Good afternoon from Mayland Early College High School. This is a brief reminder that textbooks from spring and summer courses must be returned by next Tuesday to ensure that students get the needed textbooks for the fall semester. School staff members are working diligently to ensure all textbooks are ready. If books are not returned promptly then our supply is limited. Thank you and enjoy the remainder of your summer break.
