Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) will have a two-hour delayed opening tomorrow (Thursday) morning on account of expected sleet and ice tonight and tomorrow morning.
All students will report two hours later than the regular opening time, though essential personnel are expected to arrive at the normal time “if it is safe to do so based on weather conditions” while non-essential personnel should report two hours later.
The message was shared around 5:30 p.m. by Superintendent Melanie Kay-Wyatt:
Dear Alexandria City Public Schools Families and Staff,
All Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) schools and all offices will open with a two-hour delay on Thursday, February 6, 2025 due to inclement weather this evening and into the morning resulting in the potential for ice on roadways.
Students in Grades Pre-K-12 should report to school two hours later than regular opening time. Students who ride the bus to school should report to their bus stop in the morning two hours later than their regularly scheduled pickup time.
The Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI) will operate on the same delayed opening schedule for all ACPS schools. Morning Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) programs are canceled for tomorrow, February 6, 2025. Afternoon ECSE will report at the regular opening time and will be dismissed at the regular time.
All essential personnel, including building engineers, custodians, maintenance shop employees and security staff must still report to their work location at their normal time if safe to do so based on weather conditions. Please contact your direct supervisor for reporting instructions.
All non-essential personnel should report two hours later than their regularly scheduled time.
Visit the ACPS website for the most up-to-date information.
Thank you and please use caution on your way to school and work.
Sincerely,
Dr. Melanie Kay-Wyatt
Superintendent
