My last school visit for spring was to Innovation. I met with fifth graders to hear about their favorite parts of school, what they’ve learned this year and what they’re most excited about in middle school. I also stopped by the library to see PreK students in action. #OneTeamOneAPS #EveryAPSstudent
Students and two adults sit around a blue and red table engaged in discussion. The classroom is bright and cheerful with posters and bookshelves in the background. A group of 5th grade students and two adults, including the superintendent, sit around a colorful rectangular table having a conversation in a classroom. A sign on the wall behind them says “BRAVING.” The superintendent and a staff member stand smiling with a group of 5th grade students in front of a “BRAVING” bulletin board. Pre-K students sit on the carpet in the library watching a staff member read aloud from a book titled Two New Birds by Cindy Derby, displayed on a large screen.

Enjoyed spending time at Shriver today! Students were exploring the seasons, diving into some fun March Madness-themed reading and even helping with daily routines like attendance. So much joy and learning in every corner. #OneTeamOneAPS #EveryAPSstudent
A staff member sits with a student at a desk using a blue tablet device for communication in a classroom setting. A teacher in a red Elmo outfit leads a lesson on the seasons using a screen at the front of the classroom. The superintendent and another staff member observe while students, some using wheelchairs, participate. Multiple students and staff work together at desks across the classroom. Some students are reading with support, others using assistive devices. A student stands beside a bright yellow wall and recycling bin, checking attendance with a clipboard outside a classroom labeled “Art.”

I had a great conversation with students at HB Woodlawn! We talked about why they chose HB, their goals after graduation and the strong connections they’ve built with their TAs. Grateful for their honesty and insight. #OneTeamOneAPS #EveryAPSstudent
A group of HB Woodlawn high school students sit around a circular table with the superintendent, engaged in a thoughtful conversation in a cozy, decorated office with student artwork on the walls. A wider view of the HB Woodlawn student meeting shows students seated on a couch and chairs while a staff member speaks. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The superintendent and five HB Woodlawn students participate in a roundtable discussion about their school experience, surrounded by posters, photos and school memorabilia on the walls.

I had a wonderful time exploring classrooms at Arlington Science Focus School today! I visited Ms. McGhee’s first-grade class and Mr. B and Ms. Ellis’s fifth-grade science class. I enjoyed seeing curiosity, creativity and discovery in action! #OneTeamOneAPS #EveryAPSstudent
Superintendent Dr. Durán interacts with a student holding an apple wired to other materials, while other students and a teacher assist with the circuit experiment in a bright, immersive science classroom. A teacher gives instructions on using Makey Makey technology to a group of engaged students seated on the floor, with a colorful and interactive presentation projected behind him. Four students work together at a black table in a science-themed classroom with aquatic-patterned flooring. They are using laptops and materials as part of a hands-on science activity. Students in Ms. McGhee’s first-grade class sit at their desks using tablets and materials while the teacher supports them in a lesson on the solar system. The room is colorful and filled with student work.
