In light of forecasted icy conditions, all Albemarle County public schools will delay opening by two hours on Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Conditions will be assessed in the morning to determine if schools should close.
Buses will plan to operate on a two-hour delay.
Teachers and 12-month employees should plan to report to work two hours later than normal.
A parent involvement campaign now underway in Albemarle County Public Schools and Charlottesville City Schools is reminding parents to simply "Be There" for their children. Being There means to be engaged with children so that they feel loved and valued. It does not require any special time or talent, or any monetary outlay. The campaign encourages parents to be their child's favorite teacher, searching for "teachable moments" in everyday activities, turning the ordinary, such as doing dishes or laundry or yard work, into the extraordinary as it becomes time spent engaged with your children.
