When each school began to plan their important work based on AACPS’s 2018-2023 Strategic Plan during the spring of 2018, school teams reflected on their school culture, their community, and the key factors contributing to student achievement.  Each school was then asked to consider which Strategic Plan Indicators would have the greatest positive impact for their students. School leadership teams selected indicators and developed plans to focus and guide their efforts.  Please come with us on our journey as we describe why, what, and how we do our work to serve our students and families of our school.

North Glen Elementary School is located in Glen Burnie, MD, and is home to almost 300 students who come to school every day excited to see their teachers and eager to learn. Our faculty and staff care about each student and want to help them grow and reach their full potential. We proudly serve the Point Pleasant, Cromwell Fountain, Glen Ridge and Morris Hills communities. Many of our students’ families have multi-generational links to the school, with children and grandchildren attending our school. North Glen Elementary continues to be a consistent, stable presence in the community. 

As a targeted Title 1 school, we are able to provide extra resources to students who are economically disadvantaged to support their academic achievement. With these funds, we have been able to provide a Title 1 math teacher and a Title 1 reading resource teacher to support identified students, to plan engaging lessons, and to ensure that the instructional needs of our students are being met. Title 1 funding also provides for after school activities that support parents’ understanding of common core standards and provides for additional review of classroom instruction for these targeted students.
