Our Building And Supporting Educators (BASE) Camp is an opportunity for new licensed staff to: 

Network with new colleagues, explore content and curriculum, learn about APS’s diverse students, and use APS instructional technology. 

BASE Camp RSVP 

BASE Camp  will be held at Wakefield High School (1325 S Dinwiddie Street, Arlington, VA 22206).  If you’re a T-Scale staff who is a new hire and have not worked within APS before August 6th, 2025, we’re excited to welcome you to the BASE Camp Orientation! Mark your calendars for August 13th, 14th, and 15th, 2025—we can’t wait to see you there!  

*BASE Camp is designed for T-scale new hires starting after the current school year ends, with an RSVP deadline of 5:00pm on August 6th to ensure sufficient preparation. Attendance is highly encouraged. Attendees are required to have fingerprint checks and background checks cleared by Human Resources beforehand.*

Please note: This orientation is separate from the On-boarding process done by Human Resources. New T-scale employees that attend will receive payment for their attendance. This orientation will include required sessions that might vary dependent on your position. A complete schedule of sessions will be emailed out to all RSVPs once they are finalized.
