HELP SAVE TUCKAHOE AS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL!
APS is considering converting Tuckahoe to an “option” school – that is, Tuckahoe would no longer be our neighborhood elementary school starting in 2021.  Current and future Tuckahoe students would have to attend another nearby school (not Tuckahoe).  Decisions are being made NOW – we need your help to keep Tuckahoe as a neighborhood school!

If we do not act and Tuckahoe is selected as an option school, there will be several negative impacts to our community, such as:

Changing Tuckahoe to an option school could make Reed school overcrowded before it even opens;

If you bought your home due to the proximity to a fantastic neighborhood school, you will have to enter a lottery to attend that school with the option program to be chosen at a later date;

Your home value may decrease due to the loss of the walkable neighborhood school;
There will be increased car and bus traffic due to county-wide students coming to the option school, plus new buses for current walkers going to new schools, in an already congested area, sharing roads with Rt.66 commuters and O’Connell HS; and
Our community will be divided between, potentially, 4 elementary schools.

How you can help:

Complete the 2-question APS Walk Zone Survey by March 12th: Walk Zone Survey Link

·         Question 1: please consider adding the following planning units: 17910, 16910, 16011, 16010, 16120, 16040, 17023, 17022, 17021 (each of these planning units has homes within ½ mile of Tuckahoe)
