Complete your Annual Student Verification
Sign in to (or sign up for) Campus Portal and complete your Annual Student Verification to update your contact info and fill out forms. This is an annual requirement because the information will be needed in case of an emergency and to keep you updated about your child's education.
This is a requirement in advance of the September 30 enrollment count, and as of last week, fewer than one-third of students have started or completed the verification process. Please complete your Annual Student Verification promptly.
Calling all student leaders
Voting for the next ASCBC members and Student Commissioner will begin in November!
Encourage every student leader you know to apply as a candidate now. The deadline to apply is September 18!
The Associated Student Congress of Baltimore City (ASCBC) is Baltimore’s elected student government, and the Student Commissioner is the student who sits on the School Board. They have a say in City Schools policy (rules for all schools), the City Schools budget, and more.
