Facing Blowback From New Summer School Restrictions, APS Apologizes to Teachers

May 18, 2021 at 3:45pm Arlington Public Schools is apologizing for how it handled the news that it would have to restrict summer school eligibility. At first, the school system expanded summer school eligibility to students with disabilities, English learners, and those struggling to achieve passing grades. That was until it turned out that there are not enough teachers to support them. Last Monday, APS told parents and teachers that “despite having offered financial incentives to teachers to teach summer school, there are fewer applicants than the number of students who are eligible for summer instruction at the elementary level, making it impossible for APS to offer summer strengthening support to all eligible elementary students.”

APS Mulls Post-Pandemic Virtual Learning Option for Secondary Students

March 16, 2021 at 3:55pm For the past year, Arlington Public Schools students have been learning from home to varying degrees of success. As of this morning (Tuesday), all grade levels have access to two days a week of in-person instruction. Some have struggled during remote learning as is evidenced by dropping GPAs and rising rates of students failing classes. But others, according to APS officials, are excelling. “We know right now that some students are really thriving in this virtual environment so we want to be able to keep that option open to those students,” said Sarah Putnam, the Director of Curriculum and Instruction for APS, during a virtual open house last month.
