Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) announced the schedule for back-to-school nights at regional elementary, middle and high schools. 

More than 77,000 students are expected to enter AACPS classrooms this fall, and back-to-school night gives parents the opportunity to learn more about their child’s teachers, and the instruction their children will receiving, according to a press release from AACPS.

“Helping our children achieve success is a team effort the required parents to be involved in the educational process,” said schools Superintendent Kevin Maxwell in the release. “Back-To-School Night provides the first of many opportunities throughout the school year for parents to interact with teachers and learn about classroom procedures and the things their children will be studying. I would urge every parent to take full advantage of these opportunities."

Here is a schedule of back-to-school nights for local schools.
