The Virginia Board of Education is now seeking comments from the general public on the proposed computer science curriculum framework for use in Virginia public schools. 

Starting July 15th, Amherst County Public Schools has implemented online electronic registration for the upcoming school year. Parents/Guardians have the opportunity to complete registration forms online instead of completing them manually through the ECollect Forms service. The process is very simple and should be a time saver for everyone involved. Ecollect forms are accessed from your PowerSchool Parent Portal account. https://sis.amherst.k12.va.us/public/
