Dear Families,
We hope this message finds you well. As part of our commitment to maintaining uninterrupted learning, we want to ensure that our students can continue their education even in the event of inclement weather. To that end, we are implementing a plan for virtual learning on days when severe weather prevents us from holding in-person classes. Please complete the loaner Chromebook link below so your child can receive an electronic device from the school.

As we approach the WIDA ACCESS for ELLs testing, we want to remind families about the importance of your students’ participation. This test helps families understand their students’ English language skills in Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing—important information that helps guide the support needed for their success in school. 🗓️ Be sure your student is present on testing days. 🎯 No need to study, just focus on showing what they know! 💬 Talk with your student about their language development and encourage them to do their best. Together, we are a team, and your student's success is our top priority! #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSFamily

The Anne Arundel County Public Schools Office of School and Family Partnerships is seeking applicants for its tenth International Parent and Community Leadership Academy (IPCLA). The deadline to apply is January 19, 2025. English application link: https://forms.gle/fZ9Q2SkShPKcAxcKA. More information, including the application form in multiple languages, is available at www.aacps.org/ipcla. #AACPSFamily #AACPSAwesome #BelongGrowSucceed
7:30 a.m., 1/9/25: Confirming that all schools will open on a two-hour delayed schedule today. There will be no morning half-day ECI classes, and no morning sessions at the Centers of Applied Technology North or South.
8:00 p.m., 1/8/25: To answer a question we have received about Thursday morning’s reassessment: The reassessment would allow school system staff to continue to address any issues at schools. It does not mean students would report to school at their standard start times or that students would engage in virtual instruction. We have every expectation that we will open schools on a two-hour delayed schedule Thursday. We hope this clarifies the issue.
4:30 p.m., 1/8/25: All Anne Arundel County Public Schools will open two hours late on Thursday, Jan. 9. There will be no morning half-day ECI classes, and no morning sessions at the Centers of Applied Technology North or South. Families transporting students to school and those whose students walk to school should allow additional time and utilize extreme caution. A reassessment of conditions will take place on Thursday morning and any changes to this status will be announced by 7:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Our #AACPSAwesome Operations teams are out at schools this morning clearing lots and walks so that we can get students and staff back to school as quickly as possible. Please do your part by staying away from these areas so crews can do their work.
Residents should also clear the sidewalks in front of their homes so our students have safe paths to walk to schools when they reopen.
Let's all pitch in together! Thanks!

No, Bob doesn’t know yet if there will be school on Monday. But Bob DOES KNOW you can help support CAT South students going to state, regional, and national competitions through the purchase of “Keep Calm” apparel. All of the proceeds help CAT South students. You can place orders at https://www.catsouth.org/schoolstore.
As for Monday, we’ll all just have to stay tuned. Bob will let you know when he knows.

Dear Families,
We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to inform you about our plans to ensure continuity of learning in the event that school is closed on Thursday, January 9, 2025, and Friday, January 10, 2025.
To maintain instructional progress during these potential closures, students will be assigned asynchronous assignments. These assignments will be distributed to students prior to the closure and will also be posted on BrightSpace, our online learning platform. Additionally, the assignments will be accessible on the school’s webpage for your convenience.
Teachers will be available to provide virtual support for students who require assistance with their assignments. Specific details on how to access this support, including times and virtual meeting links, will be provided along with the assignments.
We appreciate your partnership in supporting your child’s education. If you have any questions or concerns about these arrangements, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the school office.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Phillip Elliott
Principal
