A
Change
is
a
part
of
life,
and
it
will
continue
to
be
a
part
of
anne
arundel
county
public
schools.
Thankfully
aacps
will
be
ushering
in
great
needed
change
that
has
been
in
the
making
for
many
many
years.
A
change
in
school
start
times
instantly.
You
might
be
wondering
why,
how
and
when
this
is
going
to
be
a
significant
initiative
that
all
students,
staff
and
their
families
will
be
affected
by
and
is
taking
effect,
this
fall
first,
why?
A
As
we
students
grow
our
bodies,
sleep
patterns,
change,
melatonin,
the
hormone
that
allows
us
to
fall
asleep
is
released
much
later
when
puberty
hits
than
it
was
when
we
were
younger
in
2014,
the
american
academy
of
pediatrics
made
a
statement
that
adolescents
aka
middle
school
and
high
school
age.
Students
should
not
start
school
before
8
30
a.m.
A
You
may
be
wondering
why
is
it
so
bad
that
we
start
school
earlier?
Research
shows
that
when
start
times
are
later
grades,
attendance
test
scores
and
graduation
rates
improve.
It
also
produces
fewer
sports
injuries,
fewer
car
accidents
and,
overall,
better
health,
including
the
mental
health
of
our
students.
A
A
Aacps
is
trying
to
do
everything
possible
to
improve
the
mental
health
and
well-being
of
our
students.
Research
has
shown
that
later
start
times,
produce
lower
incidence
of
depression,
anxiety
and
even
more
severe
mental
health
challenges
for
our
students.
Although
this
is
a
small
step
towards
bettering
the
mental
well-being
of
all
aacps
students,
it's
one.
We
must
take
to
inch
closer
to
our
goals.
A
As
a
fellow
student
who
works
after
school
and
participates
in
many
clubs
outside
of
the
school
day,
I
understand
the
concern
regarding
later
start
times.
What
will
happen
to
my
job?
My
internship,
my
sports
team
rest
assured
that
you
do
not
have
to
worry.
We
know
from
other
school
systems
around
the
nation
that
when
start
times
shift
communities
do
adjust,
students
still
hold
jobs,
and
internships
and
athletics
continue
with
great
success.
A
A
2223
school
hours,
you
can
go
there
to
learn
more
about
the
research
behind
this
important
change,
the
hours
for
your
particular
school
and
a
list
of
epa
cues,
and
if
you
still
have
a
question,
you
can
send
it
through
that
page
and
someone
from
aacps
will
get
back
to
you
throughout
my
time
in
aacps.
I
remember
waking
up
before
the
sun
rose
in
the
morning,
walking
to
the
bus,
stop
and
pitched
blackness
during
winter
or
entering
my
first
period.
