Emergency and Inclement Weather Communications
Now that the school year has begun, we'd like to share a few reminders about emergency and inclement weather communications at St. Anne's School:
  • As a general rule, St. Anne's School follows Anne Arundel County Public Schools regarding school closures due to inclement weather. You may check the status of AACPS on their website, www.aacps.org.
  • In the event of a school closure, delayed opening or early dismissal, this news will be posted in the announcements section of our homepage, as well as on our Facebook and Twitter accounts. An email will also be sent to you regarding the closure. 
  • In the event of an early dismissal, you will also be notified via our AlertNow emergency notification system. You will be notified via voice message to your home, work and/or cell phone and well as by email. You may also opt-in to receive emergency text messages.
  • In the event that we do not follow AACPS regarding school closures, or if we have to close school or have a delayed opening on short notice, you will be notified via our AlertNow emergency notification system. We also use our AlertNow emergency notification system to communicate with families should an emergency arise at school.
  • To opt-in to receive text message alerts, visit www.alertnowsms.com and enter our unique pin: 638650. 

                    


Annapolis Twos
Due to popular demand, we've opened up additional sections of our Annapolis Twos program. The Annapolis Twos program is offered to students who are two years old by September 1. Sessions range from 2 - 2 1/2 hours and parents can select from two or three day options. If you know families who may be interested in this program, please direct them to Jul Lee Martensson, Director of the Annapolis Twos at jmartensson@St.AnnesSchool.org or 410.263.8650 ext 106.
