Day 35 \u2014 Learning from home experience<\/b><\/p>\n

As we finish another week teaching, learning and working from home, I am constantly reminded of the dedication of our ACPS staff and, with this, the importance that we recognize their efforts and service.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, as we publish the nominees for ACPS Support Staff of the Year, I\u2019d like to give a special shout out to those who work behind the scenes to ensure our school division remains an effective and innovative place to teach, work and learn. Your hard work and dedication is so appreciated. In ACPS, we are so fortunate to have support staff that make a difference every single day for our young people. Please do not miss the behind-the-scenes video of our food distribution produced by Byron Moraga of Volunteer Alexandria.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, we could not let this week conclude without sharing some of the wonderful photographs of our children paying tribute to our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week. Their smiling faces and kind messages mean so much to us all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, I would like to wish all of our students taking AP exams including my daughter the best of luck. These exams begin on Monday and are being administered in a very non-traditional way; however, I know that our young people are so resilient and will do their very best!<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay safe, stay healthy and stay informed \u2014 and don\u2019t forget to take the family survey:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support Staff of the Year Nominees<\/b><\/h2>\n

We all know it takes a village to keep ACPS running smoothly and some of the most critical members of our staff can be those working behind the scenes in supporting roles.<\/span><\/p>\n

So it\u2019s important we recognize those efforts and say thank you to all those who contribute to making our school division a happy and successful place to work and learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the employee who selects the food our students eat, to the person who switches off the last light at night, every person contributes. Don\u2019t miss the behind-the scenes <\/a><\/span>video<\/span><\/a> of our food distribution produced by Byron Moraga of Volunteer Alexandria. Each week our team from School Nutrition Services distribute in excess of 30,000 meals.<\/span><\/p>\n
