Maryland School Report Card (NEW)
Dear Parents and Guardians,
On Thursday, March 9, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) released its accountability report card—the Maryland Report Card—for every school in the state of Maryland, designed to measure the success of schools and identify areas for improvement. The Maryland Report Card was last released in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SAT School Day (UPDATE)
The message below was previously shared via email on Friday, March 10, 2023.
Good evening, Einstein Students and Parents/Guardians:
I am writing to give everyone an update on the plan for SAT Day which is scheduled for Wednesday, March 22nd.
When you click this link, you will find the following information about SAT Day:
- What each class will do during the testing block (7:45am-11:55am)
- The bell schedule for the day
Important to Note:
- Students who are not testing (9th, 10th, and 12th graders) will engage in social emotional learning during the testing block 7:45am-11:55am while the 11th graders are testing.
- The handful of 9th, 10th, and 12th graders who have registered for the SAT will be added to 11th grade homerooms to take their test, unless they have accommodations.
- Academic classes will not begin until 12:30pm and each class will last 12-13 minutes.
- Test-takers who arrive after 8am will not be allowed to test on SAT Day.
- If you want to be sure that your student receives his or her accommodations for SAT Day, please email or call your child's case manager as soon as possible to confirm.
- Test-takers need to bring their own calculators to the test. If a student is not able to purchase or borrow one before test day, they should contact their math teacher as soon as possible.
The testing room assignments will be distributed this upcoming week but at this point I can share that 11th graders will test in their homerooms with their homeroom teacher. This does not apply to students with accommodations who will receive another classroom for testing; that information will be disseminated this week also.
If you have any questions about testing, please email or call me at 240-740-2700.
Thank you!
Aliciamarie Johnson, Assistant Principal and School Testing Coordinator

AEHS Local Project Prom (REPEAT)
Einstein is also collecting donations in hopes of running our own "Project Prom" of sorts in early April! The purpose is to collect gently used prom attire for students, to reduce the cost associated with proms.
Teens within our Einstein community who are in need of formal wear will have the opportunity on a Saturday in early April to come and select what they need at no cost to them! The media center will be accepting the following donations until March 17th:
- Gently worn or new dresses (sizes 0-26) (prom, bridesmaids, cocktail and after five)
Gently worn or new shoes (sizes 0-12) (strappy sandals, pumps, mid to high heels, men's dress shoes)
Gently worn tan pants, dress pants (any size for all genders)
Ties, purses, bow ties, any accessories!
Thank you for your time and contributions we are hoping the combined effort enables young adults who participate in Project Prom not only to look their best, but feel their best on this special occasion!!
