Alexandria Schools Makes Virtual Learning Change For Jan. 6

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Students will get a break from virtual learning as Alexandria City Public Schools canceled classes Thursday.

Schools will be closed for in-person and virtual learning and extracurricular activities on Thursday. ACPS staff will participate in a virtual workday.

This is a change from the three other weather-related cancellations this week. The new ACPS policy for inclement weather provides continuity of learning with virtual learning during school building closures.

While Monday's storm continues to impact some roads and walkways, more snow could be on the way. The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for Alexandria from 9 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday. Forecasters expect 2 to 4 inches of snow, with a higher amount of 5 inches possible in isolated areas. Hazardous road conditions could impact Friday morning's commute.
