We know a federal government shutdown can bring stress and uncertainty for many in our community. The @AlexandriaVAGov has gathered resources to help support our students and their families during this time. Visit their website to find helpful information: acps.cc/46OmiMu

The ongoing federal government shutdown may delay paychecks, close federal offices, and affect some federal programs. The City of Alexandria is here to help. Call 311 or visit alexandriava.gov/FederalShutdown for support with food, housing, childcare, and more.
