During the week of February 8-12, all ACPS students will be working to complete two Project Based Learning (PBL) opportunities in the areas of Humanities and STEM. These PBLs will be downloaded to students’ Chromebooks this week and next, to allow parents an opportunity to review content prior the week of remote instruction. Students may choose which two PBLs are completed from the choices provided. Parents should contact their child’s school with any questions or concerns.

On Thursday, December 10th, ACPS proposed to the School Board an At-Home Learning week from February 8-12. Although this request has not been approved by the Board, we want to prepare families for their potential decision at the January Meeting. During this week, all students will work from home on Project Based Learning opportunities while allowing teachers, administrators, and the division to prepare for the upcoming transition of students to the second semester.

Thanks to a waiver from the state, 8th and 11th grade students in a semester 1 English course will not be required to take the upcoming Standard of Learning writing test. As a replacement, a division assessment will be preloaded onto a flash drive for Amherst Remote Academy students to pick up beginning Monday, November 30th. You will need to fill out this Google form to select your mandatory pick-up date/time. Students will need to be present to sign the testing ticket.

ARA students and families - We have made a slight change to our ARA attendance procedure. You may have a new advisory teacher where you will take attendance. In most cases, this teacher is one of your classroom teachers, which will make contacting them easier for families. This change will take effect for the week of November 30. Please contact your teacher or administrator with any questions or concerns.

On Friday, November 13, 2020 Governor Ralph S. Northam announced new statewide measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.
One of these measures is to limit gatherings to 25 people. The social gathering limit does not apply to instructional education settings, including classrooms, buses, cafeteria, and recess. Therefore, ACPS’ health mitigation plan will not change at this time.
We are still awaiting guidance from the VHSL on extracurricular activities. ACPS will continue to keep families informed as we receive information.

It has come to our attention that false information has been passed throughout the community regarding several policies that our School Board is currently reviewing. The policies in question are about non-discrimination and harassment. Nowhere in these policies does it address anything about the use of restrooms, locker rooms, etc. If you have not done so already, please read the referenced policies linked below. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
