Wednesday, May 6 is National School Nurse Day. Harford County Public Schools is proud to recognize our school nurses for their dedication, expertise, and compassionate care for our students each and every day. Thank you!
Good evening: This is Bryan Pawlicki Principal of C. Milton Wright High School asking everyone to check their email and read the C. Milton Wright Newsletter for the month of May, 2026. In this edition you will find information about the calendar in May, Class of 2026 reminders, Testing and Dual Enrollment, news and updates from several departments and updates from our parent groups. Please use the links below to access the Newsletter.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Harford County Public Schools is committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of our students, staff, and families. Throughout May, we will be sharing resources and information to help our community thrive inside and outside the classroom.
The Harford County Board of Education has approved an adjustment to the 2026-2027 calendar involving built-in inclement weather days. Schools and offices will now be closed on March 1, June 1, and April 12, 2027, and those days will be used as makeup days, in the order listed, only if needed due to inclement weather cancellations.
The adjustment reflects guidance from the Maryland State Board of Education, which has expressed a preference for makeup days to be distributed throughout the school year, and the use of virtual instruction, rather than adding days to the end of the school year.
The full, updated 2026–2027 school calendar is available here. En Español.

CMW Community,
We are hopeful to welcome students and staff back to school on Monday, February 2, 2026, following the recent weather-related closures. We recognize that the number of missed days has been challenging for our school community, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility as we work to safely resume instruction.
Our custodial team, in close coordination with HCPS Facilities, has worked diligently to clear sidewalks and parking areas in preparation for reopening. We want to thank them for their work to dig us out. As we return, please anticipate some congestion during morning arrival. We kindly ask families and staff to allow extra time, remain patient with auto traffic, buses, and pedestrians, and prioritize a safe and orderly arrival for all.
Due to the school closures this week, adjustments are necessary to the academic calendar. The last day of the second quarter and first semester will be Tuesday, February 3, 2026. This schedule provides one A Day and one B Day to appropriately bring the quarter and semester to a close. Teachers will communicate directly with students regarding expectations and procedures for submitting assignments.
Please continue to follow communications from HCPS for an further information as to getting back to school after the storm.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate these disruptions together. We look forward to seeing the students and teachers back at CMW soon.
Bryan Pawlicki
Principal
