Holiday Spirit Week Events

Asynchronous Wednesday Specials Clubs

WEDNESDAY SPECIALS CLUBS ARE LISTED HERE

Asynchronous Wednesdays will Resume on December 2nd

Atlanta Public Schools has designated 12/2, 12/9, and 12/16 as asynchronous learning days.  These Wednesdays will allow staff to prepare their classrooms for in person learning and plan for the next 9 weeks of quality instruction. On these days, students will work independently on assignments posted in Google Classroom, complete IB projects, and work on incomplete and missed assignments.  We are also excited that students can have the opportunity to participate in a variety of specialist clubs whenever free. The full schedule of offerings and Zoom links can be found HERE. We will continue to evaluate, tweak and solicit feedback around our asynchronous Wednesday plan as we move throughout the month of December. As always, all information will be placed in students’ Google Classrooms and if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s teacher or a member of our admin team for assistance.

APS Frequently Asked Questions:

How is Atlanta Public Schools addressing the needs of its highest-needs students amid the COVID-19 pandemic?

Although Atlanta Public Schools strives to provide quality teaching and learning to every student amid the pandemic, we recognize that many of our students, especially our highest-needs learners and students with special needs, have lost invaluable learning time since March, placing them at a greater risk of not being prepared for college, career, and life. Many have experienced the loss of loved ones; others have grappled with racial injustices and police brutality; and others still face food and income insecurity.

It is clear that there is much work to do to meet the academic and social-emotional needs of our students amid this pandemic.

You will recall that when APS announced that we would remain virtual through at least January 2021, we also shared that we’re continuing to explore ways to support our highest-needs learners, particularly our low-incidence special needs population and our youngest students, including their potential return to some in-person services prior to January 2021.
