I’m the @ACPSk12 Director of Executive Communications. I fluently speak equity and am busy trying to save the world one comma and period at a time!

On day two, we finished visiting all 18 @ACPSk12 schools. I always enjoy seeing students getting settled in to their routines & engaging with our school- based staff. Also, I am now selling tickets to see the ACPS Chiefs Band perform live. 🥁🎵🎶 #ACPSBack2School #BacktoSchoolVA

As my team planned for the first day of school this year, I emphasized how important it was we encapsulate the excitement of today because it is the first day for a student, a staff member or parent, even though it’s not for my team. #ACPSBack2School #ACPSFirstDay #BacktoSchoolVA

@APSlearns @ACPSk12 Aww, I miss you too! 🫶🏾

[ACPSDarylJ @ACPSDarylJ]

It is the first day of school for @ACPSk12 students today, so as we visit multiple schools today to welcome our students back, I am making sure we are being very demure, very mindful as we visit classrooms. #ACPSBack2School #ACPSFirstDay #BacktoSchoolVA

It was such a pleasure to start the first day of school at the @ACPSk12 Bus Depot with @Joy7News! #ACPSBack2School #ACPSFirstDay #BacktoSchoolVA

Maybe @gwenstefani will see this parody of “Hollaback Girl” and will wish our @ACPSk12 students well on their Standards of Learning State Assessments! 🍌🙊📣

On the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream Speech,” his dream may not be fully achieved yet, but we must press on in honor of his legacy because dreams come to fruition everyday when we don’t lose hope.

Another First Day of School is in the books for me, but these are some of my favorite moments from being at the Transportation Hub before the sun came up to having a former APS student be the DJ welcome students back. All in, it was a great day! #APSBack2School

[ACPSDarylJ @ACPSDarylJ]

Look at what just arrived today! 😍 I’m so excited and can’t wait to dig into this rubric over the next few months as I set benchmarking goals for our communication programs. @NSPRA #pr #schoolpr #comms

I’m glad I received my “I have a black belt in #schoolPR” button! #NSPRA2023

[ACPSDarylJ @ACPSDarylJ]

The @NSPRA Communications & Equity Task Force hosted the Celebrating Equity Through Inclusion Mixer last night, which is where I spoke about how equity is not only a classroom concept, but how it has to transcend classroom walls to benefit our diverse communities. #NSPRA2023

@LainezAlam Thank you @LainezAlam!

[ACPSDarylJ @ACPSDarylJ]

I am honored to receive a Golden Achievement Award for the APS Home Address Process because some of the work we do in #schoolPR is not always about the glitz & glamour, but projects that are complex & essential, so winning this award means a lot to me! #NSPRA2023
