We are looking forward to many ribbon-cutting events this fall. APS invites community members, County officials, civic associations, staff, students and families to tour and celebrate our new schools. It takes many hands to open five new schools and these events are both a celebration and a THANK YOU to the many staff, families and community partners who support our schools. We just completed our first of five events to officially open the new Montessori School of Arlington – the first standalone Montessori public school in Virginia. We look forward to four more to come.
