American Education Week—a Great Time to Get Involved!

Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) wants to help families stay involved in their children’s education—and American Education Week is a great time to do that! A national event to raise awareness and support for public schools, American Education Week takes place this year November 12-19, and offers opportunities for families to learn more about what is happening in their students’ schools—and the district overall.
