Anne Arundel County Public Schools Make Friday Weather Decision

Classes will start two hours late Friday, Feb. 13, in Anne Arundel County Public Schools because of the forecast extremely cold weather.

The wind chill will be at zero degrees when students are expected to be at bus stops in the morning.

The school system said Thursday night: “In light of the forecasted extremely cold temperatures, sub-zero wind chills, and high winds tomorrow morning, and to allow schools sufficient time to make sure utility systems and heating systems are working properly, all Anne Arundel County Public Schools will open two hours late tomorrow, February 13.”

There will be no morning half-day pre-kindergarten or ECI classes. Students in full-day pre-kindergarten classes will have class, and should report two hours later than normal on Friday.

District officials say parents should ensure their children are dressed appropriately for what are expected to be potentially challenging conditions as they wait at bus stops or walk to school Friday morning.

Parents concerned about students waiting at bus stops or walking to school in the forecasted conditions should make alternate arrangements to ensure their children get to school, say school officials.
