Welcome to the fourth edition of ACPS TechKnow, a monthly newsletter to keep our school communities in the know about technology in ACPS! In this staff edition, we’re inviting you to participate in Digital Learning Day on February 29!
We are looking forward to our next Division Professional Learning Community (DPLC) and Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) Professional Development (PD) Day on Tuesday, March 5. Our schedule for March 5 differs from previous schedules, so please review the schedule carefully.
The sooner you start planning for retirement, the easier it can be. If you wait, it could take much more per pay period to achieve the same goal. Let’s get started! Schedule a free 30-minute virtual consultation with one of our Nationwide consultants to learn more about Albemarle County’s 457(b) deferred compensation plan. Through a 457(b) plan, you can contribute to your account each pay period; invest that money so it can potentially grow into a lot more; and use tools to monitor your account and make adjustments as needed.
Appointments are set aside for ACPS employees next week, March 4-8! To schedule, scan the QR code in the flyer below or visit https://bit.ly/ACVA457. Continue reading

Rosters will update each night, so new students should have an account within 24 hours.
Any school that has been using the free version of Zearn can sync the data (so students can keep their historic progress). Continue reading
