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.
