The National Education Association (NEA) kicked off American Education Week this morning at @barrettaps.bsky.social, serving school lunch, reading to students, and leading a hands-on cooking activity.

In addition, the NEA donated $5,000 to Barrett, and APS received a $10,000 donation.

Individuals serve food in a school cafeteria with children waiting in line, featuring a selection of fresh fruits and a modern kitchen setup in the background. Four individuals stand together smiling, holding a large ceremonial check from the National Education Association to Barrett Elementary. They are at a "Celebrate American Education Week" event, with related informational banners in the background.

We are aware that the APS website is currently difficult to access due to a widespread internet service outage impacting many websites across the world.

We are monitoring the situation and will share updates as necessary. Thank you for your patience as service providers work to resolve the issue.

Proud to welcome over 200 students to the Latino Youth Leadership Conference at GMU. The theme, 'Leader Today, Change Makers Tomorrow,' came to life through powerful student emcees, inspiring panelists and closing remarks from Board Member Zuraya Tapia-Hadley. Our future is bright. #APSisAwesome

Today we pause to remember September 11, 2001, a day that profoundly impacted our community here in Arlington and across the nation.

We honor the lives lost, the families forever changed and the courage of those who responded. We will never forget.
