We appreciate your patience and understanding as Anne Arundel County Police and the Transportation Department ensured everyone’s safety.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact the school at 410-424-2400.
Yours in Partnership,

Good afternoon Families,
We want to inform you that students who ride bus 777 or bus 156 are currently still at school due to a bus accident that occurred this afternoon.
Anne Arundel County Police and the Transportation Department are on-site and actively conducting an investigation. Please be assured that no students were harmed and all students are safe.
As soon as the buses are cleared for departure, they will proceed with transporting students home.
If you prefer to pick your child up from school, you are welcome to do so. Please bring a valid photo ID, and ensure that the adult picking up the student is listed on the student's emergency contact form. Come into the office and the front office staff will release your student to you.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Assistant Principal,
Shakiyla Shockley

#TBT Spotlight on CTE
Ms. Ingle, a former student at the Center of Applied Technology South(CAT-South), is now the HVAC Instructor at CAT-South.
It is rewarding to have the opportunity to give back to the school that gave me so much. I never thought I would be able to be a teacher due to learning disabilities, but that only made me stronger as a teacher and as a student. I always say my brains are in my hands, but due to my learning disabilities, I can see things and explain things in a better way to help people understand. Now, as a teacher, I help other students with the same disability learn that having an IEP or 504 is just your toolbox, and your tools are there to help you succeed with the job at hand.
As a student, I competed in Skills USA and placed third in the States Competition. Now, I am also an NTHS member and a big supporter of Skills USA and what it stands for, which is why I help support this competition every year.
In this week's edition of Thursday Thoughts, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell discusses the impact of the International Parent & Community Leadership Academy. #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSFamily
