Summary: GOAL ONE: Thriving Students
ACPS will facilitate learning experiences grounded in high expectations, networks of care, and student curiosity to ensure academic and social-emotional development for all students while eliminating opportunity, access and achievement gaps.

OBJECTIVE TWO
ACPS will develop structures that support students’ academic mental health for both proactive and intervention purposes. We will ensure that academic time demands placed on students allow them adequate time to pursue their personal interests, including enrichment activities, lifelong learning and career goals.

STRATEGY 3: ACPS will investigate the value of implementing a seven-period academic day with one additional period for enrichment/intervention in high schools. One measure of success would include reduction in the number of high school students enrolling in study hall reported by school.
