Summary:
|
|
Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) started its annual calendar development process early this school year. Throughout the development process, the Calendar Committee, which is composed of teachers, support staff, parents/guardians, and school and central office administrators, considered feedback from students, employees, families, and community members. The work prioritized the following goals:
Create a calendar that meets state requirements for instructional hours and supports the division’s efforts to engage students and improve opportunities and achievement. Enable time for division-level and school-based professional learning and collaboration for staff to deepen their understanding of instructional practices that support student learning. Embed time for teachers to work individually on such tasks as updating lesson plans, developing assessments, grading assignments, preparing materials, etc.
The committee has recommended two calendar options for the 2025-2026 school year (attached) and would like to request feedback from the School Board. |
