As the sun sets on National Family Engagement Day, we're reminded of something we celebrate all year long at the ACPS FACE Center -- the power of everyday partnership between families and school staff! Whether it's a quick message to a teacher, supporting learning at home, volunteering or celebrating our students, families play such a critical role in helping our students and schools thrive.

THANK YOU to all Alexandria City Public Schools families and staff for working together for students!

Happy National Family Engagement Day!

Today, we celebrate the heart of our schools — our families, caregivers, Family Liaisons, and dedicated staff who make ACPS a place where every family feels welcomed, supported, and valued.

To our parents and caregivers: Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and the love you pour into your children’s education every single day.
To our Family Liaisons: Your passion, cultural knowledge, and unwavering commitment to our families make a powerful difference. You are bridge builders, advocates, and champions of belonging.
To our staff and community partners: Thank you for creating environments where collaboration thrives and where every family can feel connected.

Family engagement is more than events — it’s relationships, listening, and working together to support every student’s success.

We are proud of the work happening across ACPS and the champions who lead with heart.
Here are some moments that capture the beauty and impact of our shared work.

Thank you for helping make ACPS a welcoming, inclusive community for ALL families!
