Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be a virtual workday for students and teachers at Alexandria City Public Schools.
ACPS facilities will remain closed for all activities for a third consecutive day due to inclement weather, Superintendent Melanie Kay-Wyatt announced this afternoon. Students, teachers and staff will instead move to synchronous virtual learning plans.
“Class times will include synchronous instruction via Zoom, which means live virtual instruction with teachers, as well as independent work,” Kay-Wyatt wrote. “Teachers will also provide virtual office hours. Schools will communicate the daily bell schedule for the school day.”
ACPS’ nutrition services plan to distribute lunches free of charge to students under 18 at the following locations from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. tomorrow:
- Alexandria City High School, 3330 King Street – Door #34
- Charles Barrett Elementary School, 1115 Martha Custis Dr – Main Entrance
The meals are provided through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s meal waiver program.
Families are encouraged to check students’ Canvas or Clever accounts “no later than 8 a.m.” for specifics about scheduling. Students’ attendance will be taken through these accounts.
No new content will be taught tomorrow, and the closures will also delay grade postings, according to the announcement.
Essential personnel, including custodians and maintenance workers, are still required to report to work “if safe to do so.”
More details are available on the ACPS website.
