You’ll find all the familiar content and more right on the SharePoint landing page. If you need help logging in, please follow the steps in this guide: ACPS Intranet (SharePoint) Login Steps. If you experience any technical difficulties, you can also call the ACPS Service Desk at 434-975-9444. For assistance with navigating the new Compass layout, feel free to email the Compass editor.

For Public Visitors:

Please note that with this relocation, the Compass is no longer publicly accessible. We appreciate your interest in our news and updates, but this change means that only employees with the appropriate credentials can access the content. For public information about our school district, including news and updates, please visit the school division’s main website at k12albemarle.org.

We thank you for your understanding and continued support as we strive to enhance our employee communication and services.
