens Advisory Committee (SECAC) Meeting will be Thursday, Nov. 17, 6-8 pm at the Board of Education office, or tune in virtually.
