The Office of Community Schools recently supported a professional development initiative focused on Spanish language learning, featuring a two-week immersion course in Cusco, Peru. This program exemplifies the Community Schools' commitment to building relationships, supporting our students and families, and making AACPS a community where everyone can #BelongGrowSucceed.
