There are many web apps students and teachers can use on their Chromebooks and in the Chrome browser on other systems. Chrome extensions are installed from the Chrome Web Store to expand the capabilities of the Chrome browser and Chromebooks. To begin, please click the heading above to get started with Chrome Extensions for students. We ask for families to activate and pin these extensions. This will help make them easily accessible for your child and activate when needed during virtual learning. Also, depending on the needs of the class or individual student other Extensions may be recommended by your child's teacher.

As promised, the St. Ambrose School's 2nd Quarter reopening Plan for the 2020-2021 school year is available today for families to read.

Happy Holidays Saint Ambrose parents, As we continue to prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas, the Saint Ambrose HSA would like to share our Teachers Wish List. Our hardworking teachers provided much needed items on the Teacher’s Wish List form to notify us that they have some classroom items that you may be able to help them with!

The 2018 legislative session concluded with Maryland tax benefits in place for parents who plan to use 529 investment plans to pay their K-12 tuition.
