APS Operations Update for Thursday, Jan. 28: Schools Closed; Offices Open On Time
All APS schools will be closed tomorrow and offices will be open on time. Essential personnel should report to work at their scheduled time.

We apologize that today’s notice is later than earlier this week, but we wanted to take more time to assess the situation across the County. Like you, we want to open schools as soon as possible to resume instruction. We still recognize, however, that there are still challenges with snow throughout the community in many neighborhoods. As a result, we have decided to close again tomorrow and our offices will be open on time. Please be assured that APS will open schools as soon as conditions improve. Thank you for your patience and understanding this week.

Todas las Escuelas Públicas de Arlington permanecerán cerradas el jueves, 28 de enero. Oficinas abrirán a tiempo, a su horario regular. El personal esencial debe presentarse al trabajo según lo programado.

Le pedimos disculpas que el aviso de hoy es después de la hora que normalmente hemos enviado una comunicación esta semana, pero queríamos tomar más tiempo para evaluar la situación en todo el condado. Al igual que usted, queremos abrir las escuelas tan pronto como sea posible para reiniciar la instrucción. Reconocemos, sin embargo, que todavía hay dificultades con la nieve en la comunidad. Como resultado, hemos decidido cerrar de nuevo mañana y nuestras oficinas estarán abiertas a su horario regular. Tenga por seguro que las Escuelas Públicas de Arlington abrirán tan pronto como las condiciones mejoren. Gracias por su paciencia y la comprensión de esta semana.
