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,
I wanted to let you know that your child will be bringing home extra materials today in case there is a virtual learning day next week. Anne Arundel County will use 3 snow days before calling a virtual day. Please leave these items in your child’s bookbag and be sure to return them when they return to school.
If you have any questions, please call the school office.
Thank you
Lorie Barnes, Principal
