Virginia Department of Education - VDOE

VDOE and Virginia state offices are closed today in observance of Juneteenth, a day that celebrates freedom, resilience and progress.

Summer is a great time to continue learning! It can be a season of growth, fun and a time to discover something exciting each day! 📚🌞

All smiles for Week 2 of our Elementary Summer Academy! ✨

Our incredible team is ready and waiting to welcome our students into the classroom. With a dedicated focus on Math and Reading, our goal is to strengthen core skills and ensure every student is set up for success in the coming school year. We are loving every minute of learning together! 📚✏️

💡VDOE is proud to join a new national effort shaping the future of AI in K–12 education.

In May, VDOE along with education leaders from across the country, gathered with the Friday Institute and the State Educational Technology Directors Association to launch AI Across State Lines—a multi‑state collaboration focused on developing safe, equitable and practical guidance for AI use in schools.

Summer is an opportunity for families and communities to play an active role in helping young learners enjoy the benefits of summer reading.
