Record Number Of Anne Arundel County Students To Start Classes Sept. 5

ANNAPOLIS, MD - From Anne Arundel County Public Schools: Approximately 82,000 students – the most ever – are expected to fill seats in schools across the county when the 2017-2018 school year begins for most students on September 5.

Those students will be greeted by later school hours, with high schools beginning classes 13 minutes later than last year and all other schools starting 15 minutes later than a year ago.

With the exception of schools that will open one day late due to planned construction projects, the first day of classes for students in first through fifth, sixth, and ninth grades will be Tuesday, September 5. The staggered openings of secondary schools will give sixth- and ninth-graders a chance to get acclimated to their new surroundings before the remaining students return to class on Wednesday, September 6.

Kindergarten, prekindergarten, and ECI students will also start school on a staggered schedule. Parents should see the school calendar located on the AACPS website for details.
