Thank you Nichols-Bethel for providing this wonderful service to our students! Emergency School Closings Please keep in mind that individual schools have to close sometimes when the rest of the county schools are open. For example, elementary schools have closed due to the loss of electricity. When this happens, we are relying on the plan that you provided to us in August so that we can get your child home safely. If your plan has changed or you need a new form, please contact Diane Gallow at 410-222-6514. Don’t forget to sign up for automatic e-mail notification regarding school closings at Schools-Out.Com. Enter your e-mail to receive latest school closing status notifications. This will keep you informed of what is happening at your child’s school. Open Door Open Door is registering children for the fall of 2008. The Open Door before and after school program provides students with breakfast before school, after- school snacks, and in both sessions offers choices, puzzles, games, toys, crafts, outdoor play, and a quiet homework area. Hours are 7:00AM until school begins and after school until 6:00PM. Call 410-825-6300 for more information. 24 Tournament A huge congratulations to our Odenton student competitors in the regional 24 Tournament held in April.

Mr. James Steven is completing his student teaching with Miss Price and is also working part-time as a long-term substitute in a special education class. Miss Lisa Lipson is also completing her graduate studies as well as working as a long term substitute in the 4th grade.
