JUST IN: ACPS will return to regular scheduling Thursday

Alexandria City Public Schools is making a full return to regular scheduling tomorrow (Thursday) as the city continues to clear up streets and intersections.

Schools and offices will open on-time tomorrow, and all school activities and transportation plan to operate as scheduled, Superintendent Melanie Kay-Wyatt announced this afternoon.

Thursday will be ACPS’ first full, in-person day since Friday, Jan. 23, before the city was hit with 7 inches of snow and some of the region’s worst sleet and freezing rain conditions in 30 years.

The district closed facilities on Jan. 26 and operated with virtual learning from Jan. 28 through Monday, Feb. 2, before returning with two-hour delays on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

“Please continue to use caution on your way to school and work,” Kay-Wyatt said. “We appreciate your patience and understanding during this recent weather event.”

Crews have removed more than 5,000 loads of snow from Alexandria. Efforts are continuing today, as crews focus on the West End and snow piles concentrated at some of the city’s 2,000 intersections.

More information is available on the ACPS website.
