Our Town

School is Back in Session in Albemarle County - Drive Safely! As students return to class in Albemarle County Public Schools, drivers are reminded to exercise extra caution on the roads this week. Keep an eye out for kids crossing streets and school buses making frequent stops. If you are dropping off your kids ensure to stay out of the bus loops. There is a new way to communicate with the teachers and staff as well. If you need the ACPS calendar for the school year, you can find it here.

Mint Springs Reopens After Repairs - The culvert damaged by Hurricane Debby has been repaired, and Mint Springs is now back open. The park has resumed its normal operating hours, though swimming will be limited to weekends only until the season ends on Labor Day weekend, August 31–September 2.

New Breakfast Option: Jax Bar and Grill Now Serving Morning Meals - Jax Bar and Grill has expanded their hours and is now serving breakfast from Thursday through Saturday. Stop by and enjoy a delicious start to your day!
