Let the 2011-2012 School Year Begin!

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

Happy School Year to all students, school faculty and parents! Summer is unofficially over and by the end of the week your student will be knee-deep in books and assignments.

To make sure your student has the best school year possible, check out some of these tips issued from the American Academy of Pediatrics:

1. Choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps-the more comfortable with the weight of the books, the better.
2. Always utilize all the comparts your backpack offers. Spread the weight of the contents around and always pack the heaviest item/book closest to the center of the back.
3. Stay positive! Highlight all the benefits of starting a new school year-new friends, seeing old friends, and being able to participate in the classes they enjoy again.
4. Schedule ample homework time and set a rule that the tv stays off until school work is finished.

For these tips and much more, be sure to visit the AAP website on Back to School Tips.

Good luck and everyone enjoy your first day!

Calvert County Public Schools Introduces Smartboards

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

Calvert County Public Schools has implemented a new technology in the area-An interactive Smartboard in the classroom.

The Smartboard has many exciting functions. The board has the ability to convert handwriting into typed writing that can be increased or decreased in size and add a photo to the script complete with sound. Most importantly, the Smartboard is fully interactive. Lessons that have been developed specifically to be used on the Smartboard can convert math functions and encourage the student to not only learn the material but be involved in the teaching process.

Congratulations to Calvert County schools for such a significant step in bettering a student’s learning opportunity.

Back to School

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

As the summer days continue, one thing is for sure: It’s time to head back to school. And students in our College Station community not only have the new Barstow Elementary school less than a mile away, our middle school students get to take advantage of the brand new Calvert Middle School.

The new Calvert Middle School is on Chesapeake Boulevard in Prince Frederick, which is located behind the Fox Run Shopping Center. Teachers began moving into the school just last month but the doors will be open for the 2010-2011 school year. The school features special art classrooms, a large gym and will house staff and up to 650 students.

While it’s not completed yet, high school students will also have a completely renovated Calvert High School in the near future.

Good luck to everyone heading back to school and to the staff and students who live in our College Station Community!
