Except for the dances. Schools will have spirit weeks, parades, and pep rallies, but no dances. Superintendent Arlotto said, "Sponsoring multi-hour events where hundreds of students are in very close proximity to each other at an indoor event is not one that is prudent at this time." With that said, Arlotto does hope to hold the dances later in the year.<br>  </p> <h2 style="margin-bottom: 5px;margin-top: 5px;font-size: 1.2em;line-height: 1.5;">Vaccine mandates come to AACPS</h2> <p style="display: block;margin: 13px 0;font-size: 16px;line-height: 1.5;margin-bottom: 10px;margin-top: 0;">Starting November 22, all AACPS employees and student-athletes must be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing.
