Your child’s teacher will send a more detailed schedule when we are in a virtual learning event. If you need to request a device or want more information about the program, visit https://www.aacps.org/page/student-devices-loaner-program
Your child’s teacher will post all learning materials on their Brightspace page. This resource - VID Google Meet Link will help you and your child access these resources.

Today over 500 teaching assistants gathered virtually for AACPS' first Paraeducator Symposium, Empowering Paraeducators for Student Independence, organized by the Division of Specialized Instruction & Early Intervention Services. This professional development provided our valuable teaching assistants, from early childhood through high school, with sessions on a variety of topics including enhancing inclusive learning environments for all students. Seeing families as valuable members of our students' teams, the latest edition of the Family Academy features a session entitled, Inclusion: What is it and Why is it so Important? available to watch on the Family Academy YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/iFNZlPKmG24 (English), https://youtu.be/HNv-TpYadzc (Spanish)
