5:15 a.m., 12/5/25: Due to inclement weather and anticipated hazardous road conditions in parts of the county, all Anne Arundel County Public Schools will open two hours late today. There will be no morning half-day ECSE classes, and no morning sessions at the Centers of Applied Technology North or South. A reassessment of conditions will take place this morning and any changes to this status will be announced by 7:30 a.m. today.
Bus 457 (Yellow) is not running today so Bus 455 (Blue) will be delivering those students to their stops AFTER they deliver their students first. If you would like to pick up your student that rides 457 from school instead of having them wait, please contact the front office so we can have those students waiting for you. Sorry for any inconvenience.
