SCHOOL INFO
Charlottesville City Schools will hand out breakfast and lunch bags at 11 sites from 10 a.m. to noon weekdays to children 18 and younger, a free service that will continue throughout the closure. Parents don’t need to be present for their child to receive a bag. Information about the sites and meals is available at charlottesvilleschools.org/food.
The Albemarle County school division will distribute meals from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. weekdays in the parking lots of six schools: Albemarle, Monticello and Western Albemarle High schools; Sutherland and Walton Middle schools; and Woodbrook Elementary School. More information is available at

As we start the year, we look forward to seeing the fruits of our labor as a new bluer General Assembly takes action on our vision. We also look forward to working with all of you to bring these positive changes to reality for our nation in November.
Please help spread the word that all 17 year old’s who will turn 18 by November 3, 2020 are eligible to vote in the Presidential (March 3) and Congressional (June 9) primaries.
The registration deadline for the Presidential primary is February 10, 2020.
Early in-person starts January 18, 2020.
Anyone who wants to help register voters, even if they have been trained before, needs to get retrained each year, with the year running from July 1- June 30.
The online training video by the Department of Elections was recently updated:

Anyone who’s eager to get themselves re-certified can jump on it as soon as they have time to watch the video and take the “quiz” at the end.
