7:40 a.m ., 9/12/25: An accident has closed westbound Route 50 in Annapolis near Route 450. This will cause delays in students being transported to school this morning, most notably in the Annapolis, Broadneck, and South River clusters. At this time, all buses will make all stops but there will likely be delays in getting to some stops. Families transporting students to school in those clusters this morning and staff traveling to schools in those clusters should allow additional time for travel.
We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Our very own Mrs. Karen Jones-Lantzy has been nominated for the Anne Arundel County Public Schools Teacher of the Year.
For over 32 years, Mrs. Jones-Lantzy has poured her heart into teaching, inspiring countless students with her dedication, passion, and care. Her impact reaches far beyond the classroom, touching generations of families and leaving a lasting legacy in our school community.
This nomination is a well-deserved recognition of her extraordinary commitment to education and the lives she continues to shape every day. We are so proud of her and grateful that she is part of our school family.
Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Jones-Lantzy on this incredible honor!
