INCLEMENT WEATHER
Just a
reminder that we follow Anne Arundel County Public Schools for late openings, early
closings and no school, due to bad weather. Always listen to WBAL for announcements,
especially if it begins to snow during the school day.
Since our kindergarten is a full day, we follow the late opening directions
for grades 1-8.
If the
county is already scheduled off, you must listen for an announcement from St.
No hot
lunches are served on delayed opening days.
