As of today, Gov. Hogan has ordered all schools to remain closed until April 24th. With the state of Virginia recently canceling school for the rest of the year, we are mindful that our state may eventually follow suit. The school Board is holding a special conference call tonight to discuss our plans for the next month, as well as contingencies for an unceremonious end to the school year, should that occur.

The AHCNS Board will communicate with class reps immediately following the meeting and send further information shortly thereafter. Please keep an eye out for communications from your reps in the next day or so. Please know that we are here and working on how best to go forward in this challenging time.

We hope you are all staying healthy and safe, practicing social distancing and regularly washing hands, both large and small. ... See MoreSee Less
