OMES Families,
Our school is being proactive in response to potential weather forecasts for tomorrow. Today, each student will be sent home with a Chromebook. BCPS hasn't made any school decisions for tomorrow at this time. However, our school is working to ensure we are prepared for any potential decision. Our hope and intention is to have a normal school day tomorrow.
