ACPS Verified with Pride

FROM ACPS: 

Alexandria City Public Schools launched  √ACPS Verified with Pride on June 13, 2011.

This re-registration initiative requires ALL rising 3rd, 6th, and 9th grade students to re-register for enrollment in ACPS at their home school.

By re-registering, families will assist ACPS in having the most accurate and up-to-date information for students including emergency contact information. This process will allow ACPS to update students' cumulative folders and student records. Most importantly, the enrollment verification process will provide up-to-date contact information for parents and guardians and allow ACPS to reach parents quickly in emergency situations. Additionally, updated information will provide cost savings with less returned mail and more efficient use of resources.

Why be √ACPS Verified with Pride?

Participating in √ACPS Verified with Pride will give families the opportunity to participate in the decision-making process by making sure that their students are accurately counted in enrollment and budget calculations. Participating in √ACPS Verified also ensures that families receive valuable information and can be notified promptly of an emergency involving their child. Everyone benefits from participation in the √ACPS Verified with Pride initiative.

What do you need to do?

As the parent or guardian of a rising 3rd grader, you should bring the appropriate documents for registration to your child's home school. Parents/guardians of rising 6th and 9th graders should bring the appropriate documents for registration to the main office of the school your child will attend for the 2011-2012 school year. The registrar at your school will assist you in the registration process. You will receive a letter of notification requesting that you re-register. If you do not receive a letter, but have a rising 3rd, 6th, or 9th grader, please contact the registrar at your child's home school for more information.
