Hurricane Helene severely damaged much of Anna Maria Island, so Anna Maria Elementary will not be able to have classes on its campus until conditions improve.

The district has made arrangements for Stewart Elementary in northwest Bradenton to host students and staff from Anna Maria Elementary. The two schools will share classrooms and use a team teaching model at Stewart until AME students and staff can return to their home campus, according to the school district.
