COVID test kits for the holiday break
Before the Thanksgiving and winter breaks, we will provide COVID test kits to every student and all school staff. Students and staff should take the tests one to two days before returning to school and report any positive cases to our contact tracing team at 443-984-1200 or contacttracing@bcps.k12.md.us.

Middle and High School Choice Process
At City Schools, students choose their middle and high schools. The School Choice application will be available on December 1. To help prepare for the application process, the Choice Guide is now available to view online in English and Spanish.
Join City Schools on Saturday, December 3 for the annual Choice Fair at the Baltimore Convention Center!
